Illustrative steps of baby sleeping bag, the newborn baby suddenly leaves the mother's womb and comes into this world. It's easy to feel insecure at first. At this time, it is especially necessary for the baby to wrap it in swaddling clothes, which is comfortable and safe, and sleeps better. Let's share the graphic steps of the baby sleep bag.
Illustration of baby sleeping bag steps 1 What are the "stresses" of baby packages?
Newborns will have a physiological "scare reflex" after birth. The so-called "scare reflex" means that the baby suddenly opens his hands and feet during sleep and is suddenly awakened. Because the "scare reflex" will affect the baby's sleep, it is necessary to take certain measures to help the baby sleep longer and more stably. Wrapping with swaddling clothes is a widely used and effective method.
The correct "infant" is beneficial and harmless.
Babies are "artifacts" for babies to sleep. The correct swaddling is not only harmless, but also has many benefits: the baby sleeps longer and more stably, promotes the baby's self-soothing behavior and helps the baby grow and develop. On the contrary, the wrong "infant" does cause harm, such as affecting the development of the hip joint.
The correct principle of swaddling clothes: "tighten up and loosen down"
Babies are not dumplings. The correct principle of swaddling clothes is to "tighten up and loosen down", and sleep on your back after wrapping:
"Tightening": "Tightening" means that the baby's upper body should be wrapped tightly, so as to avoid the risk of choking the nose and mouth when the baby's hands are separated from infancy;
"Loose": "Loose" means that the baby's lower body must be loose, so that the baby's hip joint can move freely without affecting the development of the baby's hip joint.
The correct details of swaddling clothes
(1) the blanket is paved in a diamond shape, and the apex angle is rolled inward, and then the baby is laid flat on the blanket with the head and neck at the apex angle;
2 The baby's hand is flat next to the body, and the quilt on the right first wraps the baby's arm and body;
3 Wrap a blanket at the bottom and put it under the baby's legs so that the baby can still bend;
④ Finally, fold the blanket on the left side, as shown in the following figure.
How long can a baby be wrapped?
The way to wrap the baby in swaddling clothes is wrong, and the time is too long, which is not only bad for the baby's growth and development, but also brings a lot of harm. So how long can the baby "wrap"? The following are the precautions that parents need to pay attention to.
"wrapped in swaddling clothes" can be used from birth.
After the baby is born, the nurse will wrap it up in the delivery room. So generally speaking, babies can fall asleep with swaddling clothes as soon as they are born. One thing to note is: "After being wrapped in swaddling clothes, parents should watch the baby burp for half an hour, and then let the baby sleep on his back to avoid spitting milk."
The longest "infant" time shall not exceed 3 months.
Generally speaking, the longest infant time should not exceed 3 months, but it should also be decided according to the actual situation. Some babies are so adaptable that they don't need to be swaddled after the full moon. Some babies have poor adaptability, which may be a little longer, but try not to exceed 3 months.
"Babies" and other substitutes
In addition to "swaddling", there are some tools that can help your baby sleep more stably. For example, the shockproof sleeping bag, which simulates the uterine sleeping environment, will also give the baby a sense of security and sleep more stably.
How to "quit" babies without affecting their sleep?
I talked about the method and the longest time of infant, and then I want to talk about how to quit infant. Babies are used to being wrapped in sleep. Will letting go suddenly affect your baby's better sleep? Let's take a look at how to "quit" the baby smoothly.
The first step of "warning" is to put one hand first, and then put two hands.
After about 3 months, the baby's sleep gradually improved and the frightened reflex disappeared. At this time, you can start to "quit" the baby. The first step of "abstinence" is to try to loosen one hand first, and then slowly transition to loosen both hands to give the baby a time to adapt.
Step 2: Sleep on your side.
Parents should not give their baby a supine position to sleep in infancy. It is best to let the baby sleep on his side, because sleeping on his side can effectively reduce the baby's movements and avoid discomfort after infancy.
The third step of "abstinence": give up during the day and transition to abstinence at night.
"abstinence" and "weaning" are the same. Should be gradual, let the baby adapt slowly, there will be no strong resistance. When you are a baby, you can quit during the day and then at night to effectively avoid your baby's sleep problems. Try it several times and be patient.
Illustration of Baby Sleeping Bag Step 2 Several reasons why babies are wrapped in swaddling clothes.
1, keep warm.
Yes, as many parents think, wrapping the baby can play a good role in keeping warm, especially in early spring, where the temperature is still very low and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Newborns should take warm measures, and the correct package can let the baby sleep in a warm environment.
2, let the baby sleep safer
After the baby is born, the nervous system is still very weak. Once stimulated by external sound or shaking, the body will react, and in severe cases it will be frightened, which will affect the quality of sleep. The baby can reduce the situation that the baby is frightened by external stimuli and improve the quality of sleep.
3, convenient for adults to hold their babies
The newborn baby is soft, can't look up, and is not easy to hold up, especially when feeding, which is very inconvenient. Babies in infancy are easy to be picked up.
Step 4 relieve colic
Wrapping the baby with a big thin blanket will make the baby feel warm, comfortable and safe, and also help the baby to relieve colic.
The correct posture of wrapping a baby in swaddling clothes.
first step
Put the towel flat, fold a corner, and put the baby's face up on the blanket, with the head facing the folded position and the shoulders slightly lower than the folded position.
Second step
Gently straighten the baby's right arm, pick up the left corner of the towel, wrap it around his body to the right and stuff it between his left arm and his left body.
Third step
Fold the bottom corner of the towel up and wrap the baby's feet.
Fourth step
Gently straighten the baby's left arm, pick up the right corner of the towel, wrap it to the left, and fix the excess part behind the body, only exposing the head and neck.
Warm reminder:
1. Don't wrap the baby's hips and legs too tightly, and make sure that the baby's hips and legs can move and stretch freely in the baby's body. If you wrap your hips too tightly, it may lead to dysplasia and dislocation of your baby's hip.
2. Make sure that there are at least two or three fingers between the baby's chest and the baby, so as not to affect his smooth breathing.
