Babies love to "surrender" to sleep, do not force the arms into the blanket

Since we have a baby, we always put the safety and health of our children first. The new parents face the new baby, the heart is like a taut string, lest they not take good care of where the baby grows problems.

Even if the baby is asleep, our vigilance is still undiminished. Did you find that babies seem to especially like to sleep with their hands above their heads, in a "surrender" position? Although the look is very cute and adorable, the baby that has been raised and not tired?

For this problem, my baby's father had an extraordinary obsession. As a second baby daddy, he forgot how the first baby came over as a child. The first time I saw you, I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep at night, I repeatedly tucked my child in, and I never tired of tucking my baby's little hands under the covers.

The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on the right one.

The baby sleeps always "surrenders" to be managed. After understanding the reason, you will be relieved

The baby sleeping in a "surrender" position is a very common phenomenon, especially during the newborn period, and is their common instinctive reaction. There are four main reasons why this is so.

Newborn conditioned reflexes

Newborns come with certain reflexes to maintain the physiological activities of life, their daily activities are mostly conditioned reflexes. For example, a newborn baby will cry, suck, make a fist with his hand, etc. Among the many reflexes, the surrendered sleep, which is also one of them, is also known as the symmetrical tonic neck reflex.

This reflex is a self-protective mechanism for the baby. For soft newborns, using this sleeping position can play a certain role in stabilization, to avoid random flips, so that they sleep more peacefully, and more secure

The continuation of pre-birth habits

Before birth, babies are always curled up in their mother's warm, small womb with very limited space. To make a little space for the body and make themselves feel more comfortable, babies will often keep their arms and legs bent in a curled-up position.

For a long time, the baby stays in this position. After birth, he will still subconsciously do the same action, and feel safer with his arms and legs bent position. When the baby sleeps in the supine position, the arms will naturally fall on the sides of the head, in a "surrendered" position.

It's too hot, he just wants to dissipate the heat

Rapidly developing baby's body, metabolism is faster than adults, so the temperature sensitivity is also higher than adults. The temperature that we usually feel is almost suitable, for the baby may already be hot.

Babies wear more and cover more thickly and sweat easily. When he feels uncomfortable, he stretches his arms outside the quilt, just to dissipate heat and cool off. At this time, parents pay attention to see if the room temperature is too high, or if covering the baby too much, to make timely adjustments.

Performance of baby's growth and development

The baby will raise his hands above his head when he sleeps, sometimes accompanied by stretching his arms, and legs, twisting his waist, and other actions. Old people often say that this is the baby in the "tiger hold head", "earn", and "long body".

Baby, this series of movements is indeed a reflection of healthy growth. This is similar to the action we sometimes take when we are tired of stretching, the baby will also raise his hands above his head, and twist his body hard to relieve fatigue.

So, you now understand the baby "surrenders" sleep after the reason, will still be torn whether to put his hands down? This sleeping posture is beneficial and harmless, as long as the baby sleeps well, the body index is normal, and parents do not worry about oh.

The baby's bad sleeping posture is harmful to health, 5 kinds of posture to correct

Of course, the baby's sleeping posture is far more than "surrender" this kind of, there is a saying: do not lift the quilt, you never know how soulful the baby's sleeping posture is! We often see their children, or short videos of children in a variety of sleeping postures, look strange, and people can not help but laugh!

But laugh to laugh, parents must also know that some babies' sleeping posture looks funny, but in fact, it can be harmful to their health. For example, the following 5 bad sleeping postures.

Sleeping on your back

Many babies like to sleep on their backs, which is a very bad habit, will affect the development of the child's thorax, so that its breathing and blood circulation are not good, long-term so will affect growth and development.

In addition, sleeping on your back there is a prominent problem, is easy to cause newborn suffocation. As newborn babies can not roll over and turn their necks, in case of pressure on the nose and mouth consequences. Usually to the baby practice lying down and lifting the head, there must be adults around the whole time to prevent accidents.

Sleeping with the head covered

The feeling of being covered with a blanket and wrapped in darkness, perhaps similar to the environment in the womb, makes the baby feel at ease and secure. Or maybe some slightly older babies are afraid of the dark, so they like to sleep with their heads covered by the quilt.

We all know that sleeping with your face covered is very uncomfortable, you will not be able to breathe well and you will be dizzy and chesty in no time, which is a symptom of lack of oxygen. If babies often sleep with their heads covered, not only poor sleep quality, but mental state, and physical development will also be affected.

Sleeping in your arms

When a mother puts her baby to sleep, she often cradles her baby with one hand and gently pats it with the other. This can enhance the intimate feelings between mother and child so that the baby produces a sense of dependence and security. But from another point of view, it is not good for the baby's health.

The weight of the body part will produce some pressure on the baby because the mother is holding the baby. When the mother is close, if face to face, the exhaled exhaust will be inhaled by the baby, which in turn is not conducive to the baby's sleep and health.

Sleeping in your arms

Many babies cry before bed and need to be held by their parents to put them to sleep. Some holding is not enough, but also to hold walking, holding and shaking, etc. This is not only a test of strength and stamina for parents, but also has a great impact on the health of the baby.

Often holding the baby to sleep, is not conducive to the development of the spine, and the body can not stretch muscle relaxation, which will directly affect the quality of sleep. Babies develop the habit of holding to sleep, forming dependence, later to change may be difficult.

Pillow hand sleep

The baby appears pillow hand sleep should be a "misunderstanding", not intentionally. If you find it, you must help him take his hand out in time. Because the weight of the head on the hand, results in hand blood circulation being blocked, and over time the arm will be sore and paralyzed, affecting the function of the limbs. If pressed around the eyes, it will also make eye compression, and eye pressure increases, causing damage to vision.
