Mistakes with newborns , avoid them ...!!!!
Mothers often make mistakes, especially when they give birth, they do not know how to start with the correct steps, whether from information they read from a non-professional source or they do not care about that, and this follows her life as a weary mother of the subject of education and also the child
These are advice from a specialist and pediatrician to recommend.
1- Ignore the child when crying:
It is not recommended to ignore the crying of the child during the night, as this behavior leads to the child's anxiety and insecurity. But the baby can be left crying a little before rushing to carry it, sometimes calming down alone.
2- It is not allowed to kiss the child:
A mother should not allow others to hug and kiss the baby before he or she is three months or four months old, in order to leave a chance for the development of the baby's immune system.
3- Delay in changing baby diapers:
Especially during the night, which happens a lot on the ground, but the mother should know that this may lead to a rash and sometimes urinary tract infections. Ideal handling with a child requires changing the diaper every two to three hours at most.
4- Shake the child:
It has now become a proven scientific fact that shaking a child poses a real risk to his or her health, which may amount to death.
5- Reincarnation (wrap the child tightly inside his clothes or blanket):
While reincarnation is not a problem if the mother is alert and accompanied by the child, it can become dangerous at night, and one of the most serious consequences is that the child is suffocated.
6- Cleaning the child from the back to the front when changing the diaper, especially in females:
This helps the movement of microbes from the anus to the vagina and the urine exit slot, a practice that can lead to severe infections of the urinary system
7. Keeping the baby's head in one position during the night:
the child is unable to move his neck until the age of six, and the child's continued placement in one position during his sleep with his or her inability to move may result in a flat spot in the child's head. Therefore, when breastfeeding or changing a diaper, it is preferable to return it in a different position.
8- Keeping the child at home:
This is one of the prevailing misconceptions: the child's going out in the right atmosphere to the open spaces improves his or her health.
9. Limiting the timing of breastfeeding to specific dates:
It is normal for a baby to be breastfed every two to three hours, but the child should never be abused to meet these dates.
10. Child punishment:
Its purpose is usually to discipline the child and to prevent him from certain behaviours, but that is never logical or effective before the child learns the meaning of the word "no", before he or she has completed one year of his or her life.
11- Use a pillow under the child's head, no matter how thin:
This point is very serious because the use of these pillows threatens the newborn with asphyxiation, and the baby at that age does not even need it to feel comfortable.
12. Smoking next to the child:
Whether by the mother, father or anyone else, the small size of the baby compounds the effects of toxins found in cigarette smoke on his body.
13. Domestic treatment of infant hypothermia:
Although this can be accepted in older children, a child under 4 months of high temperature requires immediate consultation with a pediatrician.
14- Forgetting to burp (citation):
Especially after night infants, where fatigue and fatigue dominate the mother, this forgetfulness leads to the accumulation of air in the baby's abdomen, causing him to colic and cry, and depriving the mother of sleep.
