Everyone knows that babies can slowly lift their necks after three months, so many people think that babies can stand upright after three months, but they don’t know that three-month-old babies can’t stand upright, even babies under 1 year old , There are also many hazards in frequent holding, and these hazards are ignored by parents, so let's take a look at the hazards of frequent holding of babies under 1 year old. And how to hold the baby safely?

Hazards of babies under one year of age who are often held:
We all know that with the development of modern society, people attach great importance to the concept of prenatal and postnatal care. Therefore, many families do not have many children. In such an environment, many families hope to give more care to their children. And love, of course, about how to take care of the baby, let's discuss in detail together, should the newborn be held or lie down?
1. Affects skeletal development
Newborn babies have immature bones, and their spines are curved when they are held. In the long run, it will affect the baby's bone development.
2. Affects brain development
The baby's development needs to go through some periods of big movement development, which is what we often say: two lifts, four turns, six sitting, seven rolling, eight crawling, and nine standing. If held frequently, the baby's lack of movement can lead to delayed movement, which in turn affects the development of the brain.
3. Affects sleep quality
Babies are often held and rocked to sleep. Once you get into the habit, you "wake up on the ground" as soon as you go to bed. This tossing back and forth will inevitably lead to poor sleep, and adults will be tired and paralyzed.
4. Forming a Dependence on Being Others
Hold the baby often, the baby will get used to it, then become dependent, and cry when no one is holding it. If things go on like this, babies will form excessive psychological dependence on their parents, and are unwilling to contact new friends or new things, which will lead to irritability and willfulness, which is not conducive to the development of the baby. healthy personality.
5. Easily lead to obesity

Babies are held all the time, there will be a lack of exercise, the development of major movements will be delayed, and the baby can easily become overweight and obese.

How to hold your baby safely:
Some parents like to hold their children all the time, while some parents worry that holding their children often will form dependence, so they ignore the baby. Even if the baby has been crying for a long time, it will not be picked up and coaxed, which is actually not good. If the newborn needs to be held, this is very safe for you to hold.
Horizontal holding of baby within 1.3 months
Newborn babies under 3 months should be held horizontally. This is because a newborn baby's cervical spine and spine have not yet formed, and the bones are very soft. Holding your baby vertically increases the pressure on your baby's cervical spine and spine, while holding your baby horizontally reduces your baby's neck. pressure on the back.
2. You can burp after feeding
Newborn babies swallow a lot of air when breastfeeding or crying. The accumulation of air in the body can cause bloating, and the baby can have a stomachache. Therefore, it is necessary to burp your baby after feeding. The most common burping position is to have your baby burp vertically. Sit your baby on your lap, lean forward, and support your baby's head with your thumb and forefinger, and your baby's chest with your palms. Then gently burp with the other hand.
In addition to hiccups, vertical hugs are not recommended for other situations.
3. Hug properly when you wake up
After waking up, your baby will look for family. At this time, you can hug, touch, and talk to him appropriately. Babies will feel safe, and language communication can stimulate their language development and brain development.
Presumably for many novice parents, every child is so cute, and the pink and tender look is really cute. It seems that no amount of hugs is enough, but for newborns, the editor still recommends less hugs, allowing the baby to sleep more and lie down, which directly affects the development of the baby's spine.

I believe that everyone has a new understanding of how to hold the baby safely. No matter whether parents and friends hold the baby correctly, then after reading this article, you must learn to hold the baby correctly, and don’t hurt the child because of your own way of holding it!
