What are the disadvantages of baby swimming?

Most babies like water. In order to let their babies come into contact with water as early as possible, many parents take their children to baby swimming pools. Swimming seems to make babies happy and improve their physical fitness, but there are also the following risks: the swimming ring can hurt the baby's cervical spine, give the baby a false feeling, compress the trachea, and even cause the baby to fall into the water because the swimming ring is too loose, threatening the baby's life!

1. Swimming rings can harm your baby’s cervical spine

You should know that the baby's swimming ring is stuck on the neck, and the whole body is supported by the strength of the entire neck. It feels a bit like pulling carrots when we were children. If you have experienced it, you can definitely imagine that pulling the baby's head with your hands and lifting it up hard is a very uncomfortable feeling. Of course, it feels the same when using this swimming ring!

Of course, everyone will think that water has buoyancy, but you must know that this can't offset much of the weight of the body. The baby's body is still growing and is definitely more fragile than an adult, but do you really pull carrots for him often? If you don’t know how, it’s best not to use the baby swimming ring, otherwise it will hurt the baby’s cervical vertebrae!

2. Illusion caused by baby swimming ring

Why are babies so happy about swimming? First, imagine that after putting on the swimming ring, the baby only has his head above the water, and his posture must be similar to standing. If the baby is tall enough or the water is relatively low, it is very likely that he can touch the bottom of the water with his feet. Therefore, you can often see babies jumping in the water and landing with their feet!

Before the baby learns to walk, try not to let the baby stand, because the baby's leg bones and ligaments are not yet capable of standing. Otherwise, it may cause the baby to have O-shaped legs and will make the baby form a wrong idea, which will make it more difficult for the baby to learn to walk in the future!

3. Swimming ring compresses the trachea

You should know that the position of the neck is very important. If you pinch it hard, we will not be able to breathe. Therefore, the disadvantage of baby swimming rings is compression. Because it is stuck tightly, you can't tell whether it will affect the baby's normal breathing. It may even squeeze the artery, so the baby may go into shock silently, thereby harming the baby's brain development!

4. The swimming ring is too loose

Many parents may think that the baby's neck may be choked, so they usually buy a bigger one for their baby. However, this will lead to a more serious problem. The baby grows very fast, and it is very likely that the baby's neck will be tight the next day, which will affect the baby's normal breathing. If it is a little bigger, it may not be able to get stuck and fall off. If the parents are not around to watch, the consequences will be disastrous!
