How many days after birth can babies swim? Swimming has many benefits for babies

The hospital will arrange for the baby to swim a few hours after the baby is born. This has many benefits. It can promote the baby's brain development, make the baby more relaxed, and stimulate the baby's kinesthetic sense. However, attention must be paid to the safety of the baby's swimming.

1. How many days after birth can a baby swim

Infant swimming is a specific, phased early human health care activity in water that can be performed on the day of birth for infants under one year old, under special safety protection measures, operated and cared for by specially trained personnel. It is divided into two parts: orderly, targeted and skillful infant water touch, passive swimming exercises and independent swimming.

2. Benefits of baby swimming:

1. Swimming promotes the development of children's brain. When babies perform large and free movements in the water, their various movements are directly controlled and regulated by the nervous system, and the activities of muscles and joints in turn stimulate the nerves in the cerebral cortex, thereby promoting the rapid development of brain function and making the brain more responsive to movements.

2. Improve the sensitivity of baby's sensory cells and body coordination. When a baby swims, the combined effects of multiple external factors such as water temperature, hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy and wave impact cause a series of benign reactions in the baby's skin, joints, nervous system and endocrine system, which intensifies the stimulation of the baby's sensory systems and promotes the rapid transmission of comprehensive information such as kinesthetic sense, taste, hearing, touch and balance, thereby improving reaction ability and promoting the coordinated cooperation of various organs to complete various movements.

3. Let children like the state of relaxation underwater and like water. The gentle caress of water can also make the baby feel physically and mentally comfortable, which is conducive to improving their sleep quality.

4. Promote the physical development of children. The baby's independent whole-body movement in water can enhance the flexibility and toughness of his bones and muscles.

5. Make use of the natural body reflexes of infants to control their breathing in a natural and relaxed manner, and enhance their self-rescue ability in water.

6. It is not only good for the physical development of children, but also helpful for their psychological development and character formation.

7. Swimming with your baby can also help you build a good parent-child relationship.
