What are the benefits of swimming for newborn babies?

Nowadays, after many babies are born, their parents will take their babies swimming. You can see many babies swimming in the pool with a swimming ring around their necks. Although we all know that swimming is a very good sport for the body, it can exercise the muscles of the whole body and can also help lose weight, but what are the benefits of swimming for newborn babies? Now let us introduce in detail some of the benefits of swimming for newborns.

1. If you take your newborn baby swimming, especially right after birth, the water can massage the body and promote gastrointestinal motility, so that the baby can expel meconium as soon as possible. It can also help babies with physiological jaundice get rid of jaundice.

2. Swimming is a sport that can exercise the whole body, especially for babies, as the amount of exercise is relatively large. In this way, babies can exercise muscles and ligaments throughout the body during swimming, and it can improve their lung capacity. If you take your baby swimming often, then the baby's physical fitness will be better, and the appetite will increase after exercise, and the baby's nutrition will also keep up.

3. The baby's body organs need to be trained to stimulate their development. Swimming is a good sport. Touching water will stimulate the baby's brain and sense of touch. Such babies will be more flexible and energetic.

4. Choose a swim ring that is suitable for your baby. The baby's swimming ring is normally put on the neck to prevent the baby's head from being immersed in water. The swimming ring on the neck is not like the swimming ring on the waist.

The size of the swimming ring is just right. If it is too big, it may fall off and cause an accident. If it is too small, it may strangle the neck and cause suffocation. Therefore, the general standard for a swimming ring is that after it is put on the neck, there should be a distance of two fingers between the swimming ring and the neck.

5. Do not use cold water directly for swimming. Generally, the temperature should be controlled at a similar temperature to the baby's body temperature, which is about 37 or 38 degrees. The temperature of the swimming room should be around 27 or 28 degrees. After the baby finishes swimming, wrap the baby with a dry towel or bath towel immediately to prevent the baby from catching a cold due to the wind.

The above article introduces some benefits of newborn swimming. Although there are many benefits of baby swimming, there are also some things that need attention. For example, disinfection and sterilization are required before and after the baby swims, because there are a lot of bacteria in the pool. It is recommended that you build a separate children's swimming pool at home to avoid many people being in the water together, which makes it easier to get infected with bacteria.
