What are the benefits of bathing and swimming for babies?

As the name suggests, bathing and swimming means doing both bathing and swimming at the same time. Generally speaking, this is for children. Since children are still relatively young, they may not like taking a bath, so they will be bathed by swimming to keep the body clean. So what are the benefits of swimming and bathing for babies? The following is the relevant content found by the editor.

1. Stimulate and promote brain nerve development, significantly improve intelligence level

The brain nerves are connected to the terminal nerves of various parts of the body. Therefore, when the baby performs large and free movements in the water, various movements are directly controlled and regulated by the nervous system, and the activities of muscles and joints in turn stimulate the nerves of the cerebral cortex, thereby promoting the rapid development of brain function and making the brain more responsive to movements.

2. Establish the baby's sense of security and trust in the new environment, and cultivate self-confidence and adaptability.

Babies who grow up in an environment that lacks a sense of security generally lack wit and the ability to express emotions when interacting with others. Therefore, the most important thing for a baby's intellectual development is to eliminate his or her insecurity caused by changes in the environment. Infant swimming recreates the amniotic fluid environment of the uterus, allowing the baby to float in the weightless water, and gradually feel the safety and happiness of being able to stretch their limbs freely in the new environment, so as to help the baby adapt to different internal and external environments and build self-confidence and adaptability.

3. 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.

From the above content, you can know the benefits of swimming and bathing for babies. However, there are also some precautions when doing swimming and bathing. You should always watch your child when letting him swim and bathe by himself to prevent him from accidentally ingesting the bath water, which can easily cause infection. In addition, children's skin is relatively delicate, and it is not suitable to soak in water for too long as this will cause wrinkles.
