What should I do if my baby cries while swimming?

Summer is here, and all parents like to take their babies to the swimming pool to swim. This is a very good exercise and has a certain cool feeling. However, it also brings some distress to parents at the same time, because some babies are prone to crying and making a fuss while swimming. What should you do if your baby cries and makes a fuss while swimming? The editor tells you.

How to stop your baby from crying while swimming

1. Before swimming, you can wet your baby's body with pool water to let him adapt to the water temperature first, or you can use floating toys in the water to attract his attention.

2. If you have tried to comfort your baby as described above and he/she is still crying, you should pick him/her up immediately, comfort him/her softly, and pat his/her back. Then, based on the specific situation, determine the cause of the baby's crying, such as hunger, defecation, urination, fatigue, dry mouth, etc., and solve it in time.

3. If the baby cries because there is a long interval between two swimming sessions or because he is afraid of water for other reasons, this is generally a sign of lack of security. The mother can do this: gently hold the baby's hand, comfort him with words, or use toys to attract his attention, give the baby time to adapt, and then slowly let go. If the baby is crying very loudly, it is best to take him out of the water first and then let him go back into the water after calming him down. Benefits of baby swimming

As a sport, baby swimming can not only improve the baby's physical coordination ability and strengthen their physique, but also is beneficial to their intellectual development and mental health.

1. It helps the development of brain nerves and is very beneficial to intellectual development.

The brain's nervous system controls the mobilization of all parts of the body. When babies swim, the muscles and joints used will also give certain stimulation to the brain nerves, thereby promoting the development of brain function and making the brain's regulatory ability more and more flexible.

2. Enhance sense of security, cultivate adaptability and self-confidence.

A baby's lack of security during infancy can affect his or her entire life. If a child's ability to express emotions is not developed smoothly, it can easily cause obstacles in the child's future interpersonal interactions. Infant swimming provides babies with an opportunity to move around like they were in amniotic fluid, reconstructing the environment in which they lived in the mother's womb. This can effectively eliminate children's insecurity about the new environment, help them build self-confidence, and enhance their adaptability.

3. Stimulate the sense of touch of each sensory system and improve the coordination of the body.

When a baby swims in the water, the cooperation of various organs is needed, and the sense of taste, touch, balance, etc. need to be fully mobilized. Multiple information needs to be coordinated with each other. More practice can improve reaction ability.

I believe that after the editor’s introduction, everyone should have a certain solution to the situation where the baby cries loudly while swimming. However, I still want to remind everyone that when taking the baby out of the swimming pool, you must wipe off the water on the baby’s body in time, otherwise the baby will easily catch a cold.
