What to do if your baby is easily frightened?

Some babies are frightened, which seriously affects the baby's physical health. Therefore, if the baby is frightened, it is necessary to take appropriate treatment methods in time to ensure the health of the child. If the baby is often frightened, it is likely caused by other problems. So what should I do if the baby is easily frightened?

The following are the 6 most likely reasons why babies get frightened. Except for the last one which is congenital, it is best to avoid the others as much as possible.

(1) The body and mind are subjected to severe stimulation without any warning. For example: falling from a height (bed, table, etc.); a sudden loud noise.

(2) Unstable sleeping environment. For example: sleeping in a moving car; falling asleep in an adult's arms while walking; falling asleep in a noisy public place.

(3) Being forced to do something you don’t want to do. For example: a baby who doesn’t want to take a bath is forced to take a bath; a baby is forcibly hugged and kissed by someone the baby thinks is a stranger, etc.

(4) Being frightened by new and strange things. For example, the first time you see the vast ocean, the first time you see a huge animal, the first time you see a rumbling train, etc.

(5) If the baby lacks certain nutrients (such as calcium), it will affect the development of the nervous system, making the baby more likely to become excited, cry, be restless, and be easily frightened.

(6) A small number of babies are born with weak psychological endurance and will be frightened by even the slightest noise. We should pay more attention to this type of baby and let him receive less stimulation.

Good care, less fright for babies

To reduce the baby's fright, you need to give him safe and considerate care. Mothers should pay attention to the following 5 points:

1. Comfort and hug your baby as much as possible during the day. The warmer and more intimate the parents' embrace is, the more stable the baby's emotions will be;

2. Provide your baby with a good sleeping environment. If your baby goes to bed early, try not to watch TV in the room and don't talk too loudly;

3. Know clearly what your baby likes or dislikes, do not force your baby to accept things he does not want to do, or use a gentler approach. For example, wrap a baby who doesn't like taking a bath in a big towel before taking a bath, which will eliminate the baby's nervousness; play with the baby first, and then hold the baby after the stranger is familiar with him;

4. When taking your baby out, do not take him out for too long and be sure to avoid crowded and noisy public places. If the baby shows signs of crying, fussing, or being sleepy, it is best to go home immediately;

5. Give your baby a reasonable diet. Good nutrition not only brings your baby a healthy body and reduces diseases, but also means giving your baby good intellectual, social and psychological development.

If the baby is frightened, the baby needs to pay attention to taking appropriate treatment plans in time. This will ensure the baby's physical health and avoid problems caused by fright that may affect the baby's physical health, and avoid other problems caused by excessive fright.
