Correction of sleeping posture for newborn babies

Newborn babies need careful care. If the baby's body is not taken care of in time, it may bring some external environmental influences to the baby. Especially for the sleeping posture of the newborn baby, we need to observe carefully to prevent the baby's head shape from being deformed. Let's learn about it in the following article.

Sleeping on your side

1

advantage

* The baby sleeps on the right side, which helps the food enter the intestines smoothly and makes the digestion process smoother. It can prevent vomiting and suffocation.

* Lying on your side reduces the retention of throat secretions and makes the baby's respiratory tract more unobstructed

2

shortcoming

* The baby's body is short and round, so it is difficult to maintain a side-lying position. You need to use pillows to support the baby's body on both sides. The pillow should be too close to avoid covering the baby's mouth and nose.

* The baby's skull sutures have not completely closed yet and are in the non-plastic stage. Lying sideways can easily affect the baby's face shape. The shape of both sides of the face needs to be adjusted. Generally, babies prefer to face their mother's side or the bright side.

* Let your baby lie on his side and check the ear to avoid protruding ears

Sleeping on your back

1

advantage

* Sleeping on your back is good for your baby to communicate and be intimate with each other, and you can directly and clearly observe the baby's facial expressions. You can find and deal with the baby's spitting up and milk spilling. Sleeping on your back is good for your baby to get to know the world around him and his family.

* The baby lies flat on the bed, the contact area between the body and the bed is conducive to muscle relaxation, which makes the internal organs compressed and can bear more load, and the hands and feet are free and restrained, which is conducive to the development of limb movement.

2

shortcoming

* Let the baby sleep on his back during the first period. The baby's shape will be affected. The front diameter and left and right diameters are slightly bulging on both sides of the temples, and the back of the head is relatively flat. The north shape is more preferred, the south or west shape is more appreciated by the family. The front and back shapes are more appreciated.

* The back sleeping position is suitable for babies who are prone to vomiting or milk regurgitation. When lying flat, refluxed food accumulates in the throat and the food discharged from the mouth can easily enter the trachea and lungs, which can be dangerous. Therefore, you should burp the baby before feeding to expel gas and prevent vomiting. Babies who are prone to vomiting must be supervised when sleeping on their backs. If you find the baby vomiting, pick him up immediately to prevent vomit from entering the trachea.

In the above article, we learned about the sleeping position of a newborn baby. First of all, we must create a good sleeping position and sleeping environment for the child. Try not to let the child sleep on his stomach, as this may cause bleeding and suffocation. Parents should pay special attention.
