What to do if your newborn is easily frightened

After a newborn is frightened, you must call out to the soul, so as to relieve the fright. Many people don’t know what to do when this happens. They tell them not to be nervous and just relax. But what should we do if newborns are easily frightened? This is something many mothers don’t know. There are some solutions for newborns in this situation. The following is a detailed introduction.

What to do if your newborn is easily frightened:

1. As soon as the baby is frightened, the mother should immediately comfort the baby with a gentle voice and touch the baby's skin. For example, run your hands through your baby's hair or pat his back. The voices and physical contact of loved ones can quickly make the baby feel safe and have the greatest soothing effect.

Before going to bed every day, the mother puts her face against the baby's face to make the baby feel safe. Children also need to feel safe. Once they lose their sense of security, they will cry when they sleep.

2. Divert the baby's attention and hold him in a strange posture. For example, let the baby lie face down on your arms and support his face with your palms. You can also gently rock the baby with your left hand and gently stroke the baby's back with your right hand. The baby's field of vision is shifted and he will feel strange and forget about the fright he just had.

4. Physical therapy recovery: Apply baby lotion on the center of the baby's index and middle fingertips, and gently rub them for about 30-50 times. The baby will soon calm down. If the baby cannot fall asleep due to being frightened, you can press the fingertips of the baby's ten fingers with your own fingertips, 5 times for each finger, which is very effective in helping the baby fall asleep.

5. Correct nutritional deficiencies. For babies who can be breastfed, try to breastfeed them. If they are drinking formula milk, ensure the quality and quantity of milk every day. If they have started to eat complementary foods, it is best to provide the baby with a balanced diet and natural food. Under normal circumstances, do not give him so-called supplements, nutritional supplements, or health care drugs. If the baby's nutritional deficiency is already quite serious, systemic treatment is recommended.

6. You can do some massage like this: use your thumb to push from the tip of the child's thumb along the outside of the thumb to the base of the child's palm 50 times; push from the tip of the ring finger along the palm to the base of the palm 50 times; along the middle of the palm of the forearm, push from the wrist joint to the elbow joint 20 times; from the wrist joint along the palm side of the forearm thumb to the elbow joint 20 times; pinch the midpoint of the transverse line of the child's palm and wrist; pinch the Shixuan acupoint on the child's fingertips; pinch the child's spine from bottom to top 3 times.

After understanding what to do if newborns are easily frightened, you can safely choose the above relief methods to improve this situation. The use of these methods will not cause any harm to the newborn's body, but it should be noted that the strength of these methods should not be too great.
