What are the symptoms of a baby spraining his neck?

Newborn babies are carefully cared for by family members, and they like to hold their babies and play with them. However, if the holding posture is incorrect, the baby's bone development will be affected, and even serious harm will be caused to the baby. It is very common for babies to sprain their necks. Once a baby sprains his neck, it must be dealt with in time. So what are the symptoms of a baby spraining his neck?

First, what are the symptoms of a baby's neck sprain? If a baby sprains his neck, he may usually show symptoms such as crying, abnormal limb movements, abnormal head movements, etc. The specific degree of injury requires specific examination in the hospital.

Second, because the baby's bones are relatively soft, it generally does not cause bone damage. If it is a cervical spine injury, it may cause paralysis. Therefore, if the baby suffers from cervical spine injury, it will be impossible for him to move freely, and the child will obviously cry and make a fuss. At this time, mothers should pay attention to their children's emotional changes in time.

Third, how to hold the baby to prevent neck sprains? The correct way to hold a newborn baby is when you want to pick up the baby. You can first use your eyes or voice to tease him to pay attention, and while teasing him, reach out and slowly pick him up. There are two ways to hold a newborn baby: wrist holding method: put the baby's head in the crook of your left arm, protect the baby's head with your elbow, protect the back and waist with your left wrist and left hand, extend the right forearm over the baby to protect the baby's legs, and support the baby's buttocks and waist with your right hand. This method is a more commonly used posture. Hand-support method: Use your left hand to support your baby's back, neck, and head, and your right hand to support his little butt and waist. This method is often used to pick up and put down the baby from the bed. When holding the baby, let the baby close to the mother's left chest. When holding the baby, his head should be placed on the mother's left side, and the baby's ear should be intentionally close to the parents' heartbeat so that he can hear the rhythm of the heartbeat.

What are the symptoms of a baby's neck sprain? If the baby has a cervical spine injury, there will be a noticeable sound when shaking the neck, and the neck muscles will be relatively stiff. You can't tell just by looking at the outside. It is necessary to judge whether the baby has cervical spine injury based on his emotional changes and activity changes.
