What to do if your baby is frightened

Babies are easily frightened when they are young. Since the baby has just come out of the mother's body and is in contact with the outside environment for the first time, he will be very sensitive to changes in the environment. Babies at this stage lack a sense of security and need the patience of their parents to accompany them. Parents should also pay attention to the baby's emotional changes in time and provide comfort. So, what should you do if your baby is frightened?

1. Generally, no special treatment is required, but for patients with recurrent attacks or frequent episodes, sedatives can be taken under the guidance of a doctor to control night terrors. If the examination shows no disease, there is no need to worry. These phenomena will gradually decrease as you age. The disease can heal itself once the cause is eliminated.

2. When the baby is frightened, the mother should pat and touch him more. Children need affection from time to time. Mother should communicate with him more through body language, let him know that you are protecting him, pat him gently, and shake him left and right with your body as the axis.

3. When the baby is frightened, the mother should communicate with him in his language, even though he cannot understand it yet. Mom can talk to the baby, for example, baby, don’t be afraid, mom is here, etc.

4. Newborn babies have skin care and like to be touched. Adults can do baby massage exercises through the baby's clothes to enhance the baby's sense of security. As soon as the baby is frightened, the mother should immediately comfort the baby with a gentle voice and touch the baby's skin, such as stroking the baby's hair or patting the back. The voices and physical contact of loved ones can quickly make the baby feel safe and have the greatest soothing effect.

5. Hold your baby in a strange position. 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 will feel strange if the field of vision is reversed.

6. If the baby is calcium deficient, it may cause fright. In this case, calcium must be supplemented scientifically and rationally based on trace element tests.

7. If your baby is easily startled when sleeping, you can play some soothing music before the baby falls asleep. After the baby falls asleep, be careful not to let his little hands press on the chest. When the baby wakes up, gently hold his little hands, or pat his back to comfort him, and he will fall asleep quickly.
