Some traditional taboos of newborns

With the birth of a newborn, it is a happy moment for the whole family, and some taboos about taking care of children are also valued by the elderly in the family. Young people's scientific outlook is relatively trendy, but they should also understand it and cultivate healthy and lovely babies.

1, what does the newborn eat for the first time? Many parents feed them in a muddle, which makes children have various taste habits. It is best to feed a spoonful of warm water at the first bite. The child's stomach is weak and there are many impurities in his posture, which can help the baby adapt to the new environment better. If you feed milk powder, your child's taste will be heavier and you will not be used to breast milk when you grow up.

2, the nipple is not suitable for premature use, the baby's mouth is very tender, wrapped in the nipple, the small mouth will be very painful, and even worn out, parents should be very distressed to see the child hungry, eat, and stop eating because of pain.

Don't let people touch the child's head. Because there is an encouraging place above children's heads, called Xinmen, and the skull is not fully developed, don't touch it before the age of one, and the old people will superstitious say that if they touch it, they will not be able to speak.

4. Don't touch the child's face. The baby's face is red, tender and fat, and it feels great. Many guests can't help touching, pinching and kissing, which is very bad and unsanitary, and it is easy to cause children to drool in the future.

5. The clothes of infants and young children should not dislike the old clothes worn by others. Old clothes are often more comfortable, there is no hard place, and they will not be hard to the tender skin of children. Don't be greedy when you buy it yourself. It must be good, cotton and soft materials.

The following five are superstitious statements.

6, don't say that the child is fat, because it may be a crow's mouth. After that, the child became thinner because of illness. There is no scientific basis, but many people are taboo.

7. Don't take children under three years old to participate in sacrifices and enter the ancestral hall, because newborns will see things that adults can't see, and they are easily frightened. There is no scientific basis, but too many people, too much smoke, too much noise and bad air will really scare children. You'd better not go.

8. When you go out with your child in your arms at night, don't be higher than an adult's head. See article 6 for reasons.

9, baby sheets, or quilts, the corner of the bed at the end of the bed is an ancient copper coin, which brings together the popularity of thousands of people, is the most positive thing, and can ward off evil spirits. Of course, many people in rural areas don't have copper coins, so they put an axe under the bed. It always sounds strange.

10, if babies are frightened during the day, they will cry at night. If you change diapers, the diapers are full and you are not sick, you'd better try screaming. The method is as follows: put a bowl of water in the pot, don't fill it up. Take three chopsticks, dip them in some water, and call the child's name at the door. For example, when xx comes home, another person will answer. After three times, click on the child's forehead. Older children can let him click on chopsticks. Finally, put it upright in the bowl. If it stands, it means it is afraid. Leave it there until tomorrow. There is no scientific basis for this. Chopsticks stand upright easily by water, but many people say they are effective. Exaggerated people also say that they can't have a good look in the hospital, but they just need to come back and cry for their souls. As we all know, the drug effect is particularly light for children, and it is more difficult to achieve results. Fu You's shout of kung fu worked.

Finally, I want to remind some elderly people that their children are ill and don't rush to the hospital. If they don't recover in a few days, they will receive injections. This is a very bad habit. It is understandable to watch a child's illness and heartache, but pharmacology has a process. Improper medication, or overweight, will soon improve, but it is not conducive to the long-term healthy growth of children!
