One-month-old baby wrapping method

Newborns sleep alone, even if they are covered with quilts like adults, they will feel cold. Wrapping a baby can make him sleep in a warm environment.

Let's talk about the "candle bag" baby wrapping method commonly used by the older generation.

The older generation likes to wrap the newborn in a bag and then tie the baby firmly with a cloth belt outside. The lower limbs are straight and tightly wrapped around the middle and lower femur and knees, like candles, referred to as "candle bags".

1, this kind of wrapping method, of course, keeps warm better;

Reality: There is no heating problem at home now. As long as the indoor temperature is kept at around 20℃, there is no need to wrap the baby too thick and strict. "Candle bag" violates the characteristics of baby's physical and mental development.

2, this can prevent the baby's little hand from shaking left and right, and reduce the chance of disease infection;

Actual situation: this kind of wrapping method, commonly known as "candle bag", can really protect the baby from bacterial infection.

3. Finally, tie the baby with a belt to prevent the baby from "bowing" and help the baby develop the habit of immobility;

Actual situation: the baby will become a "0" leg because of the lack of vitamin D and calcium in the body. If you forcibly straighten and wrap your baby's legs, it is easy to dislocate your baby's hip. If it is not found in time, it will lead to skeletal deformity of the baby. When a baby is born, elders and parents will wrap it in hugs. In fact, there is a scientific basis for swaddling newborns, which not only makes newborns feel more secure, but also soothes their emotions. In addition, it is also a way for parents to express their love for their babies. So, how to wrap a quilt for a newborn?

First of all, we need to understand why we should wrap the baby in a quilt. The baby's brain development is not good enough. Once there is movement, it will scare the baby and affect the baby's normal sleep habits and quality.

The newborn's own firepower is insufficient, and it will be cold to sleep alone with a quilt. If he is wrapped in a bag, he can sleep in a warm environment. If it is a bag for the baby, it will make the baby feel safer and will not make the baby feel a lot uncomfortable. It can also keep warm and windproof, and can protect the delicate baby's body well.

Wrapping the baby in a bag can also prevent the baby from catching cold because the quilt can't tightly wrap the body because of the baby's exercise. Therefore, parents should know the correct wrapping method, so as to ensure the use effect of the whole quilt to the maximum extent.

So how do you pack your baby correctly? After laying the quilt flat, put the baby on the quilt to prevent the baby from moving. First, wrap the baby's head and make a small hat for the baby with a corner of the bag. Then wrap the baby's feet in a bag that grows from the bottom to ensure that the baby's feet don't catch cold! Wrap the other side flat and fix the quilt with a special bandage.
