Parents should know why hospitals leave baby's footprints. Are you concerned?

Before the baby is born, expectant mothers and fathers are bound to make all preparations, including a "foot print".

Maybe many young parents have never heard of it, and people who don't know it even have some resistance to it!

just two days ago, I accompanied my cousin to the hospital for a check-up, during which I saw a treasure dad chasing the nurse.

"Nurse, why haven't I heard of stamping children's footprints before?"

"Will this be bad for children? The child has just been born, let him contact these, what if it is harmful to the skin? "

"can you not cover it? Why haven't I seen other children do this? "

......

I just got promoted to be a father, and I have these nervous feelings and a strong sense of protecting my children. In fact, this is still worth appreciating.

There may be many people who have similar doubts. Why do you want to cover your children's footprints? The child's skin is so fragile and the resistance is still low. Will the pigment do harm to the child?

Now many hospitals have this procedure, and doctors may not take the initiative to explain it, which makes novice parents flustered but afraid to ask questions. There are still many functions about covering the footprints of newborns!

1. It is a symbol of identity

In fact, in a sense, the footprints of newborns have the same function as human fingerprints, which can be used to show our identity.

One of the reasons why the hospital left the baby's footprints is to "correct the baby's name". Usually, footprints will be left in the baby's birth certificate.

At this time, some friends may be puzzled. Since they can all represent identity, why not use the baby's fingerprint?

this is mainly because the newborn feels that it is not long after birth, and the small hand is still in the state of clenching fist, so it is not appropriate to break it forcibly.

Two years ago, a star took photos of her baby just after birth on Weibo, and was pointed out by Dr. Lilac that it was best not to forcibly break the baby's fingers.

Therefore, from this aspect, in order to ensure the safety of the baby, hospitals basically choose to leave the baby's footprints to show their identity.

2. Prevention of wrong hugs

In fact, newborns do not have obvious appearance characteristics. If they are not carefully distinguished, it is difficult to tell the difference between doctors and nurses, and even the children's real parents at once with the naked eye, and they are likely to hold their children by mistake.

at this time, the hospital will leave the baby's footprints, which can also play a certain role. Footprints can play a role if the children's parents are suspicious or uncertain at that time.

Don't take the hug problem lightly. After all, there are so many people in the hospital. Some of them may not be intentional, but some of them are intentional.

if some people really want to switch children, it is still very difficult without deliberate prevention! Therefore, leaving footprints for children is not a bad thing.

3. Witness of children's growth

You may have seen it in short videos or other places. Those parents not only cover their children's footprints in the hospital, but also want to leave some marks for their children's growth at home.

They framed their children's footprints as souvenirs, and some of them were made into calligraphy and painting. As long as they were imaginable and memorable, some people tried.

As for some parents, they are worried that their children's skin is fragile and damaged by pigments. In fact, there is no need to worry about this, although the child's skin layer is fragile and immature.
