The baby rolled over and fell off the bed accidentally in the early morning. The mother’s reaction was commendable. How can parents prevent the baby from falling out of the bed?

In Maoming, Guangdong, a baby accidentally fell off the bed when he rolled over in the early morning. The mother sleeping next to her was suddenly awakened and jumped up as a reflex. She quickly got out of bed to pick up the baby and comfort her.

The mother’s reaction was commendable and sparked heated discussions among netizens:

“The call of love!”

“Mother and child are connected!”

"Hearing all directions, being a mother is strong!"

"The only martial arts in the world that can't be broken is fast!"

.........

Netizens are too So cute! Unexpectedly, the baby just fell out of bed, but it attracted such a variety of praises from netizens, and once again lamented our profound Chinese culture.

Maybe some people don’t understand. Isn’t it normal and common for a mother to react like this when her baby falls out of bed? How could it rise to the level of maternal love again?

I think only a mother can understand the sadness behind a baby falling out of bed.

The reason why babies fall out of bed reflects two problems: First, the baby must not "behave himself" when sleeping; second, if a baby does not "behave himself" when sleeping, there must be a baby next to him who cannot be "peacefully". Mom who sleeps well.

I believe that this mother’s reaction is also the reaction of thousands of our mothers.

Ever since a woman gave birth to a baby and became a mother, she no longer knows what it feels like to sleep all night. At the end of the night, I either wake up frequently to cover my baby with a quilt, or worry about whether the baby will fall out of bed. In short, I am worried about everything and cannot sleep peacefully.

Some mothers said that this kind of "staying up late" is more painful than staying up late to review for the college entrance examination, because at least they can interrupt it at any time, but once the late night with the baby starts, the mothers can't help it, and the consequences will be in the long run. It is difficult to fall asleep when sleep is disrupted, especially when the time to sleep is suddenly freed up, which makes people not feel sleepy at all.

A mother takes care of her baby at irregular times during the day, and at night she is either worried about her baby kicking off the quilt or afraid of her baby falling out of bed. She cannot sleep well at all, which is simply exercising her mother's ability to stay up late.

Everyone knows that staying up late is very harmful to the body, so mothers’ hair has fallen out in large quantities due to staying up late, and they have also become haggard. This is probably how the yellow-faced women suffered.

Basically every baby has fallen out of bed at one time or another. Parents are always particularly worried about their baby falling out of bed and will be overly nervous and pick up the baby from the ground without hesitation.

This instinctive approach is made from the perspective of a parent and is not difficult to understand. However, if you do not understand how to deal with some baby injuries and destroy the on-site data too anxiously, it may cause secondary injuries to the baby.

Because the baby falling out of the bed may cause varying degrees of injury, the lighter ones may be skin abrasions or soft tissue injuries; the more severe ones may cause fractures, injuries to the facial features, etc., and severe ones may even cause cranial injuries. Brain damage.

It can be said that the above-mentioned mother's approach of picking up the baby immediately after falling out of the bed is inappropriate. If the baby is not injured after falling out of the bed but is frightened, the mother's pick-up in this way can indeed comfort her. to the baby. On the contrary, if the baby is injured and the mother picks it up immediately, it will cause secondary injury to the baby.

So, what should parents do if their baby falls out of bed?

First of all, do not pick up the baby immediately. Be sure to wait and see for 10 seconds. Observe whether there are any injured parts on the baby's body. If bleeding is found, apply pressure to stop the bleeding immediately and take the baby to the hospital for timely treatment.

Secondly, if you find that the baby is not injured, encourage the baby to move on his own and observe whether there is any movement disorder. If you find that there is such a situation, you must pay attention to protection to avoid aggravating the injury when hugging the baby.

After observation and confirmation that the baby is not injured or has any movement disorders, you can pick it up and coax it until the baby stops crying. And while coaxing, you should observe whether the baby has other abnormalities, such as drowsiness, screaming, spitting up, abnormal movements, etc.

If it occurs or is suspected, you should be sent to the hospital for examination. If you are conscious, behave normally, and still have no abnormal symptoms after 24 hours, injury is basically ruled out.

Parents certainly don’t want similar tragedies to happen to their babies, but some accidents are impossible to prevent. Babies will have accidents within two or three seconds when parents are not paying attention. Or the moment you turn around, the baby will fall to the ground with a "pop" behind you.

Therefore, parents will try their best to prevent their babies from falling out of bed. However, some mothers said that in order to prevent the baby from falling out of bed at night, she and the baby's father took control of one side of the bed and surrounded the baby in the middle of the bed. However, after they fell asleep, the baby would "climb" through the gap between their legs and feet. At the end of the bed, it fell to the ground.

If there is such an active baby at home, it really gives parents a headache, especially after the baby can roll over and crawl, it increases the risk of falling out of bed, so adults have to be careful all the time. Stare. It seems that if you want to prevent your baby from falling out of bed, parents can only do more careful prevention work!

I have two babies. The eldest baby has been relatively well-behaved since he was a child and sleeps very quietly at night. The first time he fell out of bed was when he could roll over. It was the first time I encountered such a situation and I was a little at a loss, so I hugged Dabao and cried together.

While I was crying, I checked that there was no abnormality in the child. To be on the safe side, I took the child to see a doctor. The doctor said that it was fine. The stone hanging in my heart fell to the ground. For the first time, I was glad that I had done that. I bought the short bed when I bought the bed.

After the second baby was born and could roll over and crawl, I took various protective measures to prevent him from falling out of bed. I heard a "thud" sound when the second baby fell from the bed to the protective mat on the floor. At that time, I also faced it calmly. It really brought out experience with the first baby, and there was no such fuss with the second baby.

I raised both children by myself. Over the past ten years, I have really demonstrated the concept of "raising the first child according to the book, and the second child according to the pigs". I dare not say that I have rich parenting experience, at least Better than new parents.

The following 4 protective measures to prevent children from falling out of bed have been personally verified by me and have good results. I would like to share them with new parents in need.

(1) Install protective fences. When the baby grows up, he will not want to play in a small space, and will usually play more in the parents' bed or in the living room. Therefore, it is necessary to install protective rails on the adult's bed to prevent the baby from falling off the bed when sleeping at night.

However, parents cannot be 100% assured when using protective fences, because the baby may get stuck in the gap and suffocate. Therefore, when parents install protective fences, they must not leave gaps and fill them with soft materials. The baby will pull them out on their own, leaving hidden dangers.

This is also the reason why many parents are reluctant to install protective fences. Not only is the price expensive, but there are also safety risks.

(2) Install anti-falling mosquito nets. This mosquito net is very useful. When the baby sleeps in it, the mother will feel at ease. It not only prevents the baby from being bitten by mosquitoes, but also prevents the baby from falling off the bed and getting hurt, because the baby will fall into the mosquito net and will not fall directly to the ground and get hurt.

When Dabao was little, I installed a mosquito net to prevent him from falling out of bed. I remember one time I woke up in the middle of the night and found that Dabao had "missed". Later I discovered that Dabao had fallen out of bed again, directly on the mosquito net. Here, I still slept soundly, which made me so happy in the middle of the night.

If parents don’t want to install a protective fence, they can consider installing an anti-falling mosquito net. I think this is really 100% safe and not expensive.

(3) Lay mats on the floor. Regardless of whether the protective rails and anti-falling mosquito nets are installed, it does not affect the placement of a floor mat on the floor, which can play a double protective role. With the cushioning of the mat, if the baby accidentally falls, it will not hurt and can be used as much as possible. Reduce harm to the baby as much as possible.

My second child is particularly unruly when sleeping at night. There are no mosquitoes in winter, so I didn’t install a mosquito net to prevent the bed from falling off. However, I laid floor mats around the bed. One time, he turned over and fell directly from the bed. The bed fell down and fell to the floor mat with a "thud", but he didn't cry or fuss, he got up and went to bed again. In fact, I woke up when Erbao turned over, but I didn't have time to catch him.

(4) Change the position of the bed. This should be what most families do, which is to place one side of the bed against the wall, with the adults sleeping on the other side of the bed, and the end of the bed blocked with a quilt, which can also play a protective role.

However, if you encounter an active baby, there is still a risk of falling out of bed, so you can install an anti-falling mosquito net or lay a thick mat on the ground to take triple protection measures to ensure the safety of your child. convoy.

In short, no matter which protective measure is chosen, parents should not keep their children away from their sight for too long to avoid accidents.

Who’s child didn’t fall out of bed several times when he was a child? People of the older generation may think that we young parents are too pretentious and take care of a child like a "porcelain doll". In the past, who didn't raise three or four children? If they were so meticulous, parents would not be able to do anything. .

Today is different from the past. Although it is relatively common for children to fall out of bed, falling out of bed still poses a high threat to children's health, especially if the child accidentally falls out of bed and hits his head. , which is likely to cause intracranial injury to the child and affect the baby's normal brain development.

Therefore, take protective measures in advance to nip problems in the bud. There is never the word "easy" on the road to raising a baby.
