You have heard it as many times as I have
"My child started walking before crawling"
First of all, let's get rid of the first known mistakes.
Crawling does not mean that the child is developing late or falling behind his peers. On the contrary, it means a healthy development.
Crawling is effective in strengthening the leg muscles. Of course, some children never crawl. This does not mean that they have developmental problems either.
Some children learn to crawl much later than walking.
Let your child go free.
Let him experience every stage. The baby's waist and arm muscles develop before the leg muscles.
He tries to move by turning left and right. Learns to roll over on his stomach or back. Meanwhile, arm and waist muscles develop.
Over time, the crawling phase begins. Thus, leg muscles become stronger. He starts to hold on to places, get up, and take steps.
Do not lift the chairs or coffee tables. Don't be afraid of falling. Gradually, all the objects around him will become a source of discovery.
Understanding them, making sense of them, and discovering them will become fun. Don't put things away, don't discourage them. Give it a chance.
This way, it will learn to hold on to things and get up. Despite this, it takes some babies months to wander around holding on to objects.
Because they cannot muster up the courage.
“My child did not breastfeed much milk. He switched to complementary foods early and now he eats everything.”
Breast milk has endless benefits.
A baby who is breastfed does not need complementary foods. The sooner the baby starts breastfeeding, the sooner the breast milk will come.
The baby's breastfeeding strengthens the immune system.
Intelligence is extremely important for development.
"The pacifier becomes thirsty when you give it"
The pacifier has many beneficial as well as harmful aspects.
The pacifier strengthens the sucking reflex. It provides temporary consolation.
It has been supported by research that it prevents sudden infant deaths.
Unless the baby becomes dependent on the pacifier...
The baby's dependence on the pacifier is breast milk. It may cause the child to leave the pacifier early.
He may become a baby who becomes silent when the pacifier is given and makes a fuss when the pacifier falls out.
Long-term pacifier use may also cause dental problems. It may increase middle ear infection.
“Wheeled toys are harmful, they fall and cause damage.”
On the contrary! Wheeled toys are important for muscle development.
They strengthen arm and leg muscles by pushing them back and forth. As the muscles become stronger, your child's courage will increase.
Now that he has learned that he can carry his own weight, he will take steps to walk and begin to explore the world.
” If your child has not started walking yet Get a walker. It is good for you”
Leave these superstitions!! Releasing the baby affects its development more quickly.
The walker causes pauses and interruptions during natural walking periods (reflexive period).
- Spine curves may be seen.
- Foot deformities may occur.
- Hip problems may occur as the load on the hip will be greater.
- The habit of not standing fully on the ground and stepping on tiptoe may develop.
- Anyway, he is on his own because he is in a walker. Babies left alone may be exposed to dangerous accidents at home (things falling over on top of them, rolling down the stairs, etc.) p>This time he always wants a hug.”
With this justification, if the mother raises her child far away from herself, the baby's greatest need for a hug is not met. And he grows up as an individual who is hungry for attention.
He looks for attention outside, or different psychological problems develop along with it.
" When he turns forty, the child is salted so that he does not get a diaper rash and his sweat does not smell in the future."
Salting the baby may have fatal consequences. The custom of salting the newborn baby, which is still widely used in Anatolia, is an outdated practice that is extremely dangerous and can have fatal consequences, and should never be done.
If you want to raise your child correctly and healthily, close your ears to what your neighbors say. There are good books.
