Parents want the best for their children, but there are times when they simply forget that there are some things they can do for the health of their little ones. If you are a father or mother, surely when you think your child is sick you take him to the doctor, if he is hungry you feed him, bathe him every one or two days, protect him both physically and emotionally and guide him … But, do you also do what we tell you here?
These are things that you may not have thought are beneficial for your children, but that from now on, you will undoubtedly try to do them. They are not actions that feel like intrusive, far from it and you will improve your baby’s health almost without realizing it.
Reflexology
The Reflexology helps to relieve stress. Babies can also experience stress for many reasons, such as when they do not understand what is happening to them or feel that their reference adults are not responding quickly. Rubbing the feet or hands of babies is something that almost all mothers do. Babies respond to reflexology and it relaxes them, so foot reflexology is always a good idea.
To caress
Cuddling is the best sweet for the soul for people of any age, but especially babies. Children who are caressed as infants have better mental health than those who did not (and then are not able to make strong connections with others).
Massages
Who doesn’t like a good massage? Well children like it too… it relieves stress in adults but also achieves this effect in babies and young children. In addition, by doing a massage, babies feel safer when in contact with their parents, and they also feel relief from physical problems such as gas or constipation. To massage a baby you will have to slowly rub the body from the feet to the hands while lying on his back, then do the same while the baby is on his stomach. While you are massaging your baby, talk to her and repeat the process as many times as you want.
White noise and vibrations
Vibrations are proven to be a good way to calm a baby when he is crying. The white noise has a similar effect to natural vibrations and help babies to sleep. This is so because the sounds that are static are similar to the body noises of the mother that the child received when he was inside the womb.
Baking soda for bites
When mosquitoes or any other insect that bites arrive , they can be really annoying, especially for the little ones in the house. But you can make a natural paste out of baking soda and water to relieve pain and itching. The alkaline baking soda neutralizes and soothes the most acidic bites.
You just have to mix a tablespoon of baking soda in water, and you create a paste to apply on the skin. Let it act and then remove the excess with a cotton ball soaked in warm water.
Hug to calm
A baby needs hugs to calm down, he needs to feel your body and your love. What you do not need is to eat if you are not hungry. There are parents who when babies cry they automatically feed them, but in reality they do not always have this need. That is why it is important that parents get to know their children and know what they are saying to them through crying. Also, overfeeding your baby can make her overweight. If your baby cries, she may be sleepy, have poop, feel unwell or just want to play.
