Babies eat everything they touch? May be the oral period, parents should pay attention to these three points
After birth, children are in the stage of learning everything. Therefore, when they perceive the things around them with their mouths, they are not alert to many dangerous goods and things. They often pick up anything and put it in their mouths.
The first is because the child does not know that these things after eating, will be bad for the health. The second is because the child does not know his hands are dirty, there are a lot of bacteria, after eating something will loose bowels. The third is that the child has entered the oral stage. However, these behaviors can cause headaches for many parents.
Parents are there for their children, but sometimes their children will put things in their mouths too quickly for parents to stop them.
Some time ago, there was a child because of eating coins, parents sent to the hospital for surgery, after the coins out, the child was officially out of danger.
We all know that children’s hands like to touch, explore, and put things in their mouths.
Even if the parents try to prevent and teach, the children will only listen to the parents for a short time, and then start to eat freely.
In fact, children eat freely, the most important reason is the third reason above – oral period.
There are five stages in a child’s life: the oral stage, the anal stage, the genital stage, the latent stage and the reproductive stage.
Oral craving is when children explore food with taste and chewing, and they tend to put whatever they can in their mouths.
Anal phase: When the child needs to learn proper toilet position and toilet habits.
Sexual stage: refers to the time when secondary sexual characteristics begin to develop after the child reaches puberty.
Incubation period: The period when the child suppresses the hormones of puberty and controls desire.
Reproductive age: refers to the age when children come of age, enter the social work and begin to conceive the next generation.
No matter what stage the child is in, parents should conform to the child’s development situation, not against the trend and prevent the baby from exploring the world in its own way.
Because once the parents intervene to deprive the child’s behavior, the child will choose to vent in another extreme abnormal way, which is likely to lead to the child’s bad personality and bad habits.
As the first developmental stage of the baby’s oral period, it is even more so.
Babies in the oral stage use their mouth as a means and skill to explore the world. They feel the happiness of the world through taste, chewing and swallowing.
They get their first taste of something other than milk and breast milk, and the acquisition of these tastes makes the baby feel very fulfilled and very happy. Therefore, they will continue to open new challenges and try new things in each attempt, and their desire to explore is increasingly multiplied.
When the baby enters the oral period, what is the right way for parents to do?
First, parents should learn to respect their children.
When babies like to use their mouths to feel the things around them, mothers can prevent their children from eating things that shouldn’t be eaten, but do not harshly stop children, but to learn to respect their children. Mom and dad can also give the child to do a variety of different flavors of complementary food, let the baby feel happy to eat.
In addition, you can also buy some small toys to help the baby through the oral period, such as: gum sticks and so on, not only can relieve the baby’s desire to chew, but also can let the child let go to try, to ensure the safety of the baby.
Secondly, ensure the hygiene of children’s related items.
After the child enters the oral period, like biting toys, clothes, cloth, etc., for these items, mom and dad should pay attention to timely cleaning, often disinfection.
Here we should pay attention to, do not figure easy, use wet tissues to wipe these items, because this can not completely and effectively eliminate bacteria, but will lead to the accumulation of bacteria, and then into the baby’s mouth, endanger the baby’s life safety. After washing baby supplies, it is best to use natural exposure to dry.
Finally, keep things safe.
When it comes to keeping things safe, pay particular attention to items that babies can easily reach and put in their mouths, such as chains, coins, beads, etc. It is best for mothers to keep these items high up, out of reach of their babies.
In addition to these mentioned, there is another essential, that is the attention of the family.
No parent’s best preparation can beat the unexpected hand and mouth of a child, because there is no way for mom or dad to be prepared in advance when taking a child outside.
Therefore, parents must ensure that their children in their line of sight, while learning the baby swallowed the bad things after the emergency treatment. Only in this way, to the greatest extent to ensure that the baby successfully through the oral period.
