5 myths about infant

You in the house has a new family member. He almost constantly asleep, gathering strength for the future of great accomplishments. And I see you smiling and having fun agukaet. But often, parents are at a loss. For example, the room is warm, and the baby hiccups like the cold. Why is that? How to understand the normal state for infants, and a - sign of the disease? In infants, their only his inherent physiological features. But parents often panic, believing certain myths about the newborn.

1. Kid constantly crying constantly - so he is sick.

Creek and tears - the only way to draw attention to themselves. So suckling   is trying to "say" that he was cold or hot, he wants to eat. In addition, infants easily frightened: their nervous system is still imperfect and easily irritable.

2. A newborn son or daughter enlarged breasts - it's pathology.

In fact, it is quite normal, just like spotting on the diaper   newborn   girl. The fact that the mother during pregnancy increases estrogen hormone production, which falls through the blood and into the fetus. This estrogen is guilty of so unusual, "adult" forms.

3. If you touch a pulsating fontanel on the head of the baby, it will hurt.

Fontanelle - a soft spot on the baby's head. At the moment of birth during passage through the birth canal, the bones of the skull, freely interconnected as to add up. With this infant brain is protected from any damage. Fully bones of the skull fuse only after 1 year. Fontanelles precisely located in incomplete fusion of bones, they are covered with a dense protective bolochkoy, but, because it is soft, it can be seen on the veins and arteries.

Infant it does not hurt when you touch the fontanelle, but some caution still must be followed

4. He always hiccups - it means freezing.

Doctors still have not figured out the exact cause of newborn hiccups. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the connection between the brain and the diaphragm is still immature, nesformirovavshayasya.Priroda conceived as the diaphragm muscle partition that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal and regulates breathing. But in any case the hiccup is harmless to the baby.

In fact, it may be an optical effect: bridge neonatal wide, and the eyes are "planted" is very close. But it so happens that from time to time the eyes of the child, as it were, "are leaving" in different directions, sometimes together sometimes alone. Afraid this is not necessary - the eye muscles have not yet been heard by his master, he is too small to manage the delicate movements of the eyeballs. By six months, it goes without a trace.
