Just born child adapts to the world, new to it, not at once. In total a few days ago it was absolutely protected from all external influences. The nature providently allocated it with the features of the building allowing to move more or less freely from the closed space to the big world. Out of a maternal womb these features are not really convenient for life, but the kid leaves them not at once. Therefore and it is necessary to take him carefully, following some rules.
Instruction
1. The kid of the first month of life cannot hold a head yet. Cervical and humeral muscles at it weak. Therefore do not assume that the head dangled or thrown back. Otherwise the child can suffer a serious injury. If you need to take the baby from a bed where he lies on a back, bring one hand under the head, having taken a neck and shoulders. Bring the second hand under buttocks and so that on your palm there was also a waist. Accurately lift the kid. Your movements have to be quiet and smooth, but at the same time sure. Sharply it is impossible to pull the newborn.
2. Many young fathers look forward to the moment when it is possible to throw up the kid, to turn it, having taken by hands , etc. With it it is necessary to wait to the moment until the child a little gets stronger. The newborn cannot be taken for handles. His joints still insufficiently strong, it is possible to dislocate an elbow or even a shoulder inadvertently. It is not recommended to throw too until muscles of a neck enough get stronger. By the way, by the time of when the child learns to hold the head, he will be able already to derive pleasure that it is bothered and thrown.
3. If you need to keep the child facedown (for example, during a podmyvaniye under the crane), put him to yourself on a hand. The head has to be on a bend of an elbow of the left hand (or right if you the lefthander). The second hand wash away the kid.
4. It is pleasant to some babies when they are carried facedown. In this case the head just as at a podmyvaniye, lies on a bend of an elbow of the right or left hand. The stomach and a breast of the kid are on your forearm. Hold with a hand the kid for a back, is closer to a waist. Carry out the second hand between legs and you hold the newborn by a tummy.
5. In the first days try to avoid to hold the baby vertically. But sometimes it happens it is necessary In this case support by one hand the head, a back and shoulders, and another — buttocks and a waist. Do not squeeze a thorax. You hold the kid facing yourself or a nape, but not sideways at all. Refrain from putting the baby to themselves on a forearm, having developed his torso aside. The newborn's bones still soft, and if constantly to give to a body the wrong situation, they can be bent.
