What is the correct vertical hold position?
The correct vertical hug posture is to support the baby’s head with one hand and the buttocks with the other hand to make the baby’s legs slightly bend; or place the baby’s upper body against the adult’s chest and hold it with the other hand For the baby’s neck, you can also put the baby’s head on the mother’s shoulder, so that the baby can see a lot of things around and it is not easy to cry. In addition to allowing the baby to have a better vision, it is also convenient for mothers to burp and relieve the symptoms of vomiting or gastroesophageal reflux. The cross cycle of holding, lying down, and lying on the tummy allows parents to get a little rest and also meet the needs of the baby to be held and play with. You must pay attention to the time when you hold your baby upright within three months. When the baby is full, pat and hiccup, hold it vertically for ten minutes is enough. After is three months old, the baby can put his head up 90° in the prone position and support it for a while, and then the vertical hold time can be gradually extended. At this time, you can let the baby lie down for a while every day, which is not only beneficial to the muscle development of the lower back, but also promotes the coordinated movement of the whole body muscles. Babies always raise their heads when lying on their stomachs, and they can exercise their neck muscles. As the baby's age increases, the weight is also increasing, and it becomes difficult for Baoma to hold it vertically. Regardless of the holding position, holding for a long time is a burden to the baby and the parents. If you go out, Bao Ma may wish to use a stroller. But in order to protect the baby's spine, the stroller should choose lying down before learning to sit firmly. Even if the requirements cannot be met, at least ensure that the bevel angle does not exceed 30 degrees, and try to control the baby's time on the stroller. When the baby learns to control his head, he can use a waist stool or a sling at this time. When the baby sits in the sling, make sure that the knees are bent and are in an 'M' shape. When using the waist stool alone, supporting your baby's back with your hands is actually protecting your baby's lumbar spine. When the baby sits facing outside, make sure that the baby's lower back is close to the parents, the thighs and the back are at right angles, and the knees are naturally bent and relaxed.
