9 bad habits of mother-in-law when raising children. See if your mother-in-law has any of them

A few days ago, a mother complained to Xiao Cheese about the various weird ways her mother-in-law takes care of her baby. To be honest, although mothers-in-law have some experience in taking care of babies, they still have many outdated concepts and ideas. For example: if the baby cries, it must be because the baby is not full. When it comes to the matter of mothers-in-law taking care of babies, every mother is crazy, and may have thought about the scene of competing with her mother-in-law countless times in her heart. But because of the existence of her husband, she is helpless, helpless, helpless! Today I will take stock of the 9 bad habits of mothers-in-law taking care of babies, and see if your mother-in-law is among them?

9 bad habits of mother-in-law when raising children

1. Mouth-to-mouth feeding

Many mothers-in-law are worried that their babies will not be able to chew and digest the food when feeding them, so they always chew the food themselves before feeding it to the baby. (It makes me sick just thinking about it~).

This feeding method is very unhygienic! It can easily cause diarrhea in babies; it is also not conducive to training the baby's chewing and swallowing abilities, and it can easily develop bad habits of picky eating and partial eating in the future.

2. Chase the baby to feed

The elderly are very distressed about their grandchildren. This is understandable, but if the baby doesn't eat well every time, and the old man chases the baby around to feed him, when will the bad habit of the baby not eating be changed?

Chasing after the baby to feed him or her can make the baby develop bad habits of being picky eaters, not eating well, and having anorexia. If the child refuses to eat, do not force him or her to feed. It is better to be hungry than to be full. This way, the baby will easily develop the habit of eating well.

3. Add salt to complementary food and sugar to boiled water

I believe that many families' babies don't eat when it's time to eat. They don't drink plain water every time they drink water. Mothers-in-law think of ways to add salt to the baby's food, sugar, juice, etc. to the water. Anyway, mothers-in-law think that these things are fine for the baby. If the daughter-in-law complains about this, the mother-in-law will refute you with one sentence: "This is not a bad thing. There are so many things that cannot be eaten."

Although adding salt to baby's food and sugar to baby's water will not cause any problems for the time being, doing so for a long time will easily lead to the baby not wanting to eat tasteless food; eating salt too early will also increase the burden on the child's kidneys.

4. Give your baby alcohol

I don't know if you have ever experienced such a scene: when someone comes to your house for dinner, when your baby's grandfather clinks glasses with relatives and friends, he dips a little wine with chopsticks for his grandson/granddaughter next to him and lets the baby drink. They call it: you should train your baby to drink alcohol from an early age! Not to mention children who haven't grown up yet, even adults who drink too much alcohol will affect brain cells. What's more, what about children who haven't grown up yet? Moreover, alcohol will increase the burden on the baby's liver and irritate the gastrointestinal tract. It is simply a behavior that does more harm than good.

5. Give your baby random food

The grandson of Zhang San's family next door is taking calcium supplements recently, and the grandmother came back to give the baby supplements after hearing about it; the baby of Li Si's family next door caught a cold, and after hearing about the folk remedy for the cold, the grandmother also came back with a folk remedy for the baby.

In fact, some calcium and iron supplements can be eaten, but they must be supplemented reasonably according to the baby's condition. Don't feed your baby the same thing as others. Don't believe in folk remedies. If the baby is sick, he has to go to a regular hospital for treatment.

6. Worried about the baby being cold, so I put on one piece of clothing after another

Winter is here, and when the temperature drops a little, my baby is dressed in three layers of clothes, like a big dumpling. There is a kind of cold that makes grandma feel cold. In fact, babies have a more vigorous metabolism than adults, and their body temperature regulation center is not fully developed. If they wear too much, it is easy to cause the body temperature to rise and sweat, which makes them more likely to catch a cold. If they do not change clothes in time, they are more likely to catch a cold.

7. Change your baby’s poop and pee

In order to save money, many mothers-in-law do not wear diapers for their babies, and they change the baby's poop and pee every day. Sometimes the baby accidentally poops and pee on the clothes. The final result is that the baby's clothes, pants, and bed sheets have to be changed more than ten times a day, which is not worry-free at all.

Not to mention the trouble it causes, the baby's urethral sphincter and anal sphincter will not be fully developed until around 3 years old. Before that, they are not able to fully control urination and defecation. Doing this frequently not only wastes time and energy, but also causes psychological harm to the baby.

8. If your baby has a cold, he needs to sweat to get better.

This is a very common phenomenon. When the baby has a fever and is sleeping, the mother-in-law will cover the baby with several quilts to make him sweat and reduce the fever.

The baby has a high fever and the heat in the body cannot be dissipated, so it is easier for the body temperature to rise through sweating.

9. Kiss your baby mouth to mouth

The baby is cute and lovable, and my mother-in-law loves to kiss him. When I bring him to my relatives' house, my mother-in-law doesn't stop others from kissing him, and thinks it's nothing.

Experts say: Strangers should not kiss babies casually because their immunity and resistance are very weak. Babies may not be immune to the bacteria and viruses that adults are immune to. If a stranger kisses a baby, it is very likely that the bacteria and viruses in the adult's mouth will be transmitted to the baby.
