What is an airplane hug? What should you pay attention to when you hug an airplane?

When mothers hold their babies in different situations, there will be different postures, such as cradle, hand support, airplane hold, etc. Airplane hold is one of the baby's favorite postures. When the baby cries, the mother holds the baby in this posture and the baby stops crying.

The airplane hold is actually a way of hugging, and its main function is to comfort the baby. Moreover, when the baby has flatulence or colic, the airplane hold can also be used to relieve the symptoms. When using the airplane hold, the child should lie on the arms of the parents, and the parents should hold the baby with both hands. Sometimes, when the child finishes feeding, the mother will also use this method to burp the milk.

1. Don't hold the baby right after feeding. If you don't grasp the timing right, airplane holding can easily cause the baby to spit up milk! Adults lie on their stomachs right after eating, and when they burp, it is easy for the food to turn up, not to mention babies! Try it at least half an hour after feeding. Airplane holding is mainly used for babies, and babies are prone to spitting up milk regardless of whether they are held in an airplane position or not. Airplane holding will definitely compress the stomach, which will make the spitting up more serious or more obvious for babies who are prone to spitting up milk.

2. Move more steadily. Flatulence often occurs in babies. As new parents, they are not yet skilled in holding babies, and it is even more difficult to operate the airplane hold. If the amplitude is large, or the baby is scared because it is not stable enough, the effect of the airplane hold will be greatly reduced! Therefore, the amplitude of the movement should not be too large or too violent. If the movement is too large, especially when the amplitude is large when the new parents are not very skilled in the airplane hold, it will cause vomiting. Just like when new parents change diapers for their babies, it will cause vomiting. If you look closely, you will find that when changing diapers, parents hold their children's legs very high!

3. Find a holding method that suits you. There are actually many ways to hold your baby in an airplane position. New parents can try them according to their own way of holding the baby and find which method is easier for you.

When holding a baby in the airplane position, you must open your arms to simulate the airplane taking off, and when the baby is upside down, it means the airplane is landing. If you hold the baby upside down for a while, the baby's face will turn red. Therefore, the overall posture is slightly angled, simulating the airplane climbing state, not diving.

Switching from the cradle or snuggle position to the airplane hold is simple:

1. Support the baby's head and neck with one hand, and pass the other hand through the baby's chest to support the baby's chest and abdomen, allowing the baby's body to lie on the forearm of this hand.

2. Use the hand that supports the baby's head to make sure that the baby's head is turned to the side and rests in the crook of your elbow. Keep your forearms together and let the baby's body lean against you to prevent the baby from rolling out.

3. The hand that originally protected the baby's head and neck can be used to gently pat the baby's back to comfort him.

It is not convenient to hold the baby in the airplane position right after feeding. If you hold the baby in the airplane position after the baby is full, the baby's stomach will feel uncomfortable, and babies who are prone to spitting up will make the spitting up worse. The best time is about half an hour after the baby has finished feeding, so mothers should pay attention.
