[NG Parenting Method 1/Is it best to stop breastfeeding when the baby has jaundice? ]

Eat enough and urinate enough, and jaundice will go away

There are two main reasons why breastfed babies develop jaundice. First, when the baby is just born, the mother's milk supply is less, and the baby's sucking ability is poor, so the amount of milk drunk is less and causes jaundice. Doctors say that mothers are encouraged to breastfeed more often. When the child eats enough and urinates enough, the jaundice will gradually decrease. Secondly, if the breastfed baby continues to have jaundice, it is because the ingredients in breast milk will interfere with the decrease of jaundice. Unless the jaundice value of the newborn is extremely high, or even close to the need for exchange transfusion treatment, it is recommended to stop breastfeeding for a few days. Otherwise, there is no need to stop breastfeeding because of jaundice in the baby.

[NG Parenting Method 2/Can you sleep better with the lights on? ]

uncertain!

Newborns cannot distinguish between day and night, so turning on the light while sleeping may not necessarily make them feel safe or sleep more soundly. However, it is recommended that parents turn on the light during the day and turn it off or turn on a low light at night to train their babies to distinguish between day and night and develop a regular day and night routine.

[NG Parenting Method 3/Wrap the whole body tightly so that it won’t be frightened? ]

Wrapping with a scarf gives you a sense of security

Babies born one or two months old will have a startle reflex. Swaddling their hands and body will make them feel safer and sleep more peacefully. However, some babies do not want to be swaddled after one month of age. Parents must decide based on the baby's condition. But in principle, the startle reflex will gradually disappear after more than two months of age, so it is not necessary to swaddle them. In addition, some parents are worried that their children will scratch their faces with their hands, so they swaddle them with gloves. In fact, you don't need to swaddle your child after he is one month old. Let him learn to explore this unfamiliar environment with his hands.

[NG Parenting Method 4/Is it helpful to let children learn to stand and walk early? ]

Unsteady or unable to stand

When children are still learning to crawl, some parents are eager to let them learn to stand and walk. Or when children have developed to the stage of learning to stand and walk, parents think that crawling more can stimulate sensory integration and force their children to crawl. In this regard, doctors emphasize that children are independent individuals and should be given appropriate training and learning according to their development at each stage. If the development has not yet reached the stage of walking, even if parents ask their children to stand, due to the weak legs, they are likely to be unstable or even unable to stand.
