Surely every mother, while still pregnant, more than once listened to the absurd instructions of her mother or mother-in-law about her pregnancy. And after the birth of the baby, everything only worsened. Our newly minted grandmothers just want to make their “right” contribution to raising a child, thereby spoiling both the child and relations with their children. And you can’t argue with them, you just hear: “I’m experienced, I’ve lived my life!”, “In our time, they did just that!” Well, how can a young mother find harmony when a bunch of “smart” advisers are around? How can I be calm and not break? Probably worth giving to read this article to ALL grandmothers!
To your attention the most absurd harmful advice that has long been refuted by all possible experts:
1. "The diaper is evil!"
Grandmothers, calm down you already! Diaper - this is not an interchangeable thing that you could come up with! Mommy no longer needs to get up 10 times a night and change diapers, and the baby has prickly heat without any diapers.
2. "The child must be swaddled, and even better - pull the legs tight, so that even grows."
Well, if the grandmother does not mind the child pull the legs, then why be surprised if the baby is soon to be diagnosed with "hip dysplasia." Here you have straight legs ...
3. “Do not kiss the child on the lips! Talking starts late! ”
In fact, the child really should not be kissed on the lips, all the same, the microbes fall. And the child will start talking when he himself is ready for this.
4. "Before each feeding, my breasts with soap!"
Yeah, and then mom suffers with cracks in the nipples. It is enough 1-2 times a day to wash your breasts with plain water. Soap dries and irritates delicate nipples.
5. “By the year a child needs to be shaved on his bald head so that his thick hair grows!”
If the child’s parents do not have thick hair, then let him shave at least 20 times, this does not improve the quality of the hair. The density of hair is completely dependent on genetics. (read on the topic: cutting a child in a year - a necessity or tradition)
6. "The child must be bathed in hot water, otherwise he will catch a cold."
Well, not immediately boiling water? And then they wonder why the baby is afraid to swim, and cries all the time in the bath?
7. “We need to lick a child’s forehead every day - so as not to jinx it!”
Well, at least a forehead ... which they just won’t come up with! All superstition is an invention of lonely grandmothers who sit on benches and have nothing to do ...
8. "If the eyes are festering, rinse with breast milk."
And then the child’s general conjunctivitis begins. In this case, only the doctor with the prescribed medicine will help.
9. “A baby needs a pillow from birth”
In general, a pillow for an infant, especially for a newborn, is a dangerous thing! He can bury herself in it and suffocate. No pillows are needed for a child under two years of age; they interfere with the formation of the cervical vertebrae.
ten.“You can’t show a child in the first month of life!”
This is from the same opera about the "evil eye." It’s better not to bring a lot of people, of course, all the same microbes can bring different.
And this is only a small part of all grandmother's instructions! But many mothers strictly follow each advice, trusting grannies. and some just try not to spoil their relationship, listening to every such nonsense. Sad, right? But this is the health of our children! Grandmother, change your mind! In the courtyard of the 21st century!
