How to comfort a baby after falling1

  Firstly, it is essential to help the baby up in a timely manner. Some parents believe that babies should get up from where they fall, so they should let their babies stand up on their own. This approach is actually completely wrong. Most falls of babies are not intentional, but rather caused by their weak physical coordination ability. If the baby is not helped up in time, it may dampen their enthusiasm for learning to walk.

  Secondly, shift the baby's attention. When a baby falls, they may be frightened. Therefore, parents should shift their baby's attention and reduce fright after helping them up. The elderly will use the method of pulling the baby's ear to summon souls. Although there is a superstitious element involved, pulling the ears can indeed divert the baby's attention.

  Also, it is important to promptly handle external injuries. Baby's skin is delicate, and after falling, it is easy for external injuries to occur. Although babies' skin has a strong self-healing ability and their wounds heal quickly, parents still need to promptly treat their babies' wounds to avoid infection. If there is severe redness, swelling, and pain, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner. If a fracture occurs and treatment is delayed, it may leave sequelae for the baby.
