After birth, babies need a comfortable and quiet environment to promote their healthy development and growth. But sometimes there may be noise or strange noises, which can easily startle the baby. Moreover, babies who are frightened often do not breastfeed properly and frequently cry. So, how to treat babies who are frightened?
1. When a baby is frightened, special treatment is generally not necessary. However, if the baby is severely frightened, does not breastfeed, or continues to cry abnormally, sedatives can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. But it is generally recommended not to take medication.
2. When a baby is frightened, as a mother, the first thing to do is to pick up the baby and use gentle tapping and caressing to comfort them. This way, through physical communication with the mother, it will significantly increase the baby's sense of security.
3. While engaging in physical communication, caressing and soothing, the mother should also talk more to the baby. Although babies may not understand at times, speaking can also make them feel that their mother is protecting them physiologically, which can quickly calm down their frightened emotions.
4. When a frightened baby is sleeping, the mother should try to accompany them as much as possible. This way, if the baby cries, they can be comforted in a timely manner, and the frightened baby can also sleep peacefully.
