As we all know, babies have a strong ability to imitate, which can be reflected from the beginning of their speech. Parents' behavior in front of their babies directly affects them, so it is important to maintain a happy and healthy atmosphere at home and let them learn some good things. Some parents like to make facial expressions to play with their babies. When the babies find it fun, they will learn from their parents. Sometimes, when they look in the mirror, they frown and squint at themselves. Is this okay? Let's take a look with the editor:
Is there a problem with babies wrinkling their noses, squinting their eyes, and laughing
It's not a problem for babies to frown, squint their eyes, and laugh. They must have made this expression because they saw someone at home doing it and imitated it. When babies were young, their imitation ability was very strong, and they thought it was fun. They were entertaining themselves, or maybe they intentionally made funny faces to make you laugh.
What does a baby's rich facial expressions indicate
1. A grin indicates excitement and joy
Two months later, the baby likes the mother's caresses and the father's teasing. When the baby is satisfied, comfortable, and safe, they will smile and their eyes will light up, excitedly and vigorously dancing their small hands and feet.
You should know that a baby's smile is excellent for their physical and mental development, so when the baby smiles, the mother must not be stingy with her own smile. Your response full of maternal radiance will definitely make the baby feel more at ease and smile more brightly. If you can also gently touch or kiss the baby's cheek at the same time, it can make the baby feel more happy.
2. Playing with the tongue and spitting out indicates having eaten and drunk enough
Most babies enjoy playing with their lips and tongue, either by popping bubbles or sucking on their fingers, even after they have eaten and drunk enough, changed into clean diapers, and haven't fallen asleep yet. At this point, the mother should be a quiet goddess, not disturb the baby, and let the baby enjoy themselves.
3. Pouting and expressing grievances as a gesture of demand
The baby pouts, as if feeling wronged, which is a precursor to crying, followed by a low to loud cry. This expression and cry are actually expressing their needs to adults. If you're not hungry and need to breastfeed, lonely and need someone to accompany you, or tired of a certain posture and want adults to pick you up and change the environment and posture. for instance:
(1) Purging and grinning are signals for urination
Male infants usually pout to indicate that they want to urinate, while female infants often grin or tightly close their upper and lower lips to indicate that they want to urinate.
(2) Eyebrow protrusion is a signal of bowel movements
When a baby wants to defecate, it usually starts with bulging brow muscles, followed by facial redness, dull eyes, and obvious "urgency" reactions. So when the baby shows these two reactions, parents should understand the signs and let the baby check and change diapers in a timely and convenient manner.
Parents need to discover what their babies need in their every move, and see whether their expressions are happy or unhappy. Such lively and active babies should be very popular. They have known from a young age to frown and squint their eyes, and they will definitely be a little happy fruit when they grow up. If parents think it's not good for their baby to behave like this, then they don't need to pay attention to the baby and let him feel bored. The baby won't make such expressions anymore.
