Babies are different from adults, as sleep accounts for a significant portion of their daily routine. Good sleep is crucial for the health of infants, and sleeping posture is also inseparable. Some mothers always feel that the baby's leg posture is incorrect when the baby is sleeping, and will deliberately manipulate it. Let's learn about the correct leg posture when the baby is sleeping.
When the baby is sleeping, the mother tries to keep the baby lying on their back as much as possible. Because this posture not only benefits the symmetrical development of the baby's head shape and facial organs, but also maximizes the relaxation of the baby's muscles. And it will not cause compression on the baby's heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and other organs. When a baby is lying on their back, it is best to naturally stretch their legs. As long as the baby is comfortable, the mother should not deliberately interfere with the baby's leg posture.
Some elderly people, while taking care of babies, may use ropes to tie their bodies to prevent them from having leg loops. In fact, this is a very ignorant practice. This not only does not make the baby's legs straighter, but also causes leg deformities. Moreover, doing so can also lead to poor blood circulation in the baby's body, which is only harmful but not beneficial to the baby's growth.
When the baby is sleeping, the mother only needs to observe that the baby will not press down on their face. It is best to let the baby decide their own sleeping position while ensuring their safety, and not deliberately manipulate the baby according to their own ideas.
