First of all, it is worth saying that sleeping on the stomach of a child is not as dangerous as many parents are afraid. This is a natural position for an infant and is much more comfortable than sleeping on your back. When the child rolls over on his stomach, he pulls his legs to his chest, his body is grouped, the posture resembles that which was in the womb. In this position, the load on the spine is reduced, the baby does not need a pillow. He can sleep in this position quite calmly until the morning.
Immediate therapy is based on drugs that quickly and strongly dilute the bronchi. But if it is extended, the child must be hospitalized. This disease, unfortunately, is long-lived and unpredictable. Diagnosis can only be made after 18 months, although if the child's behavior is examined in the first few days of life, signs of illness may be observed. Sugar is excessively quiet, indifferent, indifferent, not communicating with a glance or sternness. When he grows up, he lives in himself, deep, expressionless, without any contact with reality.
However, parents understand that if a child buries his mouth and nose in a mattress or burps in his sleep, this can lead to SIDS - sudden infant death syndrome, when the baby simply suffocates in his sleep, without realizing it and being unable to call for help. Almost all parents are afraid of the manifestations of this syndrome in the first year of life. Therefore, they continue to lay their children on their backs even after they learn to roll over on their stomach on their own.
Behavior strange, strange, with agitating and aggressive access. Treatment is based primarily on education. This should be tailored to each individual person depending on symptoms and needs. Treatment may include: - Behavioral therapy to help the patient adapt to his or her living conditions - "Integration Programs" to help the patient adapt as much as possible to the world around him. - Provide an organized living environment. - Audiovisual therapy to help with communication - diet control - medications - music therapy - physiotherapy - language therapy.
One way to deal with these rollovers in your sleep is to swaddle your baby tightly. Not for nothing until quite recently, babies were tightly wrapped in diapers and left like that all night. In this position, the baby calms down faster, does not hit himself with his hands, and therefore does not wake up and does not roll over in his sleep. However, there are also disadvantages: this is an extremely uncomfortable position for the baby. Imagine that you are unable to move all night. Then no rest will work, the body will hurt and whine. This happens with the baby, tight swaddling harms blood circulation and the supply of oxygen to all organs.
Treatment may also include educating the patient to deal with new situations. Sometimes a patient requires admission to a specialized facility if the family cannot help and treat the person with autism. Side effects depend on the treatment used. Behavioral therapy can cause frustration for the patient and family. Medicines can affect the stomach, cause allergies, irritability, depression. Autism treatment usually takes a lifetime. A person with less severe autism should expect new symptoms or worsening of existing ones.
A child in a dream needs to move in the same way as an adult, so his rolls on his stomach after 5-6 months are almost inevitable. But at this age, the SIDS syndrome is no longer as terrible as for babies 1-3 months old. In order for the baby to wake up as little as possible and rush about restlessly in a dream, before going to bed he needs to be properly calmed down. Do not take any noisy games 1-1.5 hours before bedtime, give your child a soothing massage, give him kefir or milk to drink, read a calm fairy tale or poetry, sing a lullaby. Then, in a dream, the child will also behave calmly and may even sleep through the night without turning over.
A person suffering from a more severe form of autism needs an ongoing program of therapy. Autism should be kept under constant surveillance. Treatment must always be improved. A person suffering from a less severe form of autism may improve as they age. But in the case of those suffering from a more severe form of autism, the disease may worsen and treatment needs to be improved. They depend on a caregiver to control their behavior and help them with daily activities.
Prevention: Since the causes of autism are unknown, this disease cannot be prevented. Only recognition and early treatment can reduce the effects of autism. Genetic testing can help a couple who wants to have children and have or have had autism in their families.
If you are afraid of the baby turning over, you can put hard pillows on both sides of the baby that prevent him from moving during sleep. Yet the best way will put the baby to sleep not in a spacious bed, but in a cradle that outlines the baby's body well and allows him to lie in only one position - on his back. Sleeping in a cradle will be preferable for children up to 5 months, then the child becomes too large and mobile to sleep normally in a confined space.
Statistics: This disease usually appears before 3 years of age. Boys have four times more than girls. Almost 5 out of every 000 people suffer from autism, regardless of the social environment. This disease, which is well treated and carefully controlled, heals quickly and permanently, without complications. Therefore, when the child starts to cough, he starts to have a fever, do not hesitate to consult a doctor. It is good not to remove the child from the house. Antibiotics reduce the severity of bronchitis.
If he/she is well taken care of, the little one will get better in 5-6 days. However, the cough may take 2-3 weeks because the child usually does not know what to expect. Operative treatment is practiced twice: first to sew the cleft lip, then the suture thread. Usually surgery is performed after the child has reached 6 months, and a palatine split between 18 and 2 years.
Sleeping with parents is what children like the most. Sometimes for parents the best remedy in order not to worry about the baby and not get up to his crib several times a night. However, it is usually very difficult for a child to wean himself from such sleep. Therefore, if possible, it is better to immediately accustom the baby to his crib and the correct position for sleeping in it.
The reasons are often unknown. Of course, some children don't lose their hair; Those whose hair falls are probably more fragile or held in one position too much, usually on the back. But if this bigger baby, we first think of a tick that will manifest itself by pulling the hair or twisting it around the finger. But it should also be pointed out that certain diseases or certain medications cause hair loss.
If it is very mild, it may only appear on the lips and indicates poor oxygenation of the blood, respiratory or cardiac, due to a cold feeling that causes contraction of small peripheral vessels. However, if it is constant, often appearing from the first days of life, the doctor does not exclude the possibility of developing heart disease. When cyanosis occurs suddenly and becomes more acute, almost instantaneous, it is acute respiratory failure.
The baby has learned to roll over from its back to its stomach, but it doesn’t always work back, and is it worried? Does the child roll over in his sleep and, laying on his stomach, calmly falls asleep, and then suddenly wakes up and cries? Do you have to get up several times during the night and turn him over on his back? Worried about whether it is safe for a child to sleep on his stomach? Do not know what to do so that the baby rests calmly and comfortably? Let's understand: what, how and why.
The quantitative crisis is manifested by intermittent, strong and violent screams and cries that appear for no apparent reason; sometimes associated with a state of excitement and facial expressions; Everything points to a state of real suffering in the child, which can last from several minutes to several hours; The end of the crisis is as sudden as its beginning, the child seems quiet when he passes gas or stool.
Currently, there are various teas and syrups on the pharmaceutical market to soothe the child's pain. The etiology is unknown, but contributes to: a decrease in the fiber content in food; In industrialized countries, psychosomatic factors. Clinically, it manifests itself most often with flatulence, short episodes of diarrhea, abdominal pain, alternating with constipation or normal chairs.
Sleeping on your stomach - an alarm or the norm?
A question that worries all parents: is it permissible that a child (especially still a baby) lies on his stomach in a dream? Yes. This natural process laid down by nature. Already in the womb, the baby sleeps with his back up, pulling his arms and legs under him. Known to everyone and everyone the position of the embryo. He is so comfortable and comfortable.
Conjunctivitis of the newborn is an ocular infection, due to contamination during uterine expulsion, which is practically impossible due to the prophylactic silver nitrate installations that are made after birth. But since some nitrate-resistant microbes exist, an ophthalmic or antibiotic brow is used.
In infants they appear with hard, dry stools, often crushed into small balls, and when they are very rare, only 2-3 days. The child is a food problem. A breastfeeding child is very rarely constipated. Even if he does not have a stool every day, he is soft. If, however, it is constipation, it is due to malnutrition or maternal constipation. Babies who are breastfeeding have more constipation. If she is less than 3 months old, her doctor may recommend replacing the milk or increasing the fruit juice ratio.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! Be sure to watch the second video about why pediatricians around the world do not recommend putting babies to sleep on their stomach.
Moreover, despite the fears and concerns of parents (he can suffocate, twist his neck, squeeze blood vessels, damage something to himself), if you provide quality care, properly prepare the bed, diapers, clothes in which the baby sleeps, turn on his stomach in a dream - good for the child (provided that he is physically healthy!). So:
Lack of exercise and water in the body can cause constipation. If the child begins to sleep spasmodically, ask him to make a few leg movements. If you're still not breaking through the crib, try some small leg exercises; Place it horizontally on your back and gently rock your legs back and forth. - Massage. Measure three fingers down the navel and massage lightly. Press until you feel the farm. Keep the pressure constant for about three minutes. - a sufficient amount of liquid.
If your child is over two months old, you can give him 3 ml of fruit juice diluted with 3 ml of water twice a day. If your baby is less than two months old, see a doctor first. - Additional procedures from your doctor. If you do not know what to inject your child immediately; Seek medical attention. If your child is seriously conceived, your doctor may suggest glycerin suppositories. The suppositories stimulate the rectum and help eliminate feces.
- weak spine is protected from excessive loads;
- digestive processes are improving;
- cerebral blood supply improves (especially if the child sleeps with his legs tucked under him and his ass raised);
- there is a natural prevention of DTS (pathology of the musculoskeletal system - hip dysplasia), when the baby sleeps on his tummy, spreading his legs.
And what to do if the child is not even a month old, his navel has not yet completely healed, and the baby stubbornly tries to lie down with his back up (especially if a healthy baby is not swaddled before going to bed, but put to sleep freely: in a vest)? Remember what they do in the hospital when a mother sees her child for the first time? It is placed on her chest - belly. So do nothing! It should only be observed that the little one is comfortable and safe. Periodically turn it on the barrel.
During 4-6 months, the child may be given more vegetable and fruit juice soups or vegetable puree. Hyperthermia is defined as convulsions caused by fever. So all the reasons elevated temperature may be the cause, especially in trivial diseases. They occur at a time when the nervous system, still immature, is especially sensitive. It may also be due to the family's predisposition to the pathological condition.
The child suddenly stops, loses consciousness, his body becomes rigid, and his eyes go down over his head. This stage takes a few minutes, then stops, the child begins to wheeze, and his body relaxes. Loss of knowledge is complete, after more or less prolonged sleep. Immediate intervention is the same as in the case of a drop in temperature: - first of all, they must be separated; - taking care of children by bathing for 10 minutes; - ice packs, cold packs, etc.; -medicine against fever.
Up to a month or two, it is generally not advisable for a baby to lie in one position for a long time: on the back or tummy. The best sleeping position is on your side.
And a well-treated navel will have enough air to heal in any position of a sleeping baby.
Many diseases can manifest themselves either due to a biological disorder or due to a traumatic brain injury. When there is no cause, epilepsy is suspected. Any pre-bleeding or redness should be reported to the emergency physician; Also, any leakage of blood or pus when the umbilical cord falls or even later. There may be swelling, such as rubbish, the doctor will treat it with one or more touches of a silver nitrate pencil.
Flat, oily, scratchy deposits appear on the scalp. The scalp may be completely affected, and the scalp may also appear on the forehead, eyebrows, cheeks, or throat. Treatment is carried out with vaseline salicylate on the scalp, in a bath, budgeonage, then with dyes.
If everything is possible and there is nothing to be afraid of, then why does the baby shudder, cry, wake up, lying on his stomach in a dream? There must be an explanation for the worry!
Waking up and crying - possible causes
Increasing, especially repetitive crying is a signal: something is wrong. First of all, check if the baby is comfortable:
This may be accompanied by abdominal colic, nausea and vomiting, fever and even blood pills. Acute diarrhea is caused by a bacterial, viral, or parasitic agent, while chronic diarrhea is most often caused by inflammatory bowel disease. The causes of the disease are: social and mental stress, certain medications, spoiled food, contaminated drinking water, food allergies, salmonellosis, gastritis, colitis, kidney and intestinal disorders.
Causes: Insufficient dilution of milk, too early or too much feed, too much flour. The most common cause is microbial or viral. What to do? Even before going to the doctor, it is necessary to stop normal eating, completely suppress milk for a day or two, and establish a liquid, dairy-free diet. He will be given milk to drink in small quantities, but alternating with sweetened water, carrot soup, rice juice. After five to six months, foods with antidiarrheal virtues such as raw raspberries, crushed bananas, quince jelly can be added.
- are there any folds on the bed and clothes (the diaper, vest, sliders have gone astray and presses);
- whether breathing is difficult (stuffy room, dry air, dusty unironed bed, fleecy sheet, bonnet wrapped around the neck, hot blanket);
- is the baby cold (the baby freezes much faster than an adult, he warmed himself with maternal warmth for nine months, which he really lacks in a separate bed);
- whether the baby is wet (even if the newborn is wearing a diaper, and not a gauze diaper, it may be cold from infiltrated moisture);
- are the arms and legs entangled in the diaper or in the sleep kit;
- whether a draft or heat from the heater blows on it;
- whether the light from the night lamp hits the eyes;
- Is there excessive noise in the room?
Sometimes her cheeks turn red, her gums swell, the baby sinks, she puts her fists in her mouth. To calm him down, we can do the following. Biting on bread, cookies, or a tooth toy In places where the gum swells, it can be easily done with a balm or syrup, with a piece of ice wrapped in a fine handkerchief.
His general condition is also disturbed: the child sometimes has diarrhea and fever. Dental Trauma: If a child falls and breaks a tooth or snores, you should immediately contact a dentist who, in certain situations, can save their teeth through reimplantation.
If all the inconveniences are taken into account and eliminated, and the baby also wakes up and cries, it's time to sound the alarm. He is physically ill. Among the most common causes of anxious awakening of the baby and crying, there may be:
- bloating, colic in the tummy (excessive gas formation always causes pain until they are eliminated, you can, unfortunately, forget about a restful sleep);
- intestinal congestion from overeating (at 4 months, when they begin to feed the first complementary foods in the form of fruit juices and purees, this is especially true. And, in general, up to 9, and sometimes 12 months, the baby’s stomach and intestines react extremely unstable to adult food: not all enzymes are still produced for the digestion of food.It must be carefully dosed and sorted);
- increased tone (a characteristic sign is a head tilted back and up during sleep and tightly pressed hands pressed against the body);
- impaired transition from inhibition nervous system to excitement (startling, sharp and feverish twitching of the limbs - the baby frightens himself);
- moving (not even cut yet, but preparing for a sortie) teeth;
- a runny nose makes it difficult to breathe, or your nose is clogged;
- the temperature has risen (otitis media, a cold, postpartum jaundice, a rotovirus infection, tonsillitis, or just a reaction to a vaccination);
- allergies (it may be accompanied by itching, heart palpitations, rash, shortness of breath).
All this is a reason to seek advice from a neurologist, gastroenterologist. But first of all - to the local (or paid) pediatrician. After a thorough examination, testing, ultrasound (if necessary), the specialist will dispel your fears with a detailed recommendation, prescribe (if necessary) appropriate treatment, a massage course.
Sleep on your stomach without anxiety
Qualified assistance is important and necessary. But we ourselves are able to do a lot so as not to start the symptoms that interrupt the baby’s sleep. Here are the simplest rules:
- During daytime wakefulness, we carry out a complex of therapeutic and strengthening exercises for the child, not forgetting to stroke the tummy.
- We iron diapers, sleepwear, bed linen, removing particles of dust, powder or detergent.
- We remove the soft, sagging featherbed, replacing it with an elastic (preferably orthopedic) mattress. Otherwise, the child's face may sink into the soft folds of the feather bed when he rolls over, which is fraught with extremely deplorable consequences.
- We remove from the arsenal of bed linen sheets with a long fluffy pile, terry: they can clog the spout, blocking oxygen.
- We part with pillows. The baby should sleep on a flat surface of the crib with a slightly raised (from the side of the head). Up to 6 months (or better - up to a year), a pillow is an unnecessary and harmful item for the baby's spine.
- Laying the baby on the belly, gently stroke his back. So the child relaxes and subconsciously prepares for a restful sleep.
- Pour a decoction of chamomile into the bathing bath (a tablespoon of flowers is kept in a steam bath for 10-15 minutes, adding boiling water to a liter). It calms the nervous system.
- Never play active games with your baby before going to bed, do not tickle and make laugh: an overexcited unequal system is the enemy of a restful sleep.
- Be sure to ventilate the room.
- After feeding the baby (especially before a night's rest), we lift him vertically, hugging him for a few minutes, so that the excess food and the air absorbed along with it come out with a burp.
- From the first days of a baby's life, we give a few drops of water (boiled!), And with excessive gas formation and colic - dill (pharmacy or brewed with our own hands: in a glass of boiling water, insist 1 incomplete teaspoon of ripe dill seeds, then strain).
- If the baby is anxious in a dream, stroke his tummy: with light massage movements clockwise (!), Bypassing the navel. The intestines relax - the pain will go away. Sleep will improve.
