2. Spread alcohol all over when the child has a fever

Instead of using alcohol, mothers can use warm water towels to wipe the body to help the baby reduce fever faster .

 

3. Let the baby lie down

The laying of babies lying down has been warned by many experts and doctors. According to old beliefs, putting babies to lie down can help keep them warm, and at the same time make their bones stronger. However, current research shows that lying coal can cause children to inhale too much CO2, leading to serious effects on the nervous system. Not to mention the risk of infant burns due to negligence.

4. Put the child in an airtight room

Fear of drafts will make children cold, many mothers let their children lie in windy rooms, even without light. This is a misconception, which is not only bad but also harmful to the baby's health.

When the child breathes, when CO2 will be released into the air. If the room is too closed, the air cannot circulate, the exhaust gas will gather around the child, thereby causing the baby to lack oxygen. The most serious consequences are sudden death while sleeping.

5. Raise your child's tongue with honey

It is the right thing to show your child's tongue . However, babies younger than 12 months cannot use honey. With their immature digestive system, infants cannot neutralize the effects of botulism spores like adults. Therefore, children are at risk of poisoning if exposed to raw or unpasteurized honey.

If you want to leave your baby's tongue safely, you should only use saline gauze to gently clean your baby's tongue.

6. Cut the child's hair

There is an old belief that regularly cutting blood will help babies hair to grow longer. However, science has yet to give concrete evidence on this problem. In addition, babies have not fully healed, so cutting blood can be dangerous, damaging the baby's scalp.

7. Give the baby solid food early

5-6 months is the best time to start weaning. If the baby is given solid food earlier, at about 4 months old, the baby's digestive system will not adapt, which can lead to diarrhea or digestive disorders.

So, if you use baby powder, you should only use it in moderation. Also note, do not use powder directly on the child's skin. Ideally, you should rub the powder on your hands before using it on your baby.
