What is the time for the belly?
The abdominal time is part of the campaign of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), back to sleep, the abdomen that plays , launched in 1992 in an effort to minimize the syndrome of sudden infant death (SIDS). By falling asleep on the back, the SIDS, according to some estimates, threw itself almost 70%. The unfortunate side of the campaign is that more children develop positional plagiocephalia or flattened heads. This is when the infant's head on one side of the head is equal to and potentially causes a malformed skull.
One study said that the average child spends almost 60 hours of awakening limited to the crib, threat, swing, car seat or stroller. This “containerization” of infants has a harmful effect on their development of muscular and engine. The abdominal time gives infants much needed physical activity that helps them strengthen their muscles and practice motor skills. Spending time on the belly puts the foundation for the head and neck control, crawl, push up, sit and roll.
most doctors recommendAbout two to three sessions of the abdominal time a day for about ten minutes at a time. If your child absolutely hates it, any amount of time is better than none. From the moment your umbilical chord has fallen off, make your abdomen part of your daily routine. If your child has an unfavorable response to your abdomen, gradually increase the time it spends there until it reaches a large amount.
Choosing the right time of time for time for the abdomen is essential. After feeding or before a napho, it may not be the best time. Usually, after changing a nap or diaper. Most children do not have a very good head control for up to four months, so you may need to under your chest with an inverted towel or a special pillow. This increases the upper body and head so that your child can look better.
toys are an important part of the abdomen. This is the time for your child to explore the world around you so make surethat he puts interesting toys for his reach. It changes where you put toys so that your child will have to "work" to see them.
You can gradually move the toys further and further to slip to them. Music toys, toys that light up, books and mirrors are the fun that your child will need. There are also special mats designed for abdominal time.
The most important part of the abdomen, except physical and mental activities, is the opportunity to interact and bond for your child. Your encouragement and stimulation gives your child confidence that he has to learn and develop.
