Top 5 Cute Myths about Babies


they’re cute they’re cuddly and every
parent is riddled with anxiety about
messing them up welcome to watchmojo.com
one by one babies are natural-born cooks
and can cook pretty much from birth in
today’s installment we’re counting down
the five myths about babies that had is
rubbing brandy on our gums I have a very
important map to get to so let’s make
this quick
myth number five listening to classical
music will raise your baby’s IQ you put
this speaker on the mother’s stomach and
it bombards the baby with classical
music thus instilling a taste for higher
culture chances are your little bundle
of joy is still reeling from the trauma
of being forcefully evicted from the
womb and thrust into this big scary and
all-around overwhelming world there will
still be plenty of time to teach your
child about the arts and develop
impressive skills to secure them a spot
the city’s best pre kindergarten but
until then just focus on making them
happy if classical music helps your baby
relax then keep the Bach coming but
studies have yet to produce any concrete
evidence linking exposure to music and
increased cognitive development in
infants that being said getting an
instrument in the hands of your child at
a young age has been linked with an
increased IQ this number for your
newborn should be on a strict feeding
schedule here’s this feeding schedule
and the physical therapy exercises are
in the binder and you’re going to have
to change his diaper stop speaking for
generations it was the opinion of
doctors and parents alike that a feeding
schedule was in the baby’s best interest
don’t ever feed him after midnight but
modern medicine has changed its tune and
a new thinking makes a lot of sense
interval feeding serves no physiological
purpose while feeding based on the
newborns needs maximizes its nutrient
intake if a baby is hungry it will wake
up and the faster you feed it rather
than waiting for the next interval
allotted time the faster your baby can
return to getting its much-needed rest
show no fear babies Oh feel like until
they’re three months old babies appear
to be driven almost entirely by hunger
and fatigue meaning that try as you
might get them on the schedule they’re
not lie
to follow it it’s a war so if I need to
put my baby on a schedule to stop my
life from spiraling out of control
that’s what I’m gonna do
myth number three formula is just as
healthy as breast milk baby formula has
been around since the mid 1800s but
historically was used as a backup when a
mother was unable to breastfeed as of
the 1950s however formula makers were
marketing their product as a superior
choice for healthy infants doctors armed
with a lack of understanding on just how
essential breast milk is on the
development of a child signed off all I
drank when I was a baby was chocolate
milk what we now understand is that in
addition to the many essential vitamins
and nutrients found in breast milk which
formula can provide breast milk also
helps prevent illness through immune
boosting substances reduces the risks of
allergies and infants and can
significantly reduce risk of sudden
infant death syndrome no judgment here
of course busy mums may have no choice
but to formula feed myth number two
you’ll spoil a baby by picking them up
whenever they cry it’s an argument
everyone has heard before your baby
needs to learn to self-soothe she was
self-soothing the system was working
well no your two-year-old might need to
learn to self-soothe but when a newborn
cries it is signaling to you that it
needs your attention the only way in
those how
in fact interacting with your baby when
it cries goes a long way in forming a
crucial sense of trust affection and
familiarity between you and your child
an infant is driven by basic needs needs
they simply cannot address themselves
the hunger fatigue gas enos physical
discomfort or simply craving physical
touch there is no benefit of depriving
your child of attention a newborn isn’t
capable of being spoiled or manipulating
you just quite it I’m a baby I have no
money you owe us $200 myth number one
you should put a baby to sleep on its
stomach to anyone guilty of this error
don’t beat yourself up it was the
official recommended position for
putting your newborn to bed safely for a
very long time this was based on the
logic that babies were more likely to
asphyxiate on spit-up if left unattended
on their backs but research has shown
that an infant will automatically clear
these fluids via coughing or swallowing
the American Academy of Pediatrics has
made it their official stance as of 1992
the baby should exclusively be placed on
their backs to sleep since the back to
sleep campaign was launched in 1994
sudden infant death syndrome has been
reduced by a staggering 50% I’ll read
you one very less book if you swear
you’re gold
