And do not forget that children are born far-sighted and retain this vision feature up to 6-8 years. Therefore, do not hang rattles, too close to the eyes: they become very tired and start mowing. In this case, it is a hidden tendency to strabismus - a disease of a small child. Its main sign is that the glazik deviates from the visual axis not only with fatigue, but also when the baby wants to sleep, fell ill, did not get enough sleep, was overexcited.
Do you want to test yourself for a hidden strabismus?
Let the pope draw the attention of the crumbs to a bright toy with a peepal. Now cover one of the baby's eyes with a circle cut out of a cardboard box. Move the circle to the other eye, watching the behavior of the one that just opened. If he still looks at the item you specified, it means everything is in order. Do the same with the other eye.
The glazik "gone" closed by you , deviated from the original visual axis, shows the child to the ophthalmologist, even if the strabism is not noticeable to the surrounding people, the illness for a small child sometimes causes anxiety: the world around periodically doubles, which leads to increased visual fatigue, headache, nausea, and increased excitability. If you do not go to the doctor on time, the hidden strabismus can become obvious - one-sided or alternating, when both eyes are mowed in turn. Initially, the vision in them develops approximately the same, but, To avoid ghosting items, baby unconsciously begins to suppress the visual image of the deviating eye. As a result, developing amblyopia (functional blindness). Absolutely healthy eye, which the child due to squint for a while does not use, can cause blindness.
Amblyopia is easier to prevent than treat! And the eye, which works for two, also has a hard time. He suffers from an exorbitant load, begins to see worse, quickly becomes tired. In addition, monocular (with the help of one eye) vision can not be called full. It is not three-dimensional, but flat. The kid does not perceive the perspective, distant and near objects are superimposed on each other. Hence the problems with the development of the eye, drawing, the development of coordination of movements and orientation in space. Such a child has a higher risk of injury, and when he is older, it will be difficult for him to participate in mobile games. The need to catch a ball, which requires good coordination and an eye, will put him in a dead end. Strabismus - a small child's disease can not be started.
What does "doctor cold" offer?
Air baths. Have you already crumbled for a month? Ventilate the nursery and let the baby lie naked for 1-2 minutes.
Repeat the session 3 times a day, increasing its duration. Often turn the child, exercise it on a large ball.
Know-How
Cover the ball with a diaper, place the baby on the stomach, pull out the handles, press the palms against the surface of the ball and shake in different directions. Then repeat everything on the back. Wiping. From 3-4 months twice a day, rub the baby with a dry mitten until light redness: pens, chest, stomach, back and legs.
After 10-14 days, go to the wet wipes - once a day. Moisten the mitten with water 35-36 C, a week - cooler (32 C), then every month lower the temperature by a degree, bringing to 30 C.
Press the mitten
Cover the baby with a diaper, leaving the handle open. Wipe it and rub it with a dry towel. And so on. Cravings. After evening bathing, water your palms and feet from the shower and rub them with a towel. By the way, if you did not know, know that with strabismus - the illness of a small child, massage is very useful.
The impurities are quenched and help the child to sleep better. The water should be 36 C, then every 2 weeks reduce it to a degree, bringing it to 30 C. If the child is well tolerated, try to reduce the year to 25-26 C.
Massage cabinet
The younger the baby, the more benefit from the massage. True, a newborn child does not recommend doing it: the child's main task is to adapt to an autonomous existence in the world. Additional loads during this period may interfere. The most suitable age for attending massage and gymnastics is 1 month. But all children are different: a strong, active baby can be done already in the fourth week, and a weak, premature baby should be kept longer. Before you start, talk to the pediatrician!
