Most important to accustom the child to early swimming is the question of when to start classes. It is believed that to teach a child to water, as soon as the umbilical wound heals, i.e. around the age of 2-3 weeks.
The basic rules for bathing babies
Bathing the child, do not forget to adhere to the following rules.
- The water temperature should not be very different from body temperature (37 degrees).
- If you want to temper the child can gradually lower the temperature by one degree per month. Remember that the hardening should be slow and gradual, and not sudden immersion in cold water.
Water can and should use normal tap, because the baby's skin should get used to our conditions of life and to develop protection from any impacts.
- Add the water decoctions series, chamomile, sea salt, but not often - otherwise the baby's skin will get used to them and the next time the tool will not work properly.
- Make sure that the temperature in the bathroom was not much different from the room.
Remember that infants are very sensitive to heat and high humidity. So feel free to open the bathroom door and wash your baby.
- Take care that the window while bathing and after were closed, because babies are very sensitive to drafts.
So now you know about the main conditions for successful and safe bathing time in the bathroom. The course of action depends on your plans, so as bathing can be of two types - daily wash (General hygiene) and swimming (complex exercises).
Used to wash
If your child is still very young and just getting started with water treatments, at first, more suitable for daily hygienic cleaning. This should be a ritual to become a habit to subconsciously baby configured in the desired fashion: washed, ate, then it's time to close your eyes and sleep. The duration of the bath may vary from minutes to an hour, depending on the persistence moms and desires of the child. But the more he is in the water, the better, as water treatments develop baby physically.
During daily bathing is not necessary to use soap: skin gentle enough - you can overdry, and most importantly, still very healthy, so will restore the correct balance. Baby soap or gel for washing, you need to use no more than twice a week.
After the bath, wrapped the baby in a towel with hood, do not wipe, and a light touch to blot the water. Pay attention to all folds - they should be dry, which will help to avoid diaper rash. If you then RUB the baby oil or lotion for the body, thereby not only moisten the skin, but will also make it easy relaxing massage, after which will come a sweet sleep.
Learn to swim
When your baby used to the water, it's time to start is not just swimming, and classes in physical training. Now he not only is water on the hands of the parents, and performs a set of exercises that will help him develop.
There are many methods of navigation: entire schools and clubs offer young mothers to invite a specialist at home to practice in the water, because not everyone will be able to first try to perform correctly all the items according to the instructions in the book! So if you want to do with your child active swimming complex techniques, primarily invite instructor-consultant, who, along with you will pass all the stages. First show, and then will allow you under his supervision to do with the child exercises.
If you decided to do without the hassle, you can find a few simple exercises and to develop his method.
But no matter what exercises you have will be very useful for basic poses that teach baby to hold onto water.
Pose the first
: "Float back"
- Place a hand under the child's head so that the little finger was under the neck, and all the other fingers under his head. In this position it will be convenient to float on the back, when the whole body is immersed in water, and the surface remains only the face.
- Without changing his position, you can take her from side to side.
Second hand adjust the immersion of the body and spray water exposed areas of the body, as, emerging on the surface, they cool down quickly.
- Do not worry if water gets in the ears, because then it can be removed with a cotton string.
Position the second: "Float on his tummy"
- Keep your child on the one hand - the thumb under the chin, and the whole hand below the chest. Or the hand under the chin and the entire body of a child splashing in the water.
- Let the child actively working the body and tries swimming movements of his legs and handles become stronger.
Posture third: "Learning to sit"
- Try to put the child in the tub. Just don't let him go - keep under the head and under the back.
Position four:
"Float on the side"
- Put your hand under the head of the infant, and the body may freely splashing in the water.
- Let the kid try to swim first on one side, then the other.
All poses can be repeated several times, to change in any sequence, and between them to wash baby's face with water. When the liquid covers the face, he reflexively othercities and thereby develops the respiratory tract!
In addition to the normal bathing in the bathroom now very popular scuba diving for kids. Pediatricians still cannot come to a common opinion on the subject of diving. Some doctors say that diving for a baby naturally and allows it to grow faster. Others consider scuba diving from a psychological point of view and I don't see anything useful. Besides, they say it's good to swim under water can only be learnt in the pool, and if you have a home there is no need to regularly go to the public and to swim there, together with other moms and children. And so to deal with other infections, flora, unusual for you.
What point of view to take is your own business. Most importantly, remember that swimming in the bathtub does not set itself the task to teach them to swim and grow the Olympic champion, so don't overdo it and try to captivate a child's toys. And then on land little swimmer to come out with a sense of satisfaction and a desire to return for more.
