The diaper is the main subject of infant clothes for several thousand years. Diaper - a phenomenon elementary, simple design makes no odds to different designers and stylists. Diaper - affordable, comfortable, familiar. But so does everything clearly?
Historically in using diaper lie, apparently for economic reasons. Classic human clothes with sleeves and hems - strictly adapted to the body size. Obviously, as soon as the size of the body change significantly in the next two weeks, then normal service will not be enough. And the diaper is provided that the size, no one will save initially allows at least six months about a new clothing not to think.
The attitude of the society and medical science to swaddle for many decades remained more or less stable.
- Do I need to swaddle?
- It is necessary!
- How to swaddle?
- Align the handle, leveling legs, and everything else is twisting, winding tighter and secure, so as not to jerk.
"Why pull?
"I wish the legs were smooth and flat, to know who's boss...
Gradually opinions have changed. Numerous studies have found an absolutely amazing fact - it turns out that the curve of the foot becomes flat as her tight nor oblative. It turns out that the smoothness of the legs generally to the technique of swaddling is not irrelevant. It turns out, tightly wrapped in a wrapping cloth a child! harder to breathe. Moreover, the wise doctor came to the conclusion that there is no need to rape a baby. For if all children tend to occupy a certain position, pull the legs, bend the handle, apparently, exactly this position is for a child is the most physiologic, i.e., comfortable and natural.
And on the grounds are so simple and so logical output swaddling was subjected to merciless criticism and sank into oblivion under pressure from progressive medical and parent community. Replaced the swaddle tight it's diapering free - as a symbol of democracy and respect for human rights.
The baby, wrapped in a wrapping cloth freely, has the ability to move the limbs and take a position convenient for him. It would seem that consensus. Free swaddling - optimal, comfortable, traditionally, meets the needs of both children and parents. Yes, some grandmothers this swaddle is not satisfied, mainly for aesthetic reasons. Well, how can you compare an amazing beauty, elegant, correct and accurate platen, resulting in a tight swaddle, and sloppy, rigaudiere, bag-like education, created by means of free swaddling?
But with grandmothers to agree. No, in the end, the person cannot be persuaded by arguments about freedom and rights.
And all would be well, when suddenly... Suddenly, in dozens of countries, hundreds of media there were numerous reports that the swaddle, it turns out that, in principle, is very harmful. And even free diapering is not no freedom, but only freedom to move in a confined space (the analogy with the freedom of movement on the territory of the prison). Moreover, there were thousands of special expertise - child psychologists, convincingly proving that, pelena children, it turns out that we born with limited perception of the world, disrupt the formation of tactile features that hinder the harmonious development of the human personality, break the individuality and in General: the education of the person who is worthy to live in the XXI century, and the use of diapers are incompatible.
Millions of pairs of parents are in despair and confusion. Our poor kids... In our criminal parental ignorance shall they that have passed through hell flour diaper, now backward, inharmonious, immature, passive. And those of wheedle that crawlers and vests from birth, are now ours to command and to push them around in every way.
But what to do? How to fix it? It is clear that to give birth to the next and about diapers forget the wisest decision, but this backward-incompatibility, sorry.
To tell you the truth, anyone really feel sorry for is the poor parents. The impression that parental instinct is able to exert an overwhelming influence on the elementary common sense.
Note:
- opponents Mat met before. Typical and perhaps the most famous apologist antibalance propaganda - the great writer Leo Tolstoy. Paradoxically, the Lev Nikolaevich in childhood swaddled that, on the one hand, did not prevent him to prove his own genius, and on the other, prevented yet to conclusively prove the link between infantilism and dullness Pierre Bezukhov with tight infant swaddle;
- the flowering of human civilization and new technologies - from disposable diapers to spaceflight - provided the people in childhood swaddled;
- everyone who is reading these lines, in childhood swaddled;
the most paradoxical: the great child psychologists, threatening imminent bed all wrapped in a wrapping cloth, in childhood also swaddled. Perhaps some tighter than was necessary...
The formation of the full and harmonious development of the human personality really is determined by many factors: individual, genetically determined characteristics of temperament, General state of health in General and treatment of specific diseases in particular, the system of pedagogical and religious education, country of habitation. Special and, perhaps, the most important role of psychological climate in the family, formed a system of values, based on the number of children, presence of both parents and their contacts with each other, with kids, with their parents. All the above mentioned factors are very important and their influence on the formation of the child proved unconditionally. At the same time, there is no full-fledged, genuine scientific research that proves the link Mat and problems of personality development.
Thus, scientific and logical motivation of refusal swaddling does not exist, and on this basis we can formulate the main rule: to swaddle or not to swaddle the baby is a personal matter of his parents, which is determined by their desires, a way of life.
In antibalance propaganda, at least in our country, has a distinctly economic motives. Any domestic plant, any plant, any housewife can during the day to release a diaper. But beautiful pants, vests, sliders, suits, unitard - colored, with pictures, lace, zavyazochki-ribbons, buttons and pockets - it is already more difficult. This is expensive and, as a rule, overseas goods. And is this raspalovachka as five diaper. Isn't this the essence of "diaper harm"?
Parents, however, should be aware that refusal diaper convenient in many ways. Note some of them:
- when using vests and sliders to dressing the infant can attract men, for the father who has mastered the art of swaddling, is a unique phenomenon;
- diaper very uncomfortable in the hot season - overheating baby not difficult;
-when washing, undershirts and sliders, in comparison with the diaper, require less water and detergent, and drying not only occupy less space, but also dry faster;
- how would you freely with her baby wrapped, it can still be uncomfortable. Again, regardless of the quality Mat, active child may also repellents (and well, if the room is warm). It is clear that yourself to get rid of the sliders-vests - many times more difficult;
- undershirts and sliders really no way limit physical activity...
But!! All of the above is not important. And if an older child in the house remained two dozen diapers, you do not need to spend money on vests only because in the interval between pregnancies you have got acquainted with the achievements of advanced psychological thought.
I repeat: it's your own business - swaddle or not to swaddle. No - one-girl-consultant in children's clothing shop, neither the doctor nor a psychologist, but no one will take the decisions for you. Just do not think that this decision and in fact, can seriously affect the health of your child. Want - palinite, you don palinite. Just don't be nervous.
