Every baby is born with their little fists tightly clenched. Many mothers may not pay much attention to this phenomenon, but pediatricians remind everyone to open the baby's tightly clenched fists in a timely manner.
The development of the hands is closely related to the baby's brain development.
Hand movements can promote the development of the nervous system and play a crucial role in inducing infant psychological development.
When the fingers are separated, the baby can freely manipulate various objects, enabling the baby to actively learn and engage in various activities, and promoting the development of perception and concrete thinking abilities.
Through hand movements, the baby interacts with the environment, helping the baby establish the concept of interaction between themselves and the environment. This interactive experience is of great significance for the baby's future development.
How should mothers open the baby's clenched fists?
In daily life, regularly opening the baby's clenched fists will give them a feeling of relaxation and stretching their fingers.
When bathing the baby, don't forget to wash their little hands. Gently insert your fingertip into the baby's palm and gently rotate it inside the palm while cleaning and massaging.
When feeding the baby, hold them in your arms and extend your finger into their palm, holding their little hand with your big hand, gently touch and slowly shake it. Gently stroke and open the baby's fist, allowing the palm to touch the mother's breast and face. Keep talking to the baby. Sucking on the mother's milk, feeling the warmth of the mother's skin, the baby will feel satisfied and comfortable.
