Diaper - the main subject of infant clothing for several thousand years. Diaper - a phenomenon basic, simple design makes no odds to excel designers and stylists. Diaper - accessible, comfortable, familiar. But is uniquely?
Historically, through the use of diapers are, apparently, economic reasons. Classical human clothing - with sleeves and trousers - are strictly tailored to the size of the body. It is obvious that as long as the dimensions of the body itself is changing significantly within two weeks, then normal clothes are not impossible to satiate. A diaper - on the condition that the size no one would initially save - allows for at least six months on new clothes do not think.
Attitude of the society and medical science to swaddling for decades has remained more or less stable.
- Do I have to swaddle?
- It is necessary!
- And how to swaddle?
- Align handles, align the legs, and everything else to twist and bend more tightly, and hold to no twitching.
- Why do your socks?
- To have legs rovnenkie, to know who's boss ...
Gradually, attitudes changed. Numerous studies have revealed quite a surprising fact - it turns out, the curve becomes flat foot, as it tightly or braid. It turns out that evenness feet generally to the technique of swaddling has nothing to do. It turns out that tight zapelenatomu dityu harder to breathe. Moreover, the wise doctor came to the conclusion that we should not force the baby! For if all without exception, children tend to take a position - pull your legs bent handles - then, apparently, that this posture is for the child the most physiologic, ie, comfortable and natural.
And on the basis of so simple and so logical inference tight swaddling has been subjected to merciless criticism and fell into oblivion under the pressure of progressive brand name viagra medical and parental community. In place of swaddling swaddling taut it free - as a symbol of democracy and respect for human rights.
A child zapelenaty freely, is able to move the limbs and to take position, convenient for him. It would seem to be a consensus. Free diapering - optimally, comfortable, traditionally meets the needs of both children and parents. Yes, some grandmothers is not satisfied with swaddling, mainly for aesthetic reasons. Well, is it possible to compare the amazing beauty, elegant, correct and rovnenky cushion, resulting in a tight swaddling, and sloppy, jerk, saccular formation, created by free swaddling?
But you can negotiate with the grandmothers. No, after all, a man who can not be convinced by the arguments about freedom and rights.
And everything would be fine, when suddenly ... Suddenly, in dozens of countries, hundreds of media there have been numerous reports that swaddling, it appears, in principle, very bad. And even free diapering - it is not no freedom, but only the freedom to move in a confined space (the analogy with the freedom of movement in the prison). Moreover, there were thousands of special professionals - child psychologists, the argument that, swaddling clothes, children, we are, it appears to limit the perception of the birth of the world, break the formation of tactile function, interfering with the harmonious development of human personality, individuality and slowing down at all: education of the individual, to live with dignity in the XXI century, and the use of diapers - the concepts are incompatible.
Millions of parental couples are in dismay and confusion. Poor our children ... in our criminal parental ignorance, they will have passed through hell flour diapers, now backward, inharmonious, underdeveloped, lack of initiative. And these Crafty, that baby's loose jacket with sliders and of birth, will now be our commander and lord it over them in every way.
But what can we do? How do I fix it? It is clear that the next birth and infancy to forget - the wisest decision, but after all this, the backward-harmonious, sorry.
To tell you the truth, who really sorry - so it's poor parents. The impression is that the parental instinct is able to provide the overwhelming influence on the elementary common sense.
Please note:
*
opponents swaddling met before. Typical, and perhaps the best known apologist antipelenochnoy propaganda - the great writer Leo Tolstoy. Paradoxically, most of Tolstoy as a child swaddled, on the one hand, it has not prevented him to show his own genius, but on the other - to prevent still prove conclusively link infantilism and lethargy Pierre Bezukhov with tight swaddling infant;
*
flourishing of human civilization and new technologies - from diapers to fly in space - provided the people of swaddled child;
*
everyone who is reading these lines, swaddled in the childhood;
*
most paradoxical: the great child psychologists, threatening imminent calamity all zapelenatym, swaddled in the childhood, too. Perhaps some tighter than necessary ...
Formation of a full and harmonious development of human personality is actually determined by many factors: individual, genetically determined characteristics of temperament, overall health in general and treatment of specific diseases in particular, a system of educational and religious upbringing, a country habitat. Special and, perhaps most important role is played by the psychological climate in the family, formed a value system based on the number of children having both parents and their contacts with each other, with children, with their own parents. All these factors are very important and their influence on the child proved unconditionally. At the same time, there is no full-fledged, truly scientific studies prove the connection of swaddling and the problems of personality development.
Thus, scientific and logical motivation out of swaddling does not exist, and on this basis we can formulate the main rule: swaddle or not to swaddle the child - a personal matter of his parents, determined by their desires, opportunities and way of life.
In antipelenochnoy Not just a byproduct propaganda, at least in our country, clearly seen economic motives. Any domestic factory, every shop, every housewife can during the day to set up production of diapers. But nice pants, undershirts, sliders, suit, unitard - colorful, with pictures, lace, zavyazochkami-tesemochkami, buttons and pockets - it is more difficult. This is expensive and usually overseas goods. And it's worth a raspashonochka as five diapers. Is not this the essence of "nappy harm"?
Parents, however, should be aware that rejection of the diaper is convenient in many respects. We mention some of them:
*
using raspashonok and sliders to the dressing of the baby can attract men, because his father, who has mastered the art of swaddling - a unique phenomenon;
*
Diapers are very uncomfortable in the hot season - to overheat the baby is not difficult;
*
when washed undershirts and sliders, as compared to diapers require less water and detergent, and drying, not only occupy less space, but also dries faster;
*
how would you free the child nor the swaddle, he may still be uncomfortable. Again, regardless of the quality of swaddling, active child could easily and get unwrapped (and well, if the room is warm). It is clear that self to get rid of the sliders, raspashonok - many times more difficult;
*
undershirts and sliders really no way limit the motor activity ...
But! All of the above - not principal. And if from the eldest child in the house left two dozen diapers, you do not have to spend money on undershirts only because in the interval between pregnancies you get acquainted with the achievements of advanced psychological thought.
I repeat: this is your own business - or not to swaddle swaddle. No one - neither the girl-consultant in children's clothing store, no doctor or psychologist - 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 - shroud, do not want to - do not shroud. Just do not be nervous.
