Mothers often encounter a lot of trouble when they take care of their
babies, especially when babies are sleeping such as high cushions, when they
are procumbent, too thick blanket and so forth. To such problems, if we do not
help our babies come back to right positions, they may be breathless or their
hands and legs may suffer from pain. In particular, the case that babies sleep
in the swing should be also noticed. It is necessary to understand the usage of
the swing as well as its working principles with a view to insuring the safety
and comfort for babies. In this article, I am about to share tips to keep
babies safe during their sleep in a swing.

Elementary
tips
When you lay your babies in the swing,
you had better remember the notes bellows to avoid unfortunate shock and
incidents during sleeping.
Let babies lie on the back; do not
let them be procumbent on the grounds that procumbent position could result in
chest tightness and heart pain.
Do not cover babies’ faces or heads
with blankets or nets or anything else. This helps babies to get more oxygen
from the space. If their faces, especially their noses are covered, it will be
difficult for them to breathe. In addition, babies do not know to control their
breathing like adults.
Do not let the smoke of cigarette
or fired coal into the room of babies as such smoke will make them struggle to
breathe.
Keep the space safe. For example,
if the baby swing is small and you choose the one that has no barrier, there
should have a soft cushion right below the swing.
Do not let the pets like dogs and
cats sleep in babies’ room on the grounds that if they bark or make noise, our
babies will be startled and fall out of their swing.
Apart from this, when you place
your baby in the swing, you ought to put their legs in the end of swing so that
your babies cannot slip their feet down the cushion layer.
Babies always need blankets whether
it is hot or cold. It is also not advisable to use a set of swing cover layer
which will reduce the ventilation of swing.

Protection
Besides paying attention to the
position and posture of our babies, we have to protect them from mosquitoes
which usually fly around the babies and wait for suitable moment to bite.
We need to keep the space clean all
the time so that there is nothing attractive to this kind of insects. If the
rooms have food, carbonated drink, milk or much dirt, the mosquitoes will come.
Therefore, remember to clean the room regularly to insure the quality of air.
These are the most common problems that parents often have to cope with
in terms of looking after their baby girls and baby boys. After my sharing, I
hope to collect more tips to share with you in my next posts.
