TOP 10 bad advice from grandmothers

To your attention the most absurd harmful advice of grandmothers on raising a child, which has long been denied by all possible experts.

Surely every mother, while still pregnant, more than once listened to the absurd instructions of her mother or mother-in-law about her pregnancy. And after the birth of the baby, everything only got worse. Our newly-made grandmothers just want to make their "correct" contribution to the upbringing of the child, thereby spoiling the child and the relationship with their children. And you can't argue them in any way, in response you only hear: "I am experienced, I have lived my life!", "In our time, this is the only way they did it!" Well, how can a young mother find harmony when there are a lot of "smart" advisers around? How can you be calm and not break down? Perhaps it is worth giving this article to ALL grandmothers!

To your attention the most absurd harmful advice, which has long been denied by all possible experts:

1. "A diaper is evil!"

Grandmothers, take it easy already! A diaper is not a replaceable thing that could come up with! Mom no longer needs to get up 10 times a night and change diapers, and babies have prickly heat without any diapers.

2. "The child must be swaddled, or even better - pulled tight legs so that they grow evenly."

Well, if the grandmother is not against the child to pull the legs, then what is there to be surprised if soon the baby is diagnosed with "hip dysplasia." So much for your straight legs ...

3. “Don't kiss the child on the lips! It will start talking late! "

In fact, you really shouldn't kiss a child on the lips, all the same germs get. And the child will begin to talk when he himself is ready for this.

4. "Before every feeding, my breasts are covered with soap!"

Yeah, and then mom suffers from cracked nipples. It is enough to wash your breasts with plain water 1-2 times a day. The soap dries and irritates delicate nipples.

5. "By the age of one year, a child should be shaved on a bald head, so that the hair grows thick!"

If the child's parents do not have a thick head of hair, then even if they shave it at least 20 times, this will not improve the quality of the hair. Hair density is completely dependent on genetics. (read on the topic: a child's haircut at a year old is a necessity or a tradition)

6. "The child should be bathed in hot water, otherwise he will catch a cold."

Well, not in boiling water at once? And then they wonder why the baby is afraid to swim and cries all the time in the bath?

7. "You need to lick your child's forehead every day - so as not to jinx it!"

Okay, at least the forehead ... what they can think of! All superstitions are the invention of lonely grandmothers who, having nothing to do, sit on benches and invent all kinds of nonsense ...

8. "If the eyes fester, you need to rinse with breast milk."

And then the child will generally have conjunctivitis. In this case, only a doctor with the prescribed medication will help.

9. "A baby needs a pillow from birth"

In general, a pillow for a baby, especially for a newborn, is a dangerous thing! He can burrow into it and suffocate. A child under two years old does not need any pillows; they interfere with the formation of the cervical vertebrae.

10. "You can't show a baby to anyone in the first month of life!"

This is from the same opera about the "evil eye". It is better, of course, not to bring a lot of people, all the same, microbes can bring different ones.

And this is only a small part of all grandmother's instructions! But many mothers strictly follow every advice, trusting grannies. and some just try not to spoil the relationship with them, listening to every such nonsense. Sad, isn't it? But this is the health of our children! Grandmothers, come to your senses! It's the 21st century!
