3、In your 5S theory, “swaddling” means to wrap up the baby tight to help him to be kept in control. However, I am wondering if the tight-wrap will obstruct the bone development of the baby? As we know the baby born with curved legs, will “swaddling” make him uncomfortable?
3. 在您的五S理论里,“襁褓法”意思是通过把婴儿用襁褓包紧来有效控制他/她的哭闹行为。但我想知道的是,这样紧绷地包裹婴儿会不会阻碍他/她骨骼的发育?因为我们知道有的婴儿天生罗圈腿,“襁褓法”会不会使他/她感到不适?
Dr.Karp:IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO SWADDLE A BABY PROPERLY. THEY SHOULD NEVER BE OVERHEATED, OR PLACED TO SLEEP ON THE STOMACH…AND THE ARMS SHOULD BE TIGHTLY SWADDLED…OR THE SWADDLING WILL BECOME UNRAVELED AND WILL NOT WORK. HOWEVER, THE LEGS SHOULD ALWAYS BE ABLE TO MOVE AND BEND A BIT. A BABY’S LEGS SHOULD NEVER BE HELD STRAIGHTENED AND WRAPPED TIGHTLY TOGETHER.
Dr.Karp:适度包裹婴儿显得非常重要。绝不能让他们有过热的感觉,也不能让他们趴着睡觉。而且要把胳膊裹得紧紧的,否则不久就会松开,这样就起不了任何作用。但要让他们的腿有一定的活动空间,可以微微地弯曲。绝不能把婴儿的腿拉直,再把双腿紧紧地裹在一起。
4、You think sucking is “icing on the cake” in your book. We can calm a baby by make him suck mom’s breast, but will that increase the risk of overfeeding?
4. 在您的书中,您把婴儿吃奶比作“蛋糕上的糖衣”。我们可以通过喂婴儿吃奶来安抚小家伙的情绪,但这会不会导致婴儿进食过量呢?
ONCE A BABY IS CALMED USING THE OTHER 4 S’S THEN THE SUCKING WILL PUT THE BABY INTO A PROFOUND AND DEEP LEVEL OF CALM. IT IS EASY TO PREVENT OVERFEEDING AT THAT TIME… WHEN YOU WANT TO CAKM YOUR BABY WITH THE BREAST AFTER HE HAS EATTEN A FULL MEAL STOP SWITCHING HIM FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER AND JUST KEEP THE BABY ON ONE BREAST.
一旦用其他4个S的技巧平缓婴儿情绪,之后,喂婴儿吃奶会让他/她安静下来,进入更深层次的平静。在这个时候防止婴儿进食过量是很容易的,婴儿在吃饱后,如果你想通过让他/她吃奶缓和情绪,只让他吸食一侧乳房,而不要让他/她两侧间递地吃。
ACTUALLY THE 5 S’S HELP PREVENT OVERFEEDING BECAUSE SOME MOTHERS USE FEEDING TO CALM THE BABY WHENEVER SHE IS UPSET…ONCE THEY KLEARN THE 5 S’S THE PARENTS SUDDENLY HAVE MANY MORE WAYS TO CALM THE BABY AND THEY NO LONGER NEED TO FEED WITH EVERY FUSSY PERIOD.
实际上,5S可以帮助防止婴儿进食过量,因为有些母亲只要自己心情烦乱,就会让孩子吃奶。一旦母亲学会了5个S,很快她就会有更多的方式来安抚婴孩,而且不会心情一烦乱就喂奶了。
5、Many pediatricians suggest parents to treat baby colic by Simethiocone, what’s your opinion on that?
5. 很多儿科医生建议父母使用二甲基硅油来治疗婴儿的疝气,对此您怎么看?
UNFORTUNATELY, SIMETHICONE IS OF NO SPECIAL BENEFIT FOR FUSSY BABIES. TWO EXCELLENT MEDICAL STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT GIVING A BABY PLAIN WATER DOES AS MUCH GOOD AS GIVING SIMETHICONE.
可惜的是,二甲基硅油对爱哭闹的孩子没有什么特别的作用。两项先进医学研究表明,给婴儿喝白开水对婴儿可达到二甲基硅油同样的效果。
