So, ma'am-sir, take your baby swimming. Although still a baby, no problem. In fact, the newborn was not going to sink when released into the water.
Results of research in Melbourne, Australia, showed statistically IQ of children who are taught to swim as a baby higher than children who are not taught to swim or be taught to swim after age 5 years. The children were measured his IQ when they were aged 10 years. Not only that, the physical growth, emotional and social even better.
Other research has shown that babies are taught to swim more easily than adults, because babies have never had the X factor such danger. Is not the baby does not understand the danger? After all, babies love the water so that he too would like to be invited to swim. Well, this makes it easier to learn to swim.
In addition, the newborn until the age of 3 months can be directly nyemplung into the water without fear of drowning, because at that age, he has a lot of uses reflex step to swim. "Stepping reflex is a reflex that accompanies the baby as well as the grasping reflex and reflex walking," explained Dr. Karel Staa from Pondok Indah Hospital, who is also a former 200-meter record holder swimmer breaststroke in 1960-1962.
So, if we put the baby under 3 months of age in the water, it will automatically move their legs like a dog paddle, so do not drown. That said, at the age under 3 months of your baby can swim with primitive style. Not that after that age, babies can not swim anymore, lo. Although reflexes had disappeared, he still can perform swimming movements, although not organized or disheveled. You see, with no gravity, he felt pressured from below the water so he could float. He was so happy.
Especially since the mother's abdomen, the baby was also already swimming in amniotic fluid for 9 months. After birth, the ability to swim just to stay upgraded. In fact, this swim was so popular, abroad until there is delivery process carried out in the water, lo. "Medically, this is not going to cause problems because it is a natural process." So, there's no reason to hesitate to invite your child to swim, yes, ma'am, sir.
BE SAFE
The important note, when swimming baby should feel secure and indeed there should be safety. So, parents should accompany. This is an absolute requirement, lo. "If parents are both into the water and swim together with the baby, then in addition to feel safe, the baby can feel there is no response from parents," said Karel.
Besides, with accompanying parents can also play with the baby so that there is interaction between people. "This is one of the benefits of swimming." Just compare when the new baby learn to sit or walk, whether parents will accompany and perform the same movements continuously with the child? Kan, baseball. "Well, another swim. They both entered the water, swim together, so enjoy its flavor more. It will be useful for the psychological development of children." That is why, the parents should come with playing in the water.
Of course, swimming is also useful for growth. "Motor develops more rapidly than he was just playing on the floor." Is not the swim, all the muscle work? Now, if on the floor, only certain muscles are working. Especially if the mother gives the baby so the baby walker so used to walking with it. Finally, muscle movements become limited because only certain muscles are working.
WATCH THE WATER HYGIENE
Well, now the mother-father more stable, right, invite your child to swim? But swimming at home, yes, if you age your child is still under 6 months, in order to control the cleanliness and temperature of the water. Do not forget, in this age baby's immature digestive enzymes. So, when he was accidentally swallowing water when swimming is not clean, can cause diarrhea, vomiting, and so forth.
Not that the house must have a swimming pool, lo. After all, many things that can be used as a substitute for swimming pools such as bathtubs, large bucket, bathtub, and others. Well, get used to baby play on it. "Actually, when the baby was a bath or water play is one way to recognize or appreciate the water on the child," said Karel.
After the babies aged 6 months upwards then bring it to the pool is open or public. "But I have to choose, yes. Maybe in Indonesia is still difficult for us, right, baseball has a special swimming pool baby. Even the most swimming pools in Jakarta, which used water-that's all, muter them there. He turned the engine wear and added chlorine and the leaves or droppings removed; newly replaced once a month. " This is because the difficulty of water sources in Jakarta. Others with the mountain town such as Bogor and Cibodas, "they have a swimming pool where the water flows."
So, if want to carry a baby to swim in public swimming pools, select the appropriate time, ie when a swimming pool is still in clean condition, usually in the morning. "The weather is also to be adjusted, should not more than 31 or 32 degrees Celsius." Especially for the first month-old baby, the temperature is 34-35 degrees Celsius.
Other hygiene must be observed is kaporitnya, "not too saturated, because chlorine can cause irritation of the skin, eyes, and others." Size defined for the child chlorine is 6-8 ppm. Be careful, lo, Bu-Pak, if the baby already feel traumatized because her eyes were sore, for example, next will be a constraint.
FOR RECREATION
Remember, do not let parents take the baby to swim to pursue achievement because its primary purpose is recreation. Several medical associations abroad even children say, swimming in children under 4 years of age should not be a goal to pursue the achievement. On top of that age then the parents can teach swim styles that are targeted for achievement.
In other languages, baby swim just for fun. "Starting at age one year is directed at so-so performance, but not by way pressured," says Karel. For example, every day must swim 50 meters back and forth. You see, at that age he could follow the movements are done swimming parents. Similarly, one year old baby who likes to get angry because seeing their parents who like to get angry, as well as swimming. "If parents like to swim in a style that is good enough then he will follow."
So, invite your child to swim for his health first, yes, ma'am, sir. Problem-style pool will follow automatically if he had liked. Do not forget, when with her, Mother-Father also had fun, lo, not because of necessity.
