Bedong or lampin has been used for generations since ancient times to wrap the baby's body, especially newborns. Generally, bamboo is meant to help babies feel comfortable and able to sleep peacefully.
However, babies may also invite medical risks, such as infant warming, pelvic dysplasia, respiratory infections, and even Sudden Death Infant Syndrome (SIDS) Sudden Death Infant Syndrome (Sudden Death Infant Syndrome). In order to avoid these risks, parents and caregivers are encouraged to know what conditions are allowing or even harmful to the baby and how safe the technique is.
Bubble can be a useful way to calm a baby when they are fussy and have trouble sleeping. This kind of baby wrap technique makes the little one feel inside the womb, a familiar environment for her. In addition, the bedong can also reduce the shock reflex in babies who can wake the sleep. Thanks to the membedong, babies can sleep comfortably without interruption, while parents can also have time off.
But be careful because membedong infants are too tight or use a sweaty swaddle cloth, and do not pay attention to the condition of the baby when dibedong can bring harm. For example like the following.
Pelvic dysplasia
Make sure you do not membedong baby too tightly because it is feared can affect the development and movement in the future. When swaddling the baby, give space to his feet so that his pelvis can move freely, like moving the legs up and down.
If the bedong is too tight with the legs tightened and straightened, there is the possibility of the baby having problems with the pelvis, such as the condition of pelvic dysplasia, ie when the hip joints are not parallel to each other. When this happens, the hip joint can be difficult to function properly. This is because when in the womb, the baby's legs are in a crooked position and cross each other so that if Mother forces it to be strictly straight, then the joints can dislocate and eventually damage the cartilage.
Respiratory infections
Swaddling the baby is too tight can also make the small risk of overheating and experiencing respiratory infections. Make sure your baby does not feel hot at night. In addition, select a bedong from a thin cotton cloth so the baby is not hot.
Sudden infant death syndrome in infants (SIDS)
SIDS is a term used to describe babies younger than one year and looking healthy, suddenly dying without any known cause. SIDS often occurs when the baby is sleeping. The risk of SIDS appears to be elevated in infant swaddled and placed in a face-down or sideways position, according to a study. SIDS can also occur when baby cribs are too loose so that risky cloth shifts and covers the baby's mouth and nose.
