How advantageous to be an adult and have the power to change what we do not like. What a disadvantage to be a baby and not having the ability to change what they do not like. How valuable being a father or mother and having the opportunity to change what our baby does not like. As adults, in addition to being faithful to our emotions, we can execute the necessary actions that are faithful to that feeling. The discontent of an adult manifests itself in the form of stress, facial expressions such as grimaces, and altered emotions that eventually corner us towards a lack of inspiration, disgust and an intense desire to change that which causes us so much discomfort. Our great advantage is that if something is in our hands, we can decide to change it. If a friend causes us disgust, we can tell him; If we do not like our work, we can look for another one; If our children ignore us, we change our discipline techniques.
A baby is also true to his emotions, but his actions are limited. A baby can show us his dislike or taste for things with a body expression like the agitation of his body, a look, a smile, and his most powerful form of communication, his cry. In his own way, he is taking an action to be able to change what he does not like. Through these means of communication, he tries to tell us what he wants to change or causes him concern. However,
a small child can not directly ask us to carry them more in arms, to attend to their tears immediately, not to let them cry so they learn to sleep alone; You can not avoid our parenting methods if you do not like them, go to sleep next to us if you wish, etc. ...
Because of this great difference between adults and babies, as parents it is important to be attentive to the attitudes and reactions of our babies. Thus, in a certain way we can compensate for that impotence with which they are equipped. Best of all, every day, even from pregnancy, we have the privilege of being guided by our children, adapting to their needs; each gesture or mode of communication (even if it is a movement of little hands) can tell us something. By observing many babies during their birth, and my sister babies,she have created a list of things that really do not seem to like babies.
You may wonder how it is possible that as a child you do not like something, the answer is simple:
what expression is your baby sharing? Hopefully it is not crying because of discomfort, or restlessness, and remember that babies are sensitive and aware beings who also have fear, pain and a multitude of emotions that accompany every human being.
what babies do NOT like:
- Stress. Maternal stress during pregnancy can affect the baby, to the extent of disturbing their behavior. Recordings by means of ultrasounds have revealed facial expressions of babies that are assimilated to that of crying. And when they are born, babies are geniuses in capturing the emotions of their parents, so if someone is sad, it is possible that your baby perceives it and in a certain way, gets infected with that energy.
There are procedures that are necessary to ensure the welfare of the baby, unfortunately, perhaps like you, also your baby cause discomfort. Some examples are amniocentesis, which presents a small risk of pricking the baby; Ultrasounds, something that is still investigated for the possible consequences that could have for the baby. Recordings show reactions of babies where they seem to be frightened. When the vacuum cleaner is born, although sometimes necessary, it is not pleasant at all.
- The intense lights. After living in a dark place for nine months, the intense lights of the hospital, the rays of the sun or the camera flash can temporarily discomfort them. An inhuman birth. Luckily, hanging a baby's foot and spanking is a thing of the past in most countries. However, the brusque treatment, the separation of the mother, and the multiple interventions are still cause of annoyance between these new viditas. Do not ignore them or leave them alone. Your displeasure will manifest itself in the form of crying, something that alters your hormones, raising your stress levels and can later cause problems in adult life. Small mammals are social beings that need the presence and attention of someone to develop optimally.
Let them cry for a long time Besides that it causes them anxiety and eventually falls asleep (through exhaustion) the tremendous displeasure can cause that prolonged anguish to kill the cerebral synapses. Drastic temperature changes. They need time to adapt and that is why some young children are uncomfortable with baths, swimming pools, or when they are too warm and feel warm. Punctures They may be necessary, as in the case of vaccines or blood extractions. But yes, nobody likes to be pecked. The cuts. Nobody likes cuts, be it something small like in the nails, or in the face.
The most controversial cut, circumcision, is definitely something that a baby does not appreciate.
The dirt. The calls of your baby do not make you wait when you have a diaper that is dirty and wet. The perforations. The crying they express is the great sign of pain and disgust they feel about something they have no control over. Maybe bigger if you like those earrings your little one. 😉
The overstimulation. Too many noises, lights and voices can cause your little one to get a little upset.
The diseases. Everything that children suffer can cause them disgust, who likes congestion, chafing or fever?

If a baby would have to choose between strokes and discipline, I think he would choose the discipline that does not teach with violence. Physiologically, punishment activates the stress response.
The elimination of mucus. Nasal aspirators, saline drops and handkerchiefs are definitely not the baby's favorite products.
The strange surfaces. When your baby discovers a new surface, he may feel irritated. Maybe your baby cries when he feels the grass for the first time or the cold of the wood. Loud noises. Noises can scare your baby.
The shaking.No baby appreciates the shaking that can also cause serious damage.
The absence of touch. The caresses and hugs influence the development and present and future well-being of your baby. This is why your baby loves to be carried all the time. The baby who does not receive this love is not entirely happy or well.
