It has been scientifically proven that babies are born with innate reflexes for swimming and diving, and we reveal to you what you should adhere to if you take your baby to the pool.
Diving reflex, a baby is born with it. When you let her dive, she will hold her breath and open her eyes. Over time, this reflex weakens, so you have to teach older children how to hold their breath if they want to dive (although that reflex is never completely lost).
Despite the innate reflexes, you should not leave the baby alone in the water for even a second, because there is always a danger of water being swallowed.
Swedish scientists conducted a study in which 21 babies, aged between four and twelve months, participated. None of them swallowed the water or choked when they dived into the water. It is also interesting that no baby was scared of the next "dive". On the contrary, it seemed to make them happy. However, we must note that you should never try the diving reflex on your baby yourself, because it could be dangerous!
Here is an example. The girl Arabel is only one year and nine months old, and she jumps into the pool without fear and feels like a real little fish in it. Even when her parents let her go, she swims to the edge of the pool quite calmly, and of course, like any child when he has something fun - he wants more! (2015)
The most important thing is certainly security. You must take care not to leave the baby alone in the water for a second, ie. pool. Also, be careful not to swim while holding the baby - because it can be very dangerous, but always lean your feet on the bottom of the pool.
Although many babies enjoy being in the water and "swimming", don't expect your child to really swim until his first birthday. First of all, you should understand swimming training for babies as a joint fun, which you and your baby enjoy.
i think we have even more talent in our body.I mean some repressed reflexes.
