Why encourage newborn to swim?
Swimming enables newborn to grow physically and mentally.a) To a newborn, it is very important for them to eliminate the fear of a new environment. When a newborn starts to swim, it is as though they are back to the mother’s womb, allowing them to move freely, helping them to adapt to the “outer world” via the “inner world” environment.b) Swimming helps to develop newborn’s brain development.A newborn’s brain is very fragile, however it grows very fast. Due to the rapid development of the brain, the stimulation of the brain during the first 2 years of a newborn is extremely important.The stimulation of the brain works best of newborn 0-6 months. The skin is extremely sensitive to touch and stimulation via swimming. Swimming helps the newborn to be aware of his/her surroundings, which inertly develops his/her sight, hearing, and balance.c) Swimming helps newborn/baby to grow better.Other than a healthy diet, exercise is also a key factor for newborn/babies growth.
