In fact, it is easy to raise a baby, but it is not difficult to say it is difficult. Especially for babies before one year old, there are developmental characteristics and maintenance priorities every month. As long as parents get these parenting knowledge in advance, they can take better care of their babies, reduce diseases and become "angel babies".
For example, for babies less than 100 days, old people often say "sleep in January, cry in February, and have a stomachache in March". This is the development law of the baby in the first three months. Novice parents learn together, and you will know what is going on after reading it, which will make you take care of your baby more smoothly.
When the baby is in the mother's belly, every day, except for fetal movement, most of the rest time is sleeping.
In the first month of life, that is, the newborn period, it is in a transitional stage, and the baby sleeps as long as 16-20 hours every day, with little waking time.
And this state just meets the needs of the baby's rapid growth and development after birth. Some novice mothers will worry about "why the baby is always sleeping", which are the two reasons. Don't worry after reading it. Most of them are normal phenomena.
As the baby grows up, the sleep time will gradually shorten. The baby sleeps for about 15- 18 hours and 6- 12 months every day for about 14- 16 hours after birth. Novice parents should also know this.
Ma Jing suggested:
If the baby falls asleep, the mother thinks it's time to nurse the baby. In the case of not waking up, gently stimulate the baby's mouth with NT, and the baby will "wake up to eat milk".
But if the baby sleeps for more than 4 hours in a row, even in a daze, be careful and see a doctor if necessary.
Babies should also pay attention to safety issues when sleeping. The safest sleeping position recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics is sleeping on your back. If the baby spits milk, he can also sleep on his side, but adults must watch when sleeping on his side to prevent the baby's mouth and nose from being blocked and suffocated.
My friend's baby, almost 2 months old, told me a few days ago that the baby would cry as soon as he opened his eyes and it was difficult to fall asleep.
This situation is strongest from 6 pm to 1 1. After feeding, you can be quiet for about 10 minutes, then you start to cry, it is difficult to fall asleep, then you wake up and cry again. She said that the four adults were about to be crushed by the baby, and she didn't know what happened.
There should be many novice parents who are the same baby for about two months, right?
However, what the hell is going on?
First of all, the baby at this stage is in the soaring period, and too fast growth and development will bring some stimulation to the bones and body, causing the baby to cry.
Secondly, the baby at this stage is also prone to flatulence and colic. For example, if the feeding method is not correct, the baby will take in too much air when breastfeeding, and after feeding, he will not burp, and the intake of air will start to "do mischief" in the baby's stomach, making the baby cry, fight, flatulence and fart.
Thirdly, about two months later, the baby's nervous system is still developing. It is easy to be stimulated by the outside world, such as noise and light. And the baby will have a fright reflex, which will disturb the baby's sleep and make him fidgety and cry.
Finally, if the mother fails to catch the baby's "demand signal" in time, such as not feeding on demand, not finding the baby's defecation and pulling in time, and not satisfying the baby when he wants to hug, then he will also make the "ultimate big move"-crying.
Ma Jing suggested:
In the face of the baby crying in February, parents should first understand what causes the baby to cry.
Timely and correctly feed the baby, burp after feeding, and reduce the trouble of flatulence and colic.
In normal life, reduce the stimulation of external factors to the baby, such as strong light and loud voice, and wrap the baby in swaddling clothes and put on a sleeping bag to prevent jumping.
Spend more time with your baby, give comfort in time, and increase your baby's sense of security.
Before, a mother told me that her baby had a terrible stomachache. She only defecates for eight or nine days, and at most it takes eleven days. She was so anxious that she almost used soap bars, and finally the baby pulled herself.
After about three months, the baby's digestion and absorption function will gradually improve, the digestion ability will gradually increase, and the baby's defecation frequency will begin to decrease.
Relatively speaking, breast milk is easier to digest and absorb than formula milk, and there will be less residue left after digestion and absorption, and the number of defecation will be reduced. But it is not absolute. Different babies have individual differences.
But basically after three months, the frequency of baby's defecation is reduced and the interval between defecation is prolonged, which may be what we often say, not necessarily constipation.
Ma Jing suggested:
If the baby doesn't defecate for a few days, the mother doesn't have to worry too much. She can adjust her diet structure and baby's feeding appropriately, and observe closely at the same time. As long as the baby eats well, sleeps well and is in a good mental state, most of them are squatting.
However, if the baby has the performance of defecation, his face is flushed, and there is a lump in his abdomen, it may be constipation, so we should pay attention to investigating the cause. If it is serious or unclear, it is best to see a doctor in time.
In short, every month, the baby has its own developmental characteristics. Parents should learn some parenting knowledge in advance to understand the characteristics of the baby at different stages of development, so as to accurately judge whether it is normal and deal with it correctly.
Finally, I recommend a column for parents to raise 0- 12-month-old babies: the development, feeding and nursing of 0- 12-month-old babies, which is very detailed. Novice parents should take care of their babies every month.
In the form of video, the column explains the baby's development characteristics, common problems in feeding and nursing, the key points and methods of early education, and the recommendation of age-appropriate toys. From birth to one year old, it is detailed and practical, suitable for novice parents to raise their babies on a monthly basis.
Original price 199 yuan. At the end of the year, the price of fans only needs 49 yuan.
