So what should a baby of three or four months pay attention to?
First, cultivate your baby's regular sleep.
Babies of three or four months sleep for about 16~ 18 hours every day, and need to sleep for about 2 hours three times during the day and about 10 hour at night.
If the baby does not have a good regular sleep, it will make the baby lose appetite and poor spirit, which will affect the baby's healthy growth and make parents feel exhausted. So we should help the baby to establish a regular sleep.
1 control the baby's sleep time during the day. If you want your baby to sleep well at night, you have to reduce your baby's sleep time during the day. Some babies fall asleep during the day and are in good spirits at night, so the reversal of black and white will affect the baby's biological clock and the secretion of growth hormone.
Gradually reduce the baby's sleep time during the day, you can take the baby out for activities, increase the baby's activity, and let the baby sleep well at night.
② Establish a bedtime process. One hour before going to bed at night, bathe and nurse your baby, and then play with your baby for a while. Don't get too excited about bedtime activities. You can play bedtime songs or stories to your baby, talk to your baby, and change your baby's clean diapers or diapers. Then the mother dimmed the lights, patted the baby's body and put the baby to sleep.
③ Quiet and comfortable sleeping environment. The baby's sleeping environment is very important. First of all, don't put extra toys in the baby's crib, and try to put only the baby's bedding to avoid accidents; Maintain indoor air circulation; When the baby sleeps, turn off the strong light and replace it with soft light or nightlight; Keep the surrounding environment quiet and let the baby sleep.
Second, the baby's diet.
Generally speaking, babies at this stage have formed a certain time pattern of breastfeeding, but they are basically fed on demand. Breastfed babies don't need to worry about their food intake. When they are hungry, they will naturally look for milk to eat. Babies fed with milk powder should pay attention to the fact that the total amount of milk the baby needs every day is about 1000 ml. Excessive, it is easy to cause baby obesity or anorexia.
At this time, the baby takes breast milk and milk powder as the staple food. It is not recommended to add complementary food too early, which will easily increase the baby's gastrointestinal burden and cause the baby's physical discomfort.
Third, teach the baby to turn over.
As the saying goes, "three turns and six sittings" means that the baby basically learns to turn over in three months. Turning over is the baby's first action, which mainly exercises the strength of the baby's spine and waist muscles, increases the flexibility of the baby's body, and lays the foundation for future actions. So how do you teach your baby to turn over?
Let the baby learn to sleep on his side, put toys on his left and right sides to attract the baby, and then the mother grabs the baby's foot and lets it touch the bed surface to help the baby turn over. At this time, the baby becomes prone.
Then let the baby lie flat, first train the baby from supine to lateral, and then help the baby from lateral to prone. In the process of this exercise, at the beginning, the baby may not be strong enough to turn well and need the help of his mother. Her mother held the baby's shoulder in her palm and helped her turn over with a little force. Let the baby have a rest after several exercises. After a period of practice, the mother will find that the baby will suddenly turn over by itself.
Fourth, take your baby to sunbathe.
Sunbathing means letting the sun shine directly on the baby. Through sunlight, it can promote the blood circulation of the baby's body, help the baby absorb calcium, promote the development of the baby's body bones and enhance the baby's physical resistance.
The best time for sunbathing is 9~ 1 1 every morning and 4~6 pm. Mothers can choose sunny and windless days to take their babies out in the sun.
Take the baby out to bask in the sun. It's summer. Put a sun hat on your baby and take him out when the sun is not too strong. Wipe your baby's sweat and replenish water in time. Mothers should pay attention to sunbathing when the baby is uncomfortable and sick.
Fifth, play games with your baby.
Babies grow up in games. Babies of three or four months have increased finger flexibility and are curious about everything around them. By playing games, the baby can not only exercise all aspects of the body, but also improve his observation and memory.
Hide and seek: Hide and seek is a baby's favorite game. Mother and baby face to face, mother and baby talk, smile, etc. Then cover your mother's face with a handkerchief, and the baby will feel strange. Why is mother missing? After a few seconds, the mother took the handkerchief and said to the baby with a smile, "Mom is coming." The baby will laugh happily. Playing hide-and-seek with your baby can not only make your baby happy, but also improve your baby's sensory cognitive ability.
Make faces: make exaggerated gestures, expressions or make strange sounds to your baby, so that your baby can be happy, imitate and enhance the parent-child relationship.
Toys: Toys are an indispensable part of the baby's game. Toys such as rattles and rattles are very suitable for babies to play with. These toys are brightly colored, can make pleasant sounds, can attract the baby's attention well, and can also exercise the baby's small hand grasping ability and finger flexibility. Slowly, the mother will find that the baby can pass the toy from left hand to right hand, and then from right hand to left hand.
In fact, the baby's growth process in each period has to go through many things, which can't be explained in a few words. Here are just some common and practical examples. The growth of every baby needs the patient guidance and careful observation of our parents, especially our mothers, to accompany the baby with love.
The baby of three or four months just learned to turn over. It can be said that the baby at this stage is particularly easy to take. This good belt is better than other big sports of the baby. For example, children who can crawl and run can wear it.
Babies of three or four months should pay attention to:
Security issues. We often say three turns and six sittings. The baby of three or four months has just learned to turn over. Sometimes, if the mother is not careful, the baby may change from supine to prone, may fall to the ground, may not lie down for too long, or the posture is wrong, which will block the child's nose and mouth. Therefore, you should always be cautious when taking care of a baby of three or four months old.
The baby of three or four months has just learned to eat hands, and the fun every day is to put your fingers in your mouth. This is the first step for a baby to know the world with his mouth. Don't stop him, just keep his little hands clean at all times.
Pay attention to vaccinating children on time. Many of the baby's vaccines are vaccinated in infancy, especially before the child is half a year old. Because there are many vaccines, don't forget the time.
The four-month-old baby has been able to distinguish colors. Parents can provide some colorful pictures and cards for the baby to hang in the child's room, or they can put colored balls in the child's sight to fully stimulate the baby's vision, which is of great help to the baby's understanding of colors.
Babies of three or four months grow fastest. At this time, the baby's weight is generally more than double that at birth, and the height growth will be relatively slow, so most babies will look a little fatter.
Although babies in this period are not as fragile as newborns and relatively easy to take care of, there are still many places to pay attention to.
What should a baby of three or four months pay attention to? 1, the law of cultivating sleep
At this time, the baby's sleep time is much less than in previous months. Most babies sleep for 2 hours in the morning and afternoon, fall asleep at 8: 00 or 9: 00 at night, and only wake up 1-2 times at night. For such a baby, mom and dad are more worried. Some babies can't fall asleep until late, and even don't want to fall asleep as long as someone is around. The parents of such babies are also very annoyed. For such a baby, parents can increase the time of outdoor activities during the day and fall asleep more easily at night.
Step 2 feed
3, 4-month-old babies, in terms of feeding, continue to breast-feed, formula milk powder feeding or advocate continuing milk powder feeding, but mothers should also learn some complementary food knowledge to prepare for the baby to add complementary food.
3. Four Seasons Nursing
If the baby is 3 or 4 months old, it happens to be spring or autumn, and then the baby's head has been raised steadily, it can be held out to contact the sun and air.
If you catch up with summer, some babies' appetite will drop, but as long as they are in good spirits, there is no problem. In hot summer, the baby sweats a lot, so you can replenish water to the baby appropriately.
If you catch up with winter and the weather is warm, you can take your baby out to bask in the sun and take care of your baby's hands and feet when you go out.
4, vertical hug should pay attention to protect the head and neck and back.
The baby of 3-4 months has learned to look up, the spine is well developed, and the strength of the head and neck is sufficient. At this time, you can hold the baby vertically from time to time, and you will find that the baby will be particularly curious about everything around him and keep looking back and forth.
But when holding vertically, you should pay attention to protect your baby's head, neck and back with your hands to avoid injury.
5, toys should be big, in case the baby accidentally swallows.
At this time, the baby likes to explore new things with his mouth, so when playing with toys for his baby, he should pay attention to giving him large toys to avoid accidental injury caused by swallowing toys.
In addition, when the baby chews toys and clothes, he will definitely drool a lot. Mother should pay attention to clean the baby in time and change clothes and saliva towels frequently.
6. Increase parent-child interaction
At this time, the baby especially likes his mother's closeness. You might as well make him laugh, tell him stories, sing children's songs and chat more. At this time, the baby will respond to you with babbling, and you will feel particularly happy and sweet.
7. Watch out for the baby falling out of bed
Most babies fall out of bed for the first time at 3-4 months. Although many times, there is no danger to the baby's life when he falls off the bed, in order to avoid the baby's injury, it is best to put a pillow next to the bed at last, and the interval between inspections should not be too long.
Step 8 vaccinate
When the baby is 3 or 4 months old, he should be vaccinated with polio vaccine and DTP vaccine. Infants with colds, fever, acute diseases and diarrhea should suspend vaccination. Infants allergic to milk can be vaccinated with liquid polio vaccine, and DPT vaccine is prohibited.
In order to answer this question. I went to dig out Bao Qiang's video and my diary.
When the baby enters three or four months, your most obvious feeling is that he can communicate, and seeing his mother will smile from the heart will make him feel more interactive. I think it is enough to grasp two points when the baby is healthy at this parenting stage.
1, establish a routine.
2. Provide abundant stimulation.
Let me start with these two aspects.
Establish work and rest rules
Bao Qiang has basically been able to sleep for 3-4 months. He gets up at 7: 00, goes to bed at 0: 00 to 3: 00, goes to bed at 5: 00 to 6: 00, and starts to sleep at 8: 00. During this month, I found that if I can walk outside in the morning, he can sleep perfectly, and two naps during the day are enough.
We stick to the firm rule of feeding at 7: 30, and even traveling and returning to our hometown can't stop us. I also had a quarrel with my in-laws about it. Anyway, I was a little crazy.
But I soon realized the benefits of doing so. From that time until the child is two and a half years old now, it has always been an early starting point, 8-9 pm, and it will be repeated occasionally, but it is definitely not normal. Otherwise, I don't have time to take care of the children and do self-media at the same time. Many articles were written by me at night, and in the afternoon after he fell asleep.
Provide abundant stimulation
Many treasure mothers think that their children are still young and don't know anything. When they look after children, they just look at them and take care of their daily lives. But in fact, the most effective way for children to develop their intelligence at this stage is to provide a variety of rich stimuli. I think I'm doing very well in this respect, because the baby can talk and walk at about 1 year old.
Many people I met on the road thought that children's language developed very well, so the teacher in the early education center affirmed my efforts in early education. Anyway, look at our schedule.
1, morning: get up song, get up and fuck.
When you open your eyes, greet the day with a song, sing along with children's songs, and sing with his little legs and feet.
2. Morning: Family sports meeting
Turn over, lie prone, bask in the sun, and do exhaust exercise.
3. Afternoon: picture books and game time.
Talk about a picture book with a good sense of rhythm, or let him look at the bright colors and recite Tang poems occasionally. Play catch.
4. Evening: Take a walk to get in touch with nature.
When the weather is cool and comfortable, pushing him out to contact with nature will let the baby catch natural objects such as grass, leaves and stones. The key is to keep a dialogue with him, which is an early language input.
5. Travel: Visit scenic spots.
If dad comes back from a business trip and has a lot of time, we will take the baby to museums, nearby park squares and other places to give him more fresh excitement.
Other problems I encountered.
In addition to daily care, mothers may encounter some other problems when their children are 3-4 months old. Let me tell you what happened to me.
About eczema: Bao Qiang is very sensitive. Eczema is high at this stage. I insist on moisturizing and taking a bath at low water temperature to relieve it.
About the retrogression of sleep: the reason for turning over leads to waking yourself up directly in the middle of the night. Hang in there, it will be all right after a while.
This question is rather general. Below, I will talk about the growth and development characteristics of three or four-month-old babies and the places that need attention in hospital care.
Growth and development: the baby will grow very fast in the first three months, but it will slow down after the first three months. During this period, the baby will stay awake for a longer time during the day, can have some interaction with his parents, can clearly distinguish his parents' voices, have a sense of the external environment, make babbling sounds, giggle, learn to turn over by himself, and prone to lying down.
Feeding:
1. Four-month-old babies still drink breast milk or formula. Some babies who drink formula milk can add some rice flour appropriately and slowly add root puree. Don't add rice noodles in a hurry, from a small amount to a variety, and it is best for breast-fed babies to add rice noodles after six months.
2. It can help the baby turn over, guide the baby to climb forward, and grab the hanging toys.
3. During this period, the baby's saliva increased, so it is necessary to pay attention to help the baby wipe it off in time.
4. Continue to help the baby do touch massage and stick to touch, which can help the baby stimulate the development of sensory nerves.
5. Need to strengthen nursing. The baby turns over in a flash. Don't think that the baby can leave without turning over for a short time.
6. You can take your baby for more outdoor walks to adapt your baby to the natural environment.
…………………………………………
What should a baby of three or four months pay attention to? Babies of three or four months have learned many skills. Parents should pay special attention to safety and interact with their babies more. When the weather is fine, take their babies out.
The above is my answer, I hope it helps.
This problem can be big or small, complex or simple, so let's pick some major and easily overlooked things to talk about.
First of all, we need to pay special attention to safety. Statistics show that babies of three or four months are at the peak of falls. Many parents often ignore it when they think that the baby will not turn over. In fact, many babies can already move their bodies, and even if they are left unattended for a short time, they need to pull up the guardrail of the crib. In addition, during this time, babies like to eat their hands, and they will also grab things and stuff them in their mouths, so it is also important to avoid eating and inhaling by mistake. There should be no danger anywhere the baby can touch, so as to avoid accidental injury.
Second, life care needs to keep up with the baby's changes. Although the overall diet will increase, there will often be fluctuations in each meal. Don't force your baby to eat more. Sleep is easy to fluctuate during this time, especially during the day. It is necessary to adjust the schedule according to the baby's changes, otherwise it will be easy to get into trouble later.
Third, we should constantly enrich the game activities to meet the baby's development needs. The baby of three or four months is obviously more active than before. Although the ability of active sports and games is not very strong, the demand and impulse of games are not what they used to be. Babies will like all kinds of game activities such as chasing, quarreling, grabbing enough, looking up and even turning over. Only when they play well can they eat well and sleep well.
Finally, after three or four months of understanding, mothers should be familiar with the baby's personality characteristics and be able to distinguish the specific meanings of different cries. Parents who are not sure need to hurry up to make up lessons. Let's go
For more parenting knowledge, please refer to "Knowing Children, Knowing Love-Beibei Mother's Parenting Classic" published by People's Health Publishing House.
The "Children Know Love" parenting science team of Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center warmly reminds parents:
Understanding is love-parents know, and children grow up.
Let's talk about something to be wary of first. My nephew, about 3.4 months old, is cooking in the kitchen. I didn't expect him to toss and turn like this. When he heard a bang, his nephew burst into tears. My sister ran to the bedroom and saw that his nephew had turned over on the ground. There was a cup blocking the bed, but I don't know how the little guy moved, so he fell to the ground in such a gorgeous way. The first fall in life.
Three or four months old baby, but with long skills, you can tease yourself over and over again.
Therefore, we must pay attention to the baby's safety at this stage.
At this stage, the baby's vision has also developed greatly, and he can distinguish colors. I remember buying my son a colorful book and showing it to him when he woke up. It is said that babies at this stage are particularly interested in red and yellow. At this stage, you can also buy bed bells with music and bright colors.
At this stage, the baby's hands have a certain strength and can grasp things. You can buy him some lovely rattles with bright colors. Buy good quality, not too small, because it is impossible to hold the little guy in your mouth.
At this stage, the baby's spine and neck have gradually hardened. At this time, the baby's desire to explore the world is very strong, especially when holding vertically, the small eyes are not enough and look around.
You can hold the baby vertically. Also protect the baby's head and neck vertically, and you can lie on your mother's shoulder.
If the baby at this stage has baldness, and it is easy to wake up, cry in the middle of the night and often sweat, when these symptoms appear, it is to remind Ma Bao that the baby needs proper calcium supplementation.
At this stage, the baby has begun to interact with adults. He will babble with you, and his parents will make him giggle. At this stage, he can communicate with his baby more and play more music and songs at ordinary times, which is a good enlightenment.
In terms of diet, the baby will soon be able to add complementary food, and some will add it early, starting from 4 months. At this time, Ma Bao might as well reserve more knowledge about complementary food to prepare for the baby to add complementary food smoothly.
