Hello everyone, today, to share with you the care methods of babies who have just been born or are a few months old.
First: the baby should develop a good eating and sleeping routine.
Eating and sleeping is one of the first "skills" that babies learn after birth. The baby should be given a relatively stable sleep law, which is generally gradually formed within 2-3 months of the baby's birth by living with the mother.

Moms who have just been "promoted" to become mothers can follow the following principles: they should let the baby fall asleep before 9 pm; Babies who have not reached 3 months should sleep 15-16 hours a day; As for the baby after 3 months, the daily sleep time should reach 12-13 hours. At the same time, to have a relatively stable feeding law, the baby is best to drink milk every 2-3 hours, which means that the number of times to drink milk every day should reach 8-12 times.
If your baby is irritable and the newly "promoted" parent feels tired, don't feed or let your baby sleep at this time, because this is not the "right time" to breastfeed or sleep. At this time, parents must not ask their children to do as they wish. At this time, you should gently pat the baby's back or ass, and some tools are also conducive to comforting the baby, such as some shakers and the like.
Second: Give your baby a space to play on his own.
Most new mothers and new fathers are particularly afraid of the baby "leaving" their side, in fact, let the baby learn to find their own joy, is an important breakthrough in the growth process. While babies need to be cared for throughout the day, parents should also give them the opportunity to play independently.
In ordinary times, the baby himself will find a way to "knock down" loneliness, and excessive concern will only prevent him from exploring new worlds and new things. What parents have to do is to create a safe environment and atmosphere under the monitoring and observation of adults. Also encourage the baby to play by himself, for example, after the baby wakes up, you can give the baby a little "personal time", those who immediately go to hold the baby to play, although it is not wrong, but here Azi does not encourage this. At this time, it is necessary to observe that he wants to do something himself. With such a short period of time, the nursing parents can also take a break, but also let the baby find their own happiness, learn how to spend boring time, find "their own fun".
Third: Sleep in a separate bed from your baby, but don't make any other room, preferably next to your own bed.
This is one of the most discussed topics for most moms and dads.
Although there is nothing wrong with the baby sleeping with the parents, most parenting experts do not recommend this, not only because the parents are easy to wake up the baby, but most importantly, the amount of carbon dioxide that the adult breathes is large, which is easy to make the baby's body condition.
More importantly, if the parents accidentally press the baby after falling asleep, it is easy to cause the baby to suffocate, and even the baby... Get it?
Therefore, the newborn baby should have his own bed, but in the same room as his parents, that is, "separate beds and no rooms". The crib should be large enough and not too soft, otherwise it will affect the baby's bone development. When sleeping, parents should wrap up the clothes that have not yet been born and do not know how to turn over, but the baby's arms and hands must be taken out to allow him to move freely. After the baby can turn over, the bed should be large enough for him to move freely, but there must be something around to stop him from flipping over and falling to the ground.
