After having a baby, the baby becomes the focus of the whole family, and the emotions of the whole family will be "moody" with the baby's changes every day. The baby unlocks new skills, eats well and sleeps well, the whole family smiles; the baby cries and cries, there are small problems, the whole family is nervous and worried...
In fact, raising a baby is easy and not easy, but it is not difficult to say. Especially before the age of one year, every month has development characteristics and maintenance priorities, parents as long as they get these parenting knowledge in advance, they can take better care of the baby, reduce illness, and become an "angel baby".
For example, the baby within 100 days, the old people often say "january sleep February cry march stomach", this is the development of the baby in the first three months, novice parents come to learn together, after reading it will know what is going on, will make you take the baby more smoothly.
January sleep: Sleep most of the day, even worrying about whether the baby is normal
When the fetal treasure is in the mother's belly, in addition to the daily fetal movement, the rest of the time is mostly sleeping.
In the first month of life, that is, the neonatal period, in the transitional phase, the baby sleeps for up to 16-20 hours a day and has very little time to wake up.
And this state also meets the needs of rapid growth and development of the baby after birth. Some new mothers will worry about "why the baby is always sleeping", which is these two reasons, after reading it, don't worry anymore, most of them are normal.
As the baby grows up, the sleep time will gradually shorten, 2-5 months of birth, the baby sleeps about 15-18 hours a day, 6-12 months of sleep is about 14-16 hours a day, which novice parents also need to know.
【Jing Mama's Suggestion】:
If the baby is asleep, the mother feels that it is time to feed the baby, do not wake up, gently stimulate the baby's mouth with NT, the baby will "wake up to feed".
But if your baby sleeps for more than 4 hours in a row, or even in a confused drowsiness, be careful and see a doctor if necessary.
The safest sleeping position recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics is to sleep on your back, if the baby has spit up milk, you can also sleep on your side, but when sleeping on your side, adults must watch next to it to prevent the baby's mouth and nose from being blocked and suffocation occurs.
February Crying: Cry every day, cry until the whole family is going to collapse!
A friend's baby, almost 2 months old, complained to me the other day that as long as the baby is open eyes, he will cry and make trouble, and it is difficult to sleep.
This situation is the most intense from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., after feeding can be quiet for about 10 minutes, and then it will start crying again, it is difficult to fall asleep, and then it will wake up again, and when she wakes up, she will cry again, she said that the four adults are about to be collapsed by the baby, and she does not know what to do.
There should be many new parents, to the baby about two months old, there is the same baby, right?
But what's wrong with that?
First of all, the baby at this stage is in a period of sharp growth, and too fast growth and development will bring certain stimulation to the bones and body, causing the baby to cry.
Secondly, the baby at this stage is also prone to flatulence and colic, such as incorrect feeding methods, let the baby eat too much air at the same time, do not burp after feeding, and the air eaten into it begins to "demonize" in the baby's belly, so that the baby cries, stiffens, swollen belly, stinky farts, etc.
Again, about two months of the baby's nervous system development is not yet complete, still developing, it is easy to be affected by adverse stimuli from the outside world, such as noise, light, etc., the baby will also have a jumping reflex, disturbing the baby's sleep, making him irritable, but also crying.
Finally, the mother failed to capture the baby's "demand signal" in time, such as no on-demand feeding, failed to find that the baby peed in time, and the baby did not meet in time when he wanted to hug, then he would also use the "ultimate trick" - crying.
In the face of a baby crying in February, parents must first understand what causes the baby to cry.
Timely and correct feeding of the baby, after feeding to hiccup, to reduce flatulence, intestinal colic trouble.
In ordinary life, reduce the stimulation of external factors on the baby, such as strong light, larger sounds, etc., you can also wrap the baby in swaddling, wear anti-jump sleeping bags, etc.
Spend more time with your baby and give comfort in time to increase your baby's sense of security.
March belly: eighty or ninety days do not have a bowel movement, in the end normal or abnormal?
Before a mother told me that her baby's stomach is particularly strong, it is eight or nine days to defecate once, the most time is eleven days, so anxious that she almost used a soap bar, and finally the baby pulled it herself.
For babies about three months, the digestion and absorption function begins to gradually develop and perfect, the digestive ability is gradually enhanced, and the number of babies' stools will begin to decrease.
Relatively speaking, breast milk is easier to digest and absorb than formula milk, and the residue left after digestion and absorption will be less, and the number of stools will be reduced. But it's not absolute, and there are individual differences between babies.
But basically to about three months, the baby's frequency of stool reduction, prolonged defecation interval, it may be what we often say about the stomach, not necessarily constipation.
If the baby does not defecate for a few days, the mother should not worry too much, you can properly adjust your diet structure, and the baby's feeding, while closely observing, as long as the baby eats well, sleeps well, and has a good mental state, most of them are stomachs.
But if the baby has a laborious performance of defecation during defecation, the small face is red, and there is a relatively hard lump in the abdomen, which may be constipation, you should pay attention to the cause of the investigation, more serious or you are not clear, it is best to see a doctor in time.
In short, every month the baby has its own development characteristics, parents are best to learn some parenting knowledge in advance, understand the characteristics of different stages of development of the baby, in order to accurately judge whether it is normal, and the correct response.
Does your baby have these characteristics in the first three months? Come and share your parenting experience with Mom and Dad.
