This 12-month baby development history can be a good response to the baby's various problems.

Month 1: Jaundice

Jaundice is the "only way" for every newborn to come to this world, manifested as the symptoms of yellowing of the baby within 24 hours of birth, which are divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice heals itself and does not affect your baby's health and development. If jaundice appears earlier and the value is relatively high, it indicates the possibility of pathological jaundice, and it is necessary to consult a doctor in time to diagnose it.

Month 2: Crying and colic

Intestinal colic is a mysterious and very common growth and development problem, and the exact cause of the disease has not been found so far, and for parents, the baby's colic is worrying, especially when the cause and treatment of intestinal colic are unclear. Although no researcher has yet given a definitive and affirmative answer to the causes of intestinal colic in infants, it may be roughly due to 3 reasons: the neurodevelopmental immaturity that controls peristalsis of the intestinal wall; Abdominal flatulence; Contagion of bad emotions.

Month 3: Heads up

Babies can lie prone within a few days of birth, but within 1 month the baby can not actively raise their heads, can only instinctively struggle, so that the face is turned to one side, by two months can slightly raise the head and the front chest, 3 months can lift the head very steadily. Of course, there are also a few babies who can't really look up due to physical and developmental reasons, so don't care too much about this.

Month 4: Complementary foods

4 months to add complementary food or 6 months to add complementary food is a problem that many mothers struggle with. In fact, we don't have to choose between the two. Babies' gastrointestinal function develops at different rates, some babies can tolerate complementary foods around 4 months, while others need to wait until they are 6 months old to accept it.

Therefore, it is advisable to give the decision of when to add complementary foods to the baby, when the baby begins to be interested in adults eating, likes to look at the food on the table, and even drools. When your baby can sit in a dining chair, the neck muscles are strong enough to support the head. When you try to put food in your baby's mouth, your baby is able to stick out his tongue, and you can try to add complementary foods to your baby.

Month 5: Deciduous teeth

There are 20 baby teeth, including 8 incisors, 4 canine teeth and 8 molars. In general, the baby grows the first teeth around 5 months of birth, and the deciduous teeth are out of alignment around 2 and a half years old. Around the age of 6, the deciduous teeth gradually fall out, and the permanent teeth begin to erupt, replacing the deciduous teeth. The individual differences in the baby's teething are very large, some babies grow their first teeth at 4 months or even earlier, while some babies are still bare in their mouths when they are 8 to 9 months old. For babies with slightly teething, the mother does not have to worry at all.

Month 6: Back milk

It's time for moms to go to work, can breastfeeding still be done? The answer is no doubt – absolutely. As long as you are prepared as follows.

Ideological preparation: Strengthen the determination to breastfeed, establish the spirit of overcoming all difficulties, resist the pressure of public opinion advocating weaning, shield the strange eyes around when "looking for a place to cook", and vow to carry out the cause of "breastfeeding" to the end.

Business preparation: Familiar with the "back milk" process, proficient in the business of "pumping, storing milk, freezing milk, warm milk" several links.

Month 7: Baby will sit

Your baby needs to have strong back muscles as a foundation to sit up. The baby sits steadily, indicating that his bone development, nervous system, and muscle coordination ability tend to mature. Usually the baby will sit back first, in a semi-reclining position. Next, try leaning forward slightly and using your hands to support sitting up straight on either side of your body.

Under normal circumstances, at 6 months, the baby will sit on its own, and sit more stable, that is, it will not suddenly fall down, you can balance your body, but do not let the baby sit for a long time, otherwise it is not good for the spine.

Month 8: Crawling

At 8 months, the baby starts crawling! Began to evolve from worms to reptiles, learned to cooperate with the movement of limbs, began to crawl, this time to be careful, pay attention not to fall out of bed!

Month 9: Sleep all night

With the development of the baby's nervous system, the rhythm of life of "sleeping when you want to sleep, eating when you want to eat" at birth will gradually be replaced by a relatively fixed schedule. Mom was able to get a good night's sleep easily. In addition, the baby has been able to understand the changes between day and night, the amount of milk ingested at a time has also increased, and there has been a trend of belly saving, and the number of stools has decreased, which provides conditions for the baby to sleep all night.

Month 10: Will call Mom

From birth, babies can use a variety of ways to communicate with the outside world. In the first days, babies use crying to communicate their needs to their mothers. As the baby grows, the eye gaze time increases, and the eye contact with the mother will increase more and more. Usually when the baby is 2 months old, the first conscious smile is revealed to the mother. After that, he will slowly learn to communicate with his mother with rich facial expressions and babbling baby language.

The study found that the more you communicate with adults during the initial language learning stage, the more ideal your baby's language skills will develop. Therefore, mothers should not be afraid that the baby will not understand, and must take time to talk to the baby more. Bathing, changing clothes, feeding, and changing diapers are ideal times for parent-child communication.

Month 11: Can stand, can walk

11-month-old babies can walk on balance, but it also depends on the baby's physical development, for example, some babies will go before the age of one year, and some will not go at one and a half years old, this is just a reference.

Month 12: Weaning

Parenting experts recommend exclusive breastfeeding until at least 6 months of age, preferably until 2 years of age. You're well above the minimum, but you're still some distance from your ideal. At the important juncture of your baby's 1-year-old birth, you are undecided about whether you should "wean".

For when to wean, there are many factors to consider, and it is necessary to comprehensively analyze the specific situation of the mother and baby, weigh the pros and cons, in order to make the most suitable decision. The needs of the baby should be prioritized, and the mother's factor cannot be ignored. If the pressure on the mother to insist on breastfeeding is too great, it will affect the normal life and parent-child relationship and lose more than it loses.
