I have to say that taking a baby is really the most wonderful thing in the world!
Mother and child are connected, and the baby from falling to the ground to being able to climb, and then to being able to talk and walk, every process affects the heart of the old mother. But this meat ball that can cry, laugh, drink, pull, and sleep, one second is a cute and spoiled little cute, the next second may be a little demon who will make you angry to the point of vomiting blood! If you don't keep an eye on him, you are afraid that he will make some kind of moth.
Touching her head, the old mother is really not easy. Still being by the baby? Try to understand these 4 key stages in your baby's growth, so that you can take your baby "if you have help"!
Key stage one: the period of great motor development
After 3 months, your baby will turn over! Although this skill is self-taught, don't underestimate this small action, this is a key step in the development of big movement. Since turning over, the baby gradually begins to learn to control his body, and then slowly climbs, stands, walks, runs, jumps and so on.
Some mothers will say, "My baby never crawls, isn't it normal?" "In fact, it is normal, and there are some babies who never climb, but it doesn't matter much, babies will always find ways to move themselves." As long as he can coordinate each side of the body and use his hands and feet at the same time, it is OK.
Hemp can do this:
At 0-3 months old, the mother can play with the baby on her stomach and attract the baby with toys. The toys that come with BGM will make the baby pay extra attention! It is recommended that mothers choose colorful, sound-making toys and lift them slightly to attract their babies to look up, so as to exercise their neck, torso and limb muscles.
When learning to climb, you can also clear a place at home and use toys or objects to attract him to climb. Usually, you can also take your baby to crawl on the grass of the park to feel a wider and more interesting crawling space.
Remember! Don't use a walker, and don't carry your baby to learn to walk.
Using a walker, the baby's feet can not really stand; and holding to learn to walk, it is easy for the baby to form the wrong walking habits, such as tiptoeing.
In fact, the baby can be very independent! When he climbed enough, he would naturally learn to stand up and walk slowly on furniture, and mothers did not have to worry.
Key stage two: language ability development
Will babies talk around 1 year old? Many parents think so. In fact, the time for each child to learn to speak is very different. Some babies call mom and dad at the age of 1 and sing a few nursery rhymes at the age of 2, while some babies may only call mom and dad until the age of 2.
But overall, there are still traces to follow:
April-July: Reacts to his name and utters a series of consonant teeth.
10-14 months: Say the first word.
15 months: You can use about 10 words.
18 months: Start with phrases or phrases
20 months: Ability to use 160-170 words
*Based on the American Academy of Pediatrics Parenting Encyclopedia and other materials, but each baby has its own unique growth process, this information is for reference only.
From the birth of the baby, you can talk to the baby, describe the things around life to him, and the richer the facial expression, the better. Often sing nursery rhymes to the baby, count while walking the stairs, etc.
Even if you can't understand what your baby is saying, respond to his vague words. For example, when your baby says "bao bao", you can point to the baby picture and repeat "baby".
Key Period Three: The Period of Appetite
In general, babies enter the period of oral desire around 2 months. At this time, the baby, no matter what it is, always likes to send it to the mouth to satisfy its playful and curious heart!
For your baby, the mouth is his "search engine". By eating his hands, he can also exercise his sensory and motor systems, awakening his hands and feet to perceive.
By about 6 months, most babies will start to teeth, at this time the fingers will also play the role of "teething stick" to relieve toothache.
Be an old Buddhist mother, don't stop it. Many parents think that the baby bites things is a bad habit, but as long as the toys are cleaned and put away some dangerous small objects, to avoid the baby from swallowing by mistake.
After the baby has passed the period of appetite, he will skip the process of eating with his hands and nibbling everywhere, and transition to exploring the world with his hands.
Key period four: emotional development
Never expected the baby to actually fake a smile? yes!
Although the baby will laugh before the full moon, the baby at this time is actually just an unconscious "fake smile", but the mother is also very happy to see it! When the baby laughs after 2 months, it is really laughing.
By 3 months, your baby will smile and communicate with his mother and attract your attention. At the same time, he will be curious about other children, and other children will be very happy when they come to the house.
By 4-7 months, the distinction between personality will begin to be obvious, and some babies will be very good, well-behaved, and some stubborn and sensitive.
But from 8 months onwards, the difficulty will escalate, the baby will transform into a koala, always sticking to you, and this situation will reach its peak at 10 months to 1 and a half years old.
Imitate the different expressions of the baby when he is happy and sad, so that the baby can see the facial expressions and body language of his different emotions through the mother's mirror, so as to help him understand and recognize the emotions.
When taking care of the baby, the mother can actively interact with the baby. For example, looking at the baby's small eyes when breastfeeding and smiling at him, gently caressing him, etc., these small details help to establish the baby's sense of security and trust in people.
PS. Mothers respond to the baby's crying in a timely manner, which has a very positive significance for the baby to establish a sense of security.
In fact, every baby has a unique shining point, and the mother with the baby is not just the same! If the mother can understand the baby in detail, she will definitely find the most suitable way for her baby to grow!
