For expectant parents, the expectation of the baby during pregnancy reaches its peak when the baby is born.
With the newborn baby in hand, they feel the realism of being a parent.
The joy of the baby's birth dilutes their worries about parenting.
"Isn't it just a baby?" How hard is it to bring? Eat well and sleep well, it is very easy. ”
Many expectant parents always think that parenting is too simple, in fact, the smaller the baby, the more difficult it is to carry.
From birth to 3 months, because the baby can not speak, many times, parents need to reassure him through the baby's reaction, inexperienced parents and babies who cannot communicate, the two are not happy to get along, the result is counterproductive.
The baby is not yet a full moon, especially loves to sleep, his parents wake him up to drink milk, he is more irritable.
After the baby is full moon, he especially loves to cry, and it is difficult to coax, and the parents-to-be have a headache. After staying up until the baby was 3 months old, they found that the baby had a belly.
They couldn't help but sigh, "Baby is so hard to bring!" In fact, from the birth of the baby to 3 months, the development characteristics of the baby are different every month, no wonder the old people often say "sleeping in January, crying in March and saving belly".
Sleeping in January, crying in March, saving belly, these "parenting codes" parents already know, parenting is easier
January sleep: January baby is best to bring, sleep time is relatively long, parents also worry
It takes 30 days for your baby from birth to the full moon.
This is the first month after the baby is born, and the difference between this month of age and other months of age babies is that the baby loves to sleep.
Your baby's sleep duration decreases with age:
Your baby sleeps 16 hours a day for 1 month
Babies 1 month old sleep 15.5 hours a day
Babies aged 3 months sleep 15 hours a day
Babies aged 6 months sleep 14 hours a day
After the baby is born, sleep about 16 hours a day, but it is not a one-time sleep time, but divided into 3-4 time periods.
Every two hours, the mother needs to feed the baby once and needs to feed the baby more than 6-8 times a day.
Because the stomach of newborns is horizontal and the stomach capacity is small, babies eat less and sleep up to 3-4 hours after eating.
Babies within a month need to get enough sleep to keep their bodies developing.
Before the baby is full moon, sleep longer every day, so parents will not be hard to bring their babies, just need to feed the baby on demand.
I remember that dabao nahui, in addition to breastfeeding, most of the time is sleeping. During my confinement period, I don't need to stay up late often, and I am very comfortable.
Because the baby is easier to bring, I eat and sleep enough, and I not only did not lose weight during the month, but also gained several pounds.
February crying: February babies love to cry, sleep time becomes shorter, parents are upset
A one-month-old baby just sleeps in peace. However, the two-month-old baby develops very differently, and the baby wakes up longer during the day.
The interval between sleeps in newborns is 45 minutes - 1 hour.
However, the sleep interval for babies aged 2-3 months is 1-2 hours.
The 2-month-old baby's appetite becomes larger, the stomach volume increases, the number of feedings becomes less, the baby's response will be more sensitive, and he prefers to contact people.
Babies aged 2 months prefer to express their needs with crying.
The baby's crying became more frequent: "Why did you cry again after feeding?" "We took the baby out to play, and somehow the baby suddenly started crying." ”
Expectant parents feel that the 2-month-old baby is not easy to take, always crying at every turn, and every time they have to coax for half a day, the baby is willing to stop, especially at night, it is really too torturous.
Many people think that the baby's crying must be because the stomach is hungry, in fact, the baby cries, not all because he wants to breastfeed.
The baby also has emotional needs, he needs the love and warm embrace of his parents.
March belly: March babies love to save belly, parents are more troublesome to raise
3 months of baby, intestinal volume increases, after the baby eats, absorb more nutrients than before, will not have stool after each meal, which is also often said by the old people "save belly".
Conversely, for babies aged 2-3 months, whether breast milk or formula feeding, the number of bowel movements will decrease, sometimes only once in 3-4 days.
If your baby's appetite is good, the weight gain is in the normal range, and the stool is not relatively dry or too thin, we don't need to worry too much.
In 0-3 months, baby parenting should pay attention to 4 points, and parents should take fewer detours in parenting
First: The baby's cry has a different meaning
1. Babies who want to feed will cry more quickly and loudly
If the baby is hungry, he will remind the adult with crying.
Breastfed babies will involuntarily look for the figure of their mother.
If the baby's two feedings are shorter than 2 hours, the baby can't sleep, and he continues to cry, parents should consider whether the baby's feeding is too low.
2. Your baby is too sleepy and cries before going to bed
Each baby's situation is different, when Xiaobao was tired as a child, he loved to cry, and every time I could only hold him and gently comfort him.
3. Crying is a sign that your baby is unwell
Sleeping too hot, the baby pulls stool, the diaper is too full, etc., the baby will resist through crying, he is very uncomfortable, and needs the help of adults.
4. Want the company of your parents
Some people think that babies are too young to speak, as long as they are fed and cared for properly.
In fact, in addition to feeding, the baby also needs the companionship of parents and children.
After the baby is born, without the protection of the womb, he will feel very insecure, occasionally there will be a startle reflex, and the mood is more affected by the outside world.
When they feel scared and frightened, they remind their parents with their cries that I need your comfort.
Second: The baby's feeding at different stages is different
For babies within 6 months, there are three main feeding methods: breastfeeding, formula feeding, and mixed feeding.
After 6 months, the baby can appropriately add complementary foods such as rice cereal, but breast milk or milk powder is still the baby's main nutritional route.
After 6 months of baby, add complementary foods from less to more, from soft to hard, parents need to take into account the baby's taste and nutrition collocation.
Third: don't be careless with baby care
1. Natural shedding of the umbilical cord stumps
The umbilical cord stump of the newborn will slowly fall off within 1-3 weeks after the baby is born, before this, parents should pay attention to the care of the umbilical cord, do not touch the water, and can not use external force to tear off the umbilical cord stump.
2. Do not hold the baby too early in three months
Babies aged 1-2 months are not enough to control their head and neck muscles.
When adults pick up the baby, the baby's head will be thrown back, too early to hold, easy to let the baby's spine be hurt.
Fourth: the baby's growth and development should be paid attention to
1. Baby weight
After the baby is born, it is normal to weigh 2 pounds per month.
However, because babies are born with different weights, there are also individual differences in weight gain.
2. Baby vision
Babies at 1 month of age can only see objects within 30 centimeters, but by about 2 months, babies can see objects that pass in the first half week.
Because of the increased visual distance, a 2-month-old baby can track objects moving at close range.
3-month-old babies can use their hands to slap moving objects in front of them, so babies aged 2-3 months will be more interested in parent-child communication, and parents can provide babies with grasping toys and practice follow-up games.
epilogue
Babies after the age of 1 can say that they can run, and it is easy for parents to bring them up.
However, the 0-3 month baby has made many expectant parents busy, and the baby's emotions are more related to the mood of the whole family.
"Sleeping in January in February and crying in March to save belly", this is the law of baby development, if the parents-to-be can master these "parenting codes", within 3 months of the baby's parenting attention to these 4 points, is conducive to the baby's physical development, they will be more relaxed on the way to parenting.
