How can I just love a baby properly? How should we take care of a baby to make him get the most comfortable state? Actually, I don't know, but through reading books, I have a general understanding of the characteristics of babies at each stage, what kind of lifestyle they need and what kind of love they give, so in order to love their babies better, interested basin friends can look at my list.
From birth to 3 years old, the baby can be roughly divided into 7 growth stages. We can provide scientific and reasonable care for the baby according to the needs of different stages.
Many people worry that giving your baby too much love will spoil him easily; But if you love moderately, you are worried that your baby will easily lack love. Then, what I want to say here is that from birth to the first four stages of 3 years old, you can rest assured to spoil your baby without worrying about spoiling him.
The so-called first four stages refer to the birth to 8 months. Although it is only a short period of 8 months, it needs our most dedicated care for the baby.
So what is the goal of taking care of the baby in the first eight months?
1, let the baby feel love and care;
2. Help your baby develop unique skills;
3. Encourage your baby's interest in the outside world
1, behavior characteristics:
From birth to 6 weeks, babies are often asleep most of the time, and they are awake for 2-3 minutes every hour during the day. Even when awake, there will be no emotional performance.
In terms of exercise, although the baby can't move at this time, it is also possible to exercise by constantly kicking the mattress with the heel, so a cushion should be installed in the crib or cradle. On the other hand, at this time, the baby is very easily frightened. Be careful not to make a loud noise suddenly at rest, so as not to scare the baby.
2, baby interest:
At this time, the baby's vision is very limited, and he may not pay attention to anything. Later, he became interested in his sense of touch.
3. Parenting methods:
Babies born to 6 weeks cry just to explain one thing, that is, "I don't feel well, come and help me." Therefore, you don't have to worry about losing your temper when your baby cries, but take care of him in time.
On the premise of not getting sick, if you breastfeed for more than 2 hours, you are probably hungry; If the problem is not hunger, if the baby just finished eating milk, the cause of anxiety may be flatulence, try to make him burp; If not, check the baby's diaper.
If the baby is still crying without these problems, the following methods can be adopted: pick it up and go; Use pacifiers; Do "elevator sports"; Or put it in a cradle or rocking chair and shake it gently.
4. Education and exercise:
For the baby in this period, you can let the baby lie on the ground and do it several times a day to encourage the baby to practice looking up.
5. Favorite toy:
Because the newborn's vision is limited, many toys can't interest him. For babies from birth to 6 weeks, suitable toys are pacifiers, mobile toys and mirrors.
At this time, the baby only likes to look at the part of the face from the tip of the nose to the forehead. Choose a distance of 25~30 cm, and put mobile toys and mirrors on the left and right sides of the baby to let the baby play by himself.
1, behavior characteristics:
At the age of 6- 14 weeks, babies often show charming smiles. With the development of vision, they begin to like to chase irregular colored small objects. In addition, the attention of the opponent is also a unique behavioral feature of the baby at this stage. At this time, the baby likes to touch clothes and sheets, and likes to stuff things into his mouth.
2, baby interest:
Babies aged 6- 14 weeks especially like to observe faces or photos of faces. They are interested in small and fine objects 13-30 cm away from their eyes. In addition, biting is also one of the important interests of the baby at this time, especially like biting his own small fist. In addition, at this time, the baby began to be interested in listening to the sound made in the mouth with saliva.
3. Parenting methods:
At this time, if the baby hears your approaching voice when crying, he will stop crying and start looking forward to it. Therefore, respond to the baby's crying in time. At this time, the baby's crying is still due to physical discomfort and needs timely care.
4. Education and exercise:
Let the baby lie prone several times a day, help him practice raising his head, and put a mirror beside the baby's bed to exercise his visual ability. Let the baby get into the habit of sleeping in his crib as soon as possible.

Crib fitness rack, floor fitness rack, mirror and mobile toy.
1, behavior characteristics:
The baby in the third stage is awake almost half the time a day. If he has his favorite toy or mirror, he will spend a long happy time alone. At this time, the muscles of the baby's arms and legs have just begun to have strength, and the baby will continue to practice. About five and a half months ago, the baby will learn to turn over from supine to prone.
In addition, the baby begins to have the desire to explore, and will explore the sound made when there is saliva in his mouth. In visual exploration, he will observe and explore his hands, feet and anything within his range, especially something about 9 1 cm away from him.
2, baby interest:
Because the baby at this stage is very curious, it is necessary to provide him with more interesting choices. At this time, the baby began to become more and more interested in the objects around him, especially those small objects that can be grabbed, bitten, rotated and hit.
3. Parenting methods:
In the third stage, the baby begins to have a new behavior, that is, to attract adults to him by crying, which is usually done when he is bored and frustrated. So at this time, we should start to pay attention to whether the baby is crying on purpose. The appearance of deliberate crying shows that it is time to prevent the baby from being spoiled.
In order to solve this problem better, parents should take more time to play with their babies and talk to them more, especially to discuss what their babies are paying attention to now.
4. Education and exercise:
Help your baby develop some unique skills, such as hand-eye skills: provide him with floor and crib fitness rack, as well as various other safe little things that can be put into his mouth to bite; Body control skills: you can ask your baby to provide a bouncing chair, which is the kind of fitness equipment hanging at the door; Language: try to get into the habit of talking to your baby, especially about what he is paying attention to at present; Social skills: respond to the baby's violent crying as soon as possible and respond to the baby's tiny voice as soon as possible; Encourage curiosity: it is best to let your baby have something he is interested in doing most of the time.

In the fourth stage, the baby likes to play with some small toys and begins to have a strong interest in some tiny objects. In addition, he continued to have great interest in the sound of his saliva and responded to some relatively simple words such as "dad", "mom" and "baby". A 6-month-old baby will repeatedly throw things from his crib and watch things start to fall.
Babies will be interested in toys that can make sounds and toys with simple mechanical connections.
3. Parenting methods:
As the baby's athletic ability is getting stronger and stronger, care should be taken when the baby explores various objects, and they should not be exposed to dangerous things. In addition, at this stage, the baby's excessive demand begins to appear, and it is necessary to start to prevent the baby from being spoiled.
When the baby begins to cry as a means to get attention and companionship, it is necessary to prevent the baby from being spoiled. In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to keep the baby busy, let him have different things to play, let him have something to explore and take the initiative to play with him.
4. Education and exercise:
Help your baby to exercise basic motor skills. In terms of intellectual development, you can provide a lot of things for your baby to throw, hit and throw. Provide a simple mechanical device for research; Set simple questions and start playing hide-and-seek with your face or other little things he is interested in; In addition, one of the most effective ways to stimulate your baby's intellectual development and curiosity is to use the walker several times a day.
