He can only express all his needs by crying. For novice parents, it is difficult to tell whether the baby is hungry, sleepy or unwell.
Fortunately, however, every child's growth process is normal. Novice parents can keep their babies healthy in principle as long as they know the relevant knowledge.
I wonder if you have heard of the formula "sleep in January, cry in March, and keep your stomach safe"? Novice parents should remember! What is its specific content?
Newborns in labor spend most of their time sleeping. Some babies who eat well usually go to bed after dinner and continue to eat after waking up.
However, sometimes some mothers will complain why their babies are so easily taken away in the imprisonment of others. Their baby is a complete "little devil". They cry all day, they don't know what they are crying, which makes adults feel nervous.
In fact, this is caused by parents not accurately understanding the baby's needs. Crying is a "big move" to express needs. If parents can find and meet the baby's needs in time, he won't cry to express discomfort.
Sleep characteristics:
Because the baby still falls asleep in his mother's stomach most of the time, it is irregular.
In order to make him adapt to the new environment and grow up quickly after birth, the primary task of parents is to help the baby establish good sleep patterns and habits.
If you find that your baby can't sleep well, always crying or waking up after holding it down, or sleeping uneasily, it may indicate that your physical needs are not met, or you feel uncomfortable just after the examination.
What is the sleep time pattern of infants from 1 to 12 months?
Babies in labor: Sleep about 18-20 hours every day.
Baby 2? 5 months old: Sleep time will gradually decrease until about 15? 18 hours.
Babies aged 6 ~ 12 months: The waking time is getting longer and longer, and the sleep time is shortened to 14 ~ 16 hours, with a regular schedule and gradually approaching adults.
When the baby was two months old, he had learned how to express his feelings. Of course, due to the lack of corresponding language and physical expression ability, the main method is crying.
Especially at this time, many babies will have flatulence. Therefore, if parents find that the baby is crying loudly, the physical needs are well taken care of, mostly flatulence.
This is usually caused by the baby catching a cold, inhaling too much air and unreasonable diet during feeding.
What are the specific standards?
(1) Crying for a fixed time, even if the baby is breastfeeding, will not decrease, and may even hinder breastfeeding and strong crying.
I can't sleep well. I always stare at my legs, curl up and so on. I struggled with myself and my whole face turned red.
When caught by adults, he always attacks.
(4) Abdominal swelling, which is a little swollen to the touch and difficult to feel. You can hear the sound when you are close.
(5) Sometimes the smell is unpleasant, and even there may be traces of feces on the diaper.
How to reduce flatulence?
When you don't cry:
Parents can massage the baby's abdomen clockwise to make the baby's legs do passive movements, similar to riding a bicycle.
When dressing the baby, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, keep the correct feeding posture, and remember to play and wrap the baby after feeding.
When crying:
Usually, the baby will cry for a long time when he has abdominal distension and discomfort. At this time, you can try to hug your baby or listen to white noise to comfort your baby.
At this time, the baby's digestive ability is gradually enhanced, and breast milk is easy to accumulate. Parents often confuse it with constipation, but there are obvious differences between them.
Saving the stomach is to prolong the defecation time, which is directly manifested by the obvious reduction of the number of defecations of the baby.
How to judge whether it is congestion or constipation?
As long as the baby eats well, sleeps well, has a normal mental state, opens his mouth, can't smell any peculiar smell, and feels soft in the abdomen, the problem is not big.
In addition, although the frequency of defecation has decreased, the constipation performance of infants with stomachache is not as good as that of defecation.
In the end, the feces discharged by Zandura will be golden yellow, with no nipple, but less water.
In short, babies under one year old grow very fast, almost every day. But in general, there are still some rules to follow. Novice parents will not be in a hurry as long as they master scientific parenting knowledge.
