How to care for newborns so that they are obedient and healthy

Xiaoguo is my college classmate and has recently been promoted to mother. Since she is a mother for the first time, she is very nervous about the baby\’s every move. She often sends me messages asking me about the baby\’s \”eating, drinking, toileting, sleeping\”. I received another message from Xiaoguo today. She said, what should I do if my baby only slept for 15 hours? Aren’t newborns supposed to sleep 20 hours a day? Is the baby sick? I really didn\’t know whether to laugh or cry when I saw this message. I told her not to worry, most babies can\’t sleep for such a long time. Many newborns who are just 3 days old are energetic most of the day, staring at this novel world with their big eyes open. After hearing what I said, Xiaoguo finally felt relieved. Download the Encyclopedia of Newborn Baby Care in ultra-clear epub. I understand Xiaoguo’s feelings. I was once a new mother. I slowly learned and accumulated experience to become the disseminator of parenting knowledge today. Have you noticed these details about your newborn baby? If parents pay attention to these five details of care, their babies will be smart and healthy. (1) Does the baby like to listen? Will the newborn baby listen? In fact, as early as the late fetal stage, the baby\’s hearing is quite sensitive. Therefore, after the baby is born, when he hears the mother\’s heartbeat or calls, he will feel close and safe, and will calm down when crying. Babies also have auditory orientation capabilities and can turn their heads and eyes toward the source of sound. ★Correct care method: Mother can call the baby gently at a distance of 10 to 15 centimeters from the baby\’s ear, so that he will turn his head when he hears your voice. Mothers can talk and sing to their babies in a high-pitched and gentle voice when bathing, undressing, feeding, and changing diapers. When speaking to your baby, change your intonation. Intonation is much more important than language! In addition, you can also let your baby listen to beats, bells, recited poetry, etc. (2) Babies like touch. Touch is an important way for babies to comfort themselves, understand the world and communicate with the outside world. Newborn babies can use the tactile sensation of the wrap to calm themselves. Babies like to touch soft objects, cling tightly to their mothers, and like to pat and rock them. ★Correct care method: Mothers should often touch the baby\’s head, chest, abdomen, limbs, hands, feet and back. Research has proven that babies who are often touched and hugged by their mothers have a gentle, quiet and obedient personality. (3) The baby\’s quiet cycle: The baby is sleeping 90% of the day, and the total wake-up time is only 2 to 3 hours. The baby is constantly going through the sleep-wake cycle, cycled every 30 to 60 minutes. This cycle includes 6 states: deep sleep, light sleep, drowsiness, quiet awakening, active awakening and crying. When the baby wakes up and stops crying, he will move in a certain pattern. There will be no movement at all for about 1 minute and 25 seconds, followed by sudden movement. When the baby is in a state of active awakening, quiet periods occur continuously every 1 to 2 minutes. ★Correct care method For each baby, the change in the amount of exercise is slight. Some babies move more and some less. Don\’t be disappointed if you can\’t detect rhythmic movements in your baby through observation. Each baby\’s activity pattern has individual differences. New mothers should observe their babiesDon’t forget the existence of this difference. (4) Baby\’s visual care Babies are born with myopia. If things are too close or too far away from the baby, they cannot see clearly and only see blurry shadows. To guide the baby\’s ability to see, the object must be placed about 20 centimeters away from the baby\’s eyes, which is equivalent to the distance between the mother\’s face and the baby\’s face during feeding. This state lasts until 3 to 4 months after the baby is born, and the baby begins to have the ability to adjust the visual focus from the 4th month after birth. Central Vision recommends over 500 high-scoring excellent documentaries. Children will become addicted to self-discipline after watching the pattern. ★ Correct nursing method In order to guide the baby\’s vision, the baby should have a comfortable position. It is best for the mother to take a sitting position and hold the baby in a semi-lying position. On your lap, mom holds a brightly colored toy to attract his attention or make him look at your face. If you shake the object gently, it will attract the baby\’s attention. Almost all healthy babies have this innate ability to see things. At this time, the baby will laugh when faced with soft sounds, and will also express excitement and distress. He will even stare at the mother\’s face and make eye contact with others. (5) Babies like sweet taste. Newborn babies have a keen sense of taste. Babies like sweet food. When they are given sugar water, their sucking power is enhanced; when they are given bitter water, salt water, or fresh water, their sucking power is weakened, and they may even stop drinking. ★Correct care method: Mothers should pay attention and try not to give sugar water to the baby to drink. If you give the baby sugar water and then plain water, the baby will stop drinking. And regular drinking of sugar water is not good for your health. For breastfed babies, there is no need to feed water unless there are special circumstances before six months; for artificially fed babies, appropriate boiled water can be fed to the baby between two meals. Taking care of a newborn baby is not an easy task. In the process of taking care of the baby, the mother must be discerning and pay attention to all the details. Your baby will grow up smart and healthy under your careful care.
