Why is the baby so well-behaved in the first month of life? In addition to love to sleep, there are these 'little secrets'
My friend Xiaowen just gave birth. Before giving birth, she was a little anxious. She was afraid that the child in the confinement would cry so much that she could not take care of it by herself. In the first month of the baby's birth, I went to see her at her house. Xiaowen said: "This child is too good to take care of. Apart from wanting to eat, pull, urinate, cry, he is basically sleeping. I am worried that he will not be able to take care of him during the confinement period." After the confinement, the Yuesao also left. Within a few days, Xiaowen began to complain to me, "Why is the child crying more and more? Could it be that I am not taking care of Yuesao?"
Many mothers have found an interesting problem. The baby is very well-behaved in the first month of life. Apart from eating and drinking, he basically sleeps for the rest of the time, so he gives the mother enough time to rest and recuperate. This month Sitting is not too tiring, why is the newborn baby so obedient? But not only love to sleep, but also some little secrets.
Newborn babies need a lot of time to sleep and no time to cry
Confinement babies spend most of their time sleeping. At first, I needed to sleep for 22 hours a day, and gradually it became about 18 hours. Newborn babies have no distinction between day and night. They are in a state of chaos. The sleep cycle is generally 45 minutes. Half of a sleep cycle is in light sleep and half in deep sleep. When the deep and light sleep alternate, he will wake up. Once, the waking time was very short, about 30-60 minutes, and then went to sleep again, so the newborn baby, like a small animal that needs to hibernate, is basically very quiet. Don't cry much.
Newborns will not be awakened by external sounds, and their hearing is insensitive
Newborn babies, vision and hearing have a slow development process, so newborns need to go through hearing tests, but normal hearing does not mean that they are very sensitive to sounds. Someone has done an experiment, let the baby listen to the phone ringing before the full month , found that he is not sensitive to this sound, almost no response, but after the full moon, the baby begins to feel the sound close to him, will turn his head to see the source of the sound, and slowly connect the sound with the face of the person stand up.
Of course, there is another reason. When the baby is in the mother's womb, the surrounding environment is not silent. He will hear the mother's heartbeat and the sound of the amniotic fluid every day. At the same time, there are external sounds in the womb. Reverberation, so he is in a noisy environment, so after birth, even if someone in the outside world is talking loudly, it will not affect him, and he sleeps without error.
After a newborn is born, it will experience a "fourth season"
The baby is called the fetus in the mother's womb, and it is the baby after birth, but to be precise, in the first three months after the baby is born, he must be called the "fetus". The baby at this stage continues to live in the womb. He also misses the environment in the womb very much. For example, he likes to be wrapped to sleep and experience the feeling of being surrounded by amniotic fluid in the womb. When he is crying, if there is a sound of water flowing, he will stop crying. This is because the sound in the womb is also a natural biological reflex, and it is also one of the differences between humans and animals. Animals will stand on their own within an hour of birth. This is the instinct of animals to survive, and it is also an The advantages of natural selection, but a human only needs to stay in the womb for ten months to come out. He is not fully developed yet, his brain is still developing, so the first month after birth, he misses the womb the most. For a period of time, the work and rest will be very similar to the womb, which is one of the reasons why he is very good.
Newborns love to be wrapped and sleep on their side
Professor Karp, an American parenting expert with more than 30 years of parenting experience, has helped parents of more than 200 new-born families to successfully turn their babies from crying to sleep. They are in a side sleeping position, usually with a slight rocking, and the babies fall asleep quickly, imitating the environment of the baby in the womb, where the baby is in a constant motion position, the mother rolls over, or Going up the stairs, the baby is wrapped in amniotic fluid and uterus, he feels a sense of security, and outside, his body is stretched, which is not what he wants, he feels scared, and the swaddling (not candle pack) just takes over the uterus , his emotions will be instantly soothed, so the baby will fall asleep obediently.
Why does my baby cry after a month?
After a month of development, the baby gradually adapts to the external environment, sleeps gradually decreases, and begins to slowly contact and integrate with the outside world, so it will also show multiple levels of emotions, such as crying. Usually, these babies are more Crying is easy to occur:
Babies who are held too much are prone to crying, because family members always hold the baby to sleep during the confinement period. After the full moon, the baby will get used to it. Once the baby is not held to sleep, the child will cry. Even if the baby fell asleep and put him down, he would immediately wake up crying.
The baby is uncomfortable and easy to cry. Without the guidance of professionals, mothers or the older generation are used to dressing the baby according to their own dressing habits, which is easy to wear too thick and uncomfortable.
Improper feeding is easy to cry. In the process of breastfeeding, if the mother feeds too little or too much, the baby will cry easily. In addition, the mother who has given birth does not care so much about the diet. Too cold and too spicy will also affect the child's gastrointestinal state.
The baby's hearing and vision are gradually developing. Some high-demand babies will cry because of the noisy indoor environment and the light in the room.
Causes of colic. At this time, the baby is prone to symptoms of colic. Crying at a fixed time every day. Mothers should pay attention to observation, this disease can only be relieved by the baby itself, and mothers should be patient with it.
In addition, some babies do not like to cry after birth, and some babies cry easily. The former are easy-to-raise babies, and the latter are difficult-to-raise babies with high needs, but no matter what kind of baby they are, they will go through necessary growth stages. There is a reason why a baby is good and good, and there are reasons for crying. Find the root cause and solve it one by one. Raising a baby is not that difficult.
