Introduction
One month old babies love to sleep. In addition to breastfeeding, they spend most of their time every day. Mothers can also take the opportunity to sleep in, not to mention how comfortable it is.
However, when the baby is 3 months old, mothers can't help but complain, why is it becoming more and more difficult to take care of their own children?
"The baby has been 3 months old, why do I always wake up at night and still make a fuss to eat milk? I haven't had a good sleep for a long time!"
"The same is true for my family. I always cry and have to coax it for a long time before I am willing to eat milk. When the baby falls asleep again, it's already 2 hours later. I can't stand it every night!"
says that the older the baby, the easier it is to raise. Why is the bigger my baby, the more tormenting it will be? Many mothers have such troubles. As the baby gets older, they have not gotten rid of the trouble of "waking up at night". Even if the baby falls asleep, he will still wake up in the middle of the night and has the need to eat milk.
baby will not make a tantrum for no reason. If the baby cries frequently and wants to eat breastfeeding frequently, parents should not worry, but should be happy. The baby has entered a period of rapid growth.
If parents can provide enough nutrition to their babies, their babies will develop more rapidly.
4 signals indicate that the baby is in a period of rapid growth. Feeding must keep up, and don’t delay the development of the child’s physical development.
1. Within 0-12 months, the baby will experience 7 surge periods
From the birth of the baby to 12 months, there will be 7 surge periods:
7-10 days after the birth of the newborn, it will experience the first surge period, 2-3 weeks when the newborn is born, it will experience the second surge period, and the newborn experience the third surge period in the 4-6 weeks.
When the baby is 3 months old, he experiences the fourth sharp rise period, when the baby is 4 months old, he experiences the fifth sharp rise period, when the baby is 6 months old, he experiences the sixth sharp rise period, and when the baby is 9 months old, he experiences the seventh sharp rise period.
2. During the period of rapid growth, the baby will send 4 signals. Parents should not care about
1. There are many times to wake up at night
"Don't you know what happened to the baby recently? In the past, he slept until dawn. He always woke up these days and was trying to get breastfeeding. It's such a headache!" One of the characteristics of the baby during the period of rapid growth is that his sleep will regress, and the baby will wake up more at night than usual.
surge period is the stage of rapid development of the baby's body. Because the discomfort caused by growing the body will affect the baby's sleep state. For example, during the teething period, the baby will often feel itchy gums and swelling and painful gums. These physical discomforts will make the baby sleep uneasy and he will wake up frequently at night.
2. Signal of frequent milking
The development of babies is the most concerned issue for parents.
If one day, the mother finds that the baby is more active in breastfeeding, and the amount of milk eaten every day increases, and the baby often expresses his desire to eat milk.
Baby will often suck your fingers or drill into your mother's arms. This is the baby looking for milk to drink! This means that the baby has entered a period of rapid growth.
During the period of rapid growth, the baby needs to get more nutrition while developing. The original amount of milk can no longer meet his needs, so he needs to eat more milk.
Mom doesn’t have to doubt whether their milk has decreased because the baby always wants to eat milk. In fact, it’s not that the milk is insufficient, but because the baby’s demand for milk has increased.
3. Crying and making fun
The baby has a very irritable temper during the period of rapid growth and often starts to get angry intentionally or unintentionally because he can't speak yet, so he can only express his needs by crying.
Babies cry at any time. It is not because the baby makes their temperament, but because the pain caused by physical development during the sharp rise period, which makes the baby's mood more impatient.
4. The body development is obvious
Because of the increase in the amount of milk eaten, mothers will find that the baby's physical development mainly refers to the weight and height, and there will be a relatively significant increase. This is because the baby is in a period of rapid growth.
During the milk disgusting period, the baby will hate eating milk, but instead focus more on playing, and his weight will drop.However, it is different during the sharp rise period. Not only will the baby eat milk frequently, but his body also develops faster.
3.7 surge periods are rare. What should parents do during the surge period?
