The appearance of a baby in the house makes significant changes in the usual way of life. Each mother has to carefully think over her new daily routine, adjusting to the baby.
During the first month, it is necessary to carefully observe the baby, his behavior and reaction. You can mark the time of awakening, eating.
Soon it will be very clearly noticeable that the child has his own life algorithm. After that, the mother will have to adjust the daily routine of the crumbs to her schedule, adjusting it if necessary and, of course, be patient. All this will make life much easier and fill it with tranquility.
Undoubtedly, each child is individual in its own way and has its own daily routine.
However, we can distinguish the approximate intervals of his sleep and wakefulness:
- 5-6 o'clock in the morning is the time of the first feeding. The baby can wake up the mother with a demanding cry, especially if he is bottle-fed. If the child remains dry after eating, you can calmly enjoy the pre-morning hours of rest with him.
-
9 o'clock in the morning is the time to get up, because the baby is hungry again. The first step is to feed him, after which you can do the morning ritual, which includes a diaper change and water procedures. Of course, mom should also not forget to have breakfast herself, because proper nutrition is an important component of full-fledged breastfeeding.
- 10-11 hours - at this time you can go outside. Fresh air is very beneficial for both mom and baby.
- 12 o'clock - the newborn demands breast, he wants to eat. It will be very useful to lay the baby on his stomach before feeding and carry out gymnastic procedures for infants. After that, he will fall asleep again for a while, giving his mother moments of peace and the opportunity to do chores around the house.
- 15 hours - refeeding, after which you can go for a second walk.
- 18 hours is a great time for water procedures.
Some babies sleep well at night from birth, so mums have to wake them up to maintain successful breastfeeding. But most children wake up on their own, demanding breasts. These feedings are considered the most important because they support lactation and should not be neglected.
In order for the baby to sleep all night, it is necessary to provide him with a calm atmosphere, if possible, eliminating all the inconveniences.
Chief among them are:
- Hunger. If the child is full, he will not wake up. Therefore, it is advisable to timed the time between feedings. If the baby is constantly asking for breast, you can consult a pediatrician on this topic and introduce complementary foods at night;
- Moisture. Dry nappies are an integral part of restful sleep. Nowadays, using disposable diapers makes life much easier for moms. The baby sleeps well at night, and there is no need to constantly change his clothes;
- Cold. When putting your baby to bed at night, you should dress the baby well or cover him with a warm blanket, as long as he does not sweat.
The daily routine of a baby's life is a rather complex mechanism that is laid down by nature. But you can also make changes to it, directing it in the right direction. To do this, parents need to invest all their strength and patience in this process.
