Children from 0 to 1 year: development and nutrition

Every mom tries to grow and raise her baby as best as possible. And in search of better methods begins to draw information from everywhere - newspapers, magazines, television, the exchange of experience. Already being pregnant, a woman begins to represent and plan the future life of the child, the conditions of his upbringing and development both at home and in the future children's team in the kindergarten.

Development

And now the life path of the new little man begins. In the period from 0 to 3 months, the baby listens to your singing, when you sing to him a lullaby, hears the music when you turn it on. It is believed that the best for young children perceive the classics.

The most difficult period for parents when choosing a method of development is children from 0 to 1 year. Development and nutrition during this period should go for the mother (first of all) to the first place.

When the child's age approaches three months, he begins to produce conscious movements with his handles. From this moment, you should start to deal with the baby. Still the most primitive and simple way - the so-called finger games. It is necessary to train the child, to give him the opportunity to acquire knowledge deftly grabbing an object (for example, a toy), hold it, shift it from hand to hand and give back to you. There are a lot of exercises that help to develop the motor skills of the hands.

It is possible to begin the massage in the same period, which is very popular with children of this age. You can massage and need legs and pens, tummy and back. As for the method of massage for children and the timing of the onset of this type of procedure, it is best to consult your pediatrician.

In a month and a half - two months, children already begin to hold the head, you need to lay them on your tummy more often. Babies at this age need your support in the form of a dialogue: he smiled - you smile, too, he says "aga" - talk to him, make different sounds.

At three or four months the child tries to laugh for the first time. This sound is more like a joyful squeal. And in 5 months the baby can already be tried, but only in a semi-sitting position. It should be rested on a pillow or roller. It will be possible to see that the child is already trying to sit on his own.

Approximately in five - six months it is necessary to give the child set of various toys. He will consider them, study them - creating in his head his vision of objects and the world as a whole. At six months old the child is already sitting.

Food

Children from five months should begin to introduce complementary foods - it does not depend on the amount of milk from the mother. The baby needs to increase the amount and variety of proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates and mineral salts produced. Breast milk can no longer satisfy all these needs. Therefore, the lure is so necessary at this age. It is necessary that the food in the complementary food be more nutritious and contain the substances necessary for the child, which it lacks when feeding enough milk and cow's milk.

Lure up it is necessary to enter gradually, to begin with two - three tea spoons before feeding by a breast, and then gradually to increase its quantity while the lure completely does not replace one feeding. To change the lure and move to another of its kind, you can only when the baby gets used to the first. The mass must be puree (homogenized), so as not to cause any difficulty in swallowing. For the first time, you can try to set vegetable puree, or semolina porridge on a decoction of vegetables for half with milk. First, it is better to introduce vegetable puree, because then the children reluctantly eat it, if you start with cereal.

Children from 0 to 1 year, their development and nutrition, - a laborious process, especially if it is the first-born. But anyway, no one knows better than mom how and what to teach and how to feed her baby.
