Child's day schedule 3-4 months

The child's schedule, which appeared 3-4 months ago in your family, acquires more pronounced outlines and time periods. Already at this tender age it is time to accustom it to discipline - even at the initial level, when the subconscious of the baby only understands the habit reflex.

At three months, the child must sleep as much as it does in two months, with the only difference - he already starts to orient himself in time. Now your child not only sleeps, in his spare time he wants to move more and, of course, I want to communicate with my beloved parents. By the way, we will give you useful advice, which will contribute to the development of the immunity of the baby from the first days of his life. If you live in a house, let your little one sleep in the garden in the fresh air in the daytime, whether you live in an apartment or near an open window.

Young parents should not forget that it is at the age of three to four months that the baby is laid the foundation, the foundation of his health - that is why it is so important to devote a lot of time and energy to ensuring that the child's 3-4-month schedule is as convenient for him and for you .

So, to start the day follows from the same, where you start it - washing and, of course, toilet eyes. If before mother had to mess around with boric acid and water, thoroughly boiled, or use eyelashes with chamomile broth or weak tea leaves to rinse, then for a child of 3-4 months such procedures are no longer needed. His tear glands are already sufficiently developed, and therefore the eyes do not need additional permanent moisturizing. The only exception is, if, God forbid, your child is diagnosed with conjunctivitis - all these procedures will take place in the first "part of the daily routine for the child - in the morning wash.

If you take a cotton swab and moisten it in a lukewarm water (preferably boiled beforehand), rub the corners of the baby's eyes, where after the sleep there remain pricked mucus discharge - this will be enough for that. So that the child feels comfortable until the next dream. Watch only that the clot of slime did not get on a conjunctiva of an eye - differently it can scratch a gentle glazik the child. Rub eyes can not be washed by washing them, choose the direction from the inner - to the outer corner of the eye.

A child who has already turned 3-4 months old enough to grow marigolds quickly - so the mother should be extremely alert and cut off tiny scales before the baby, waving his arms, will injure them. However, it is important not to overdo it - too short-cropped nails can subsequently cause an unpleasant and painful build-up of the skin on the nail plate.

After your child is washed and clean, you can safely embark on entertainment. Get his favorite toys, arrange a presentation for the kid, amuse him. Just do not forget that toys with which the crumb directly contacts must be clean. They should be washed regularly in boiled water with soap or treated with some antiseptic. If you have older children, do not let them play with baby's rattles. They certainly have their own entertainment, so it will be better if they take care of them.

If earlier you walked with a crumb quite a bit, fearing that it would be difficult to adapt to the environment, then for the child 3-4 months in the daily routine provided longer walks. Now you can go for a drive in the park and quiet streets 2-3 hours in summer and spring, and about two hours - late autumn and winter. Although, if you noticed that on a thermometer on a hot day, the temperature rose above 30 degrees - stay at home. A child in 3-4 months is still weak, he can get a sunstroke. And in winter it's better to sit in a warm room, when outside the window - minus 10 or more, the child should not freeze.

The child's day schedule should necessarily include such an item as massage. In this case, it is desirable to do it twice a day - in the morning and in the evening, only when the baby is asleep and full of energy - otherwise, massage will not bring him pleasure. Besides. you need to ensure that from the last feeding to the beginning of the massage was not less than 20 minutes - because exercises on a full stomach can cause regurgitation of food. The child, who has already turned 3-4 months old, needs a massage, because it promotes the movement of lymph and blood flow, stimulates muscles, relieves tissues from stagnant phenomena. In general, it helps to improve the mood and makes the baby's body stronger, healthier.

If you want a professional to massage your baby, call a specialist at home. However, be prepared for the fact that for his services he will take a considerable bribe. Although, frankly, the complex of exercises for massage a child 3-4 months is very simple, you can do it yourself, at home. We will tell you what exercises a professional masseur usually does to a child - and you will realize that there is nothing difficult in this.

So, massage usually begins with stroking your hands. Usually this exercise is done in the direction from the wrist to the shoulder. Following stroking movements, massage the baby's legs, following from the foot to the tiny thigh. After that, put the crumb on your tummy - let it blow your legs. At the same time gently massage his back, just avoid the movements that would press on the weak and supple children's spine. After this, return the baby to its original position (that is, on the back), and with a circular motion of hands, stroke his tummy clockwise. Then follows a foot massage - easily rub and mash them. Again, put the crumb on the tummy, put your hands under his feet - let him rest and try to creep forward. To interest a kid - put a goal in front of him, for example, his favorite toy or some bright rustling object.

All these exercises should not take a long time, otherwise the child will get tired and bored. Then you can be sure that the next massage session will pass with tears in your eyes.

The daily routine should be comfortable for mom and baby, but do not forget that in the evening the child needs to buy (especially if it's summer outdoors, then you need to bathe daily). This usually takes half an hour or a little more.

Usually, after the baby has taken a warm bath, he really wants to eat and rather go to bed. Therefore, the mother should take advantage of the moment and put the child, who was moped with water, into the crib.
