A miracle has come to pass! You are congratulated on the birth of a child. Grandmothers and grandfathers are flooded with gifts. You are happy because the baby was born healthy and strong. For the first time taking in his hands and admiring his own and dear creation. Feel the surging tenderness and love. A small, tender body needs care and affection, and you want to protect it. This is natural for women and is called the maternal instinct. But so much still have to go through, learn, experience. Nobody knows what will happen. One thing is clear that Mom will do everything possible and impossible, so that her child is happy. A new stage in life begins.

It's great, when the maternity home was left in the past, and you and the baby and dad enter into an independent life. Already there will be a number of doctors who will prompt how to process and feed the crumbs. But it's not scary, Mom's around, which means everything will be fine. The first trip, to now home, the first bathing and sleeping in his crib. Time flies quickly, the month is over. You notice how the child grew up, swelling, redness. And every time during breastfeeding, you understand how precious this kid is to you.

But many parents make mistakes when they think, that will grow older and it will be easier. It will not be easier. It's not about your physical activity, it's about the work that you have to do for a long time, to deal with upbringing. You can not, having worked eight working hours, come home and forget about everything. Raising children is hard work.

A month or two has passed, you notice that the baby spends more time walking. Use this moment, do massage, the kids really like to feel affectionate touch. Sing a song so that the child can hear your voice, it will calm him down. Walking in the fresh air, useful and necessary occupation. The child breathes fresh air, develops lungs, and sleeps better.
Since three months, babies are holding a head, arms, and legs less involuntarily moving, as by this time the muscles are gradually developing. Many parents are now refusing swaddling babies. But this decision must be taken individually. If you see that your child is calm, when walking without diapers, then you can safely exclude swaddling. But if the child is nervous, scares himself, then it is better to wrap it up. This will make it possible to sleep peacefully, and will save the nervous system of your baby and yours. In addition, there are enough problems, the tummy is worried, the gases are excruciating. In order to alleviate suffering, you can put a warm diaper on your tummy, and stroke your palm clockwise. There are many ways, but the only true, Mom will choose for her own child.

With each month, the achievements of their children, parents and relatives will rejoice. At half a year the kid will learn to sit on his own, and already be interested in toys. A new stage in the life of the whole family will begin when the child learns to crawl. Then walk. Interest in the world around us will expand. The kid will want to know about everything, and then he will speak. How many questions will there be: why, why, and how? And for all the big victories, the smallest defeats will be watched by the most expensive people. And most importantly, they will always be there.

The most important thing for the full development of the baby, mother care. Breastfeeding is your concern for the baby. Despite the latest technology, no one has yet been able to come up with an analogue of breast milk. Do not be afraid of stretch marks and other blemishes after childbirth and feeding. After all, for every mother the most important is to give birth and raise a healthy child. Give all your love to your children, without a trace, and believe me, in the future you will receive rewards. A full-fledged, independent, worthy person.
