Spring beckons to the street. Do not resist! Catch the whiff of a light breeze, turn the face of the little girl to the gentle rays of the April sun. Enjoy! And for a walk to last as long as possible, it's worth taking care of the food for the little one. "Duty" apple is not relevant now. By this time there were no useful vitamins in it, but there are plenty of harmful substances that have extended the shelf life up to the middle of spring. Children's cookies do not fit every kid, and hardly it can be called a full meal.
But this does not mean that the walk should be squeezed into the standard "from feeding to feeding". Believe me, the little woman and the artificer have something to offer.
We work up the appetite
Is the baby on natural feeding? It's fine! After all, you, Mummy, do not need to take bottles, jars, bibs for a walk. All the necessary food for the child is always with you. There is no need to control the hours of feeding: the crumb itself will tell when it will get hungry.
If the baby is in the wheelchair, then lower the hood and go to the deserted place. A park where birds can be heard, what could be better? Read it while the baby is watching sweet dreams. The older karapuz frolics on the playground. Watch only that his hands are not frozen (metal structures are still cold). After a short winter walks in a deserted park your baby will see many children. Learn to make acquaintances! Walk up? Now you can thoroughly refresh yourself!
Koo-koo, I'm here!
It is very convenient to feed the crumbs in the sling - a convenient thing for the mother! Cover it and chest with a cloth - and the baby will enjoy Mom's milk as much as she likes. You can walk, sit, even communicate with friends - no one will notice anything.
Having eaten, the little one will fall asleep again sweetly.
Sling very much helps moms who have more than one child. While the younger one is looking at dreams or sucking his chest, you will take care of the eldest child: play with him, tell something interesting. Both will be satisfied. The first is because he is full and feels you; the second is because Mom gives him a lot of attention. And you will not tire of it.
I want to handle
Is the kid fussing in the sling - a handy thing for mom? Well, maybe the stroller is your option. Although usually children only "for" a joint stay next to my mother! Moreover, the favorite milk is always near and available! Why is he crying?
The first attempt at wearing was unsuccessful? Do not hurry to give up. Try again and again. Look for a convenient position for both. Other children need to constantly feel the rhythm. Wearing a sling, go, and the faster, the better. The motion sickness will calm the youngster - and he will fall asleep.
From the age of four months, some babies are already looking at the world around them. They are all interested! It is clear that if such a crumb close review, he will protest. Hence, the position of "face to the world" for him is the best option.
Maybe you picked up a too big or a small sling, or you mis-put it on. Call a consultant who will teach you how to use it.
We refill the wardrobe
Of course, it is very uncomfortable to feed the child in ordinary clothes. Unbutton the sweatshirt, tear up the T-shirt ... You're shy, you try to limit the time of the baby's crumbs stay. And you can easily catch a cold. Clothes for feeding will help to avoid these inconveniences. It is enough to unbutton the lightning and get a breast out of a special slot so that the kid clings to it! By the way, you will not be difficult to pick up not only casual clothes for feeding, but also festive!
From the bottle!
Before you leave the house, the mother of an artificial baby needs a little more time to prepare. But this does not mean that the walk will not last long. We advise you to buy a backpack in which you will put all the most necessary for feeding: a bottle, thermos, napkins. By the way, even if the crumb does not feed on breast milk, it can also be (and must be!) Worn in a sling - a convenient thing for the mother or backpack. First, it's convenient. Secondly, such children need to feel the warmth of their mother's body more often than babies. Joint walks are what you need for this.
The child does not have to be taken out of the sling to feed. There are several provisions in which he will gladly eat. A stroller for such children is also useful. Especially if the crumb has already started walking. After pushing your personal transport or, sitting in it, independently eating from a bottle - it's so funny!
I'm already an adult!
A one-year-old can eat himself? Therefore, he can be trusted with a spoon even on the street. Yes, not everyone will fall into his mouth, but he will be wonderful. Check it out! What happens when one of the friends treats the crumb? If it's something sweet, offer a small one to eat a treat after the main meal, but be sure to make sure that both children (the giver and the host) have clean hands. In addition, it's time to teach the child to share. But only with the permission of the mother of a new friend. Only she knows if it is possible for him that food, which you decided to treat to the crumb. Bon Appetit! On the street it comes faster.
Vkusnyatina with spoons
Do you have big plans for the day? Site, park, meeting with friends? You need to think over the food for a few hours ahead of the baby! If the baby is already eating a lure, then as a snack can come canned food or other ready-made food. Choose something nutritious and not very heavy, for example, porridge, yogurt or puree in plastic packaging. And do not forget about water!
So that the baby does not get dirty, take a breastplate (it can be easily cleaned with a wet cloth). And, of course, a favorite and bright spoon! Without it, nowhere!
Children, for whom the main food is a mixture, food should be prepared in advance. In the street, everything will be at hand! So, just before the output, prepare the mixture and immediately put the bottle in a thermo bag or container, where the optimal temperature will be maintained for some time. If you plan to walk throughout the day, you will have to take a pack of the mixture with you and make another portion of food outside the house. The main thing is to have the necessary amount of water in the thermos. It should be taken with you if you go to visit, in order to avoid a possible bowel disorder in the youngster due to the use of unusual for his body water.
Dry and wet wipes are also useful. We eat, wipe the mouth - and forward, to new discoveries!
Warm and comfortable!
Feed crumbs anywhere and at any time allows special clothing. If a few years ago it was a rarity, then now a fairly large selection. In spring, jumper, sweaters and sweaters are relevant. Their secret is two overlapping layers in the smell on the chest. Under them it is convenient to wear a vest, raglan or t-shirt for nursing mothers. Well, do not forget about the bra with detachable cups! Mums, who have access to the Internet, it is easier to choose the right model. The entire wardrobe can be purchased in special online stores with home delivery. There is no need to run around the city in search of clothes. All brought to the apartment (sometimes even different sizes), and even with fitting!
Do you like long walks with the baby? For you - sling-scarf, May-sling or a special ergonomic backpack. In them, the load is distributed evenly on both the shoulders and the back. Besides, your hands are free! In such adaptations you can carry a child up to four years. Some mothers are intimidated by the difficulty of tying a sling-scarf. In fact, it will not be difficult! Just a few samples will lead to the desired result. With a backpack it's even easier: two key-clicks - and you and the little one are ready to go! By the way, most dads gladly wear their child in them. If a sling or sling scarf few of the men agree to wear, then the backpack - without objection!
Slings / Carry
For the newborn, it is best to use a sling with rings. In it the baby lies, as if in a cradle: his chin rests against the chest, and the legs are pressed to the stomach. This situation reminds the child of the wonderful months spent in my mother's tummy.
Older geese are very interesting to observe what is happening around. For them, you can use the horizontal position, on the side, facing the mother or the world. There are models with soft sides and without.
