Child development in 2 months
When a newborn is born, his body is not used to finding a new environment and the baby is lying in a crib in the frog's position. But after a month he acquires new reflexes, begins to move, moves independently to the edge of the crib and may even fall, so he needs constant supervision.
Another characteristic feature of children of this age is the interest in their own body. Kids begin to play with their legs and handles and begin to hold their heads on their own. Therefore, more often let him lie on his stomach so that he can develop muscles. But do not do this for too long a time period, preferably for a short while, but often change the position of the baby. The child begins to be actively interested in all the objects around. Particular attention is attracted to moving things, rattles, which mom brings to the face, and pishchalki.
The baby begins to react differently to events. Mom will be different when the baby squeaks with pleasure, hunger or discomfort in diapers.
Usually children of two months of age commit the following actions:
- Try to taste everything that is around
- Likes when he is carried on his hands, allowing to examine in detail the world around him
- Widely smiles with joy, while actively moving the handles and legs
- Independently stretches and touches subjects he likes
Proper care and nutrition
The most important problem of children in two months is the colic in the abdomen. Therefore, before feeding it is recommended to turn the baby for a short time on the stomach, and after feeding it is a little bit to vilify in an upright position. In addition, lightweight circular massage of the stomach or dill water will help ease the swelling.
Closely monitor the skin. Since the child often urinates, he may have diaper rash, which should be covered with baby powder. On the head there may be a crust with scales, which is usually removed with a pad moistened with baby oil. It is, of course, possible to feed the baby according to the schedule. But so you risk overfeeding it too much. Therefore, it is better to give milk only at the request of the smallest member of the family and to monitor whether it is saturated. Breaks between meals gradually increase and can reach three hours.
Day and game mode
- The children's day schedule in two months is strictly individual. Some sleep almost all night, but then rest less during the day. But in any case, the daytime sleep will account for several hours.
- To accustom a child to a certain schedule, try to bathe and walk with it at the same time.
- In fact, to create an optimal schedule will help monitor the nature and behavior of the baby, as well as its energy.
- Since the child needs less time to rest, you can pay more attention to its development. Try to attract his attention with bright and moving objects. The simplest thing you can do is dress bright socks of different colors.
- Develop hearing rattles. It is better if you show them to the child from different angles to allow the baby to develop more and vision.
- Be sure to communicate with the child and call him by name, entering the room. So the kid will get used to the voice of mother and will wait with impatience of the next arrival of the mother.
