Baby upbringing and developmentin the first year of life

During the nine months of pregnancy, preparations are made for the arrival of the new roommate. The children's room will be equipped for infants with a cot, baby changing unit, music box, a mobile over the bed and many other things that you as parents will enjoy, so that the little person will feel completely at home in the new environment.

Who expects the first child, does not know at all, which large changes occur. Even if you inform yourself with books, videos and with other parents, you still do not have the knowledge, which you need for your small earth citizen. Because every infant is different.

They may have learned to wrap the infant and satisfy needs such as sleep and hunger. But there is much more in this little person that keeps you on your toes, doesn't let you sleep at night and completely turns your normal daily routine upside down.

There is also a certain anxiety about doing something wrong or not interpreting the child's signals correctly, especially when young people move into their new home for the first time after birth. The first weeks are very turbulent. But your baby develops a little further every day and learns new things.

This little miracle will amaze you when you experience the growth and development in the first months up close.

Enjoy this time, because you can't bring them back, even if you sometimes reach the limit of your strength.

Throw your fears and concerns overboard and look forward to the wonderful challenge that awaits you after the birth of your child. Trust your intuition in many things, which will present you with the right decision in dealing with your little human child on a silver platter. Enjoy the development that you experience every day at first hand.

You do not need to worry about this, because this decrease is quite normal. It is part of the process of adaptation to the new life that takes place outside the womb. Even if the little ones know how to suck, they still have to learn how to drink first. About ten percent of the birth weight is lost in the first few days.

If your baby is around 10 days old, it will usually regain weight and grow between two and four centimetres in the first month.

A quarter of the body weight is the head of a newborn. To hold this, however, the strong muscles are still missing. In an adult, the head accounts for only ten percent of the body weight. At the beginning, the bladder of newborns is still very small, so that it can only absorb 60 to 100 ml of urine. In the same way the feeling for the bladder is not yet developed, why the newborns so often in the diapers make.

A baby's stomach is just the size of a hen's egg. Once they are full after feeding, a feeling of hunger quickly returns.

Therefore, it is not surprising that your newborn baby is regularly fed at night in order to satisfy the apparently insatiable hunger.

Newborns cannot yet consciously grasp and move. Even if the little ones ho
