The so-called "crying in January, making trouble in February, not sleeping in March", since the birth of the baby, every month will bring a different new "surprise", making many novice mothers difficult to resist.
And the most difficult in these 3 months is the "February trouble", when the mother bid farewell to the first month of the first month of motherhood, thinking that she has some "experience" with a baby, it will soon usher in the "first blow".
At 2 months old, the baby will cry at every turn, and when breastfeeding, it is also "half-hearted", especially when sleeping at night, no longer the quiet appearance of the first month, not only the frequency of night awakening is very high, but also it is difficult to fall asleep, which has caused countless mothers to collapse internally.
In fact, the reason why the baby will "make trouble in February" is actually their "bitterness", not deliberately "torturing" the parents, and there are certain benefits behind it, parents must be clear.
Why does your baby "make trouble in February"?
1. It may be flatulence and intestinal colic
Two months of age, is the baby's flatulence and intestinal colic high incidence period, at this time the baby feels gastrointestinal discomfort, easy to be emotionally irritable, will not be able to help crying loudly to vent emotions.
Generally speaking, the baby's flatulence is in 3 weeks, at least 3 days a week, every day for ten minutes to 3 hours of crying, parental comfort is difficult to play a role, intestinal colic is similar, but the performance is more serious.
2. Growth and development into the "fierce long-term"
Baby growth and development is not uniform, when the baby comes to February, it will enter a fierce period of growth and development, at this time the baby's weight, head circumference, height, etc. will develop at a faster rate, the demand for nutrition has increased, and often cry to tell the mother that they are hungry.
3. Eager to get attention
Some parents may find that the 2-month-old baby will become a "little spirit", deliberately using howling and crying to attract the attention of parents, but will not shed tears at all.
This is because at this time, the baby's vision gradually develops, cognitive ability further increases, and he will be more eager to get attention to increase his sense of security and have a certain "psychological need".
What are the benefits of the baby's "February noise"?
1. It is convenient for parents to judge the status of the baby
Since babies can't speak at 2 months old, we can only judge their needs based on crying.
For example, when the baby is hungry, it will make a more impatient cry, and accompanied by a "foraging signal", when sleepy, it will yawn, rub your eyes, close your eyes to make a loud cry, flatulence and intestinal colic will mostly erupt at dusk, and through the "February noise", we can better judge the baby's state and take care of it.
2. Improve parents' "baby skills"
For new parents, the "baby skills" are mastered step by step.
As a necessary stage for most babies, "February Trouble" can bring great improvement to parents' "baby skills", accelerate adaptation to identity change, and help the future "long road with baby".
How to deal with your baby's "February noise"?
Since there are specific reasons behind the baby's "February disturbance", we must be "targeted" when dealing with it, and take targeted measures based on the actual situation.
1. Achieve scientific feeding
At this time, the baby eats less at a time, and it is easy to cry because of hunger.
Generally speaking, we have to maintain a feeding interval of 2-3 hours, if the last time the baby ate has reached 3 hours, and the baby is very impatient, then it is likely to be due to hunger caused by crying, need to feed in time.
2. Learn to put your baby to sleep correctly
When many mothers coax their babies to sleep, they will habitually "hug and coax" and directly hold the baby in their arms.
In fact, such a method of coaxing is not scientific, on the one hand, parents "hug and coax" for a long time, it is easy to make themselves tired, on the other hand, it is not conducive to the development of the baby's ability to fall asleep independently, and it will be more and more difficult to fall asleep.
When we coax the baby to fall asleep, we can first try low comfort, weak comfort, for the baby to develop certain sleep habits, such as entering the room, drinking bedtime milk, changing diapers, pulling the curtains, turning off the lights, through several clear steps to establish a bedtime ritual to coax the baby to fall asleep, you can better avoid the baby crying before going to bed, it is not easy to fall asleep.
3. Correctly deal with intestinal colic and flatulence
Due to the immature gastrointestinal development and weak digestive ability of newborns, flatulence and intestinal colic are normal physiological manifestations.
To alleviate gastrointestinal problems such as intestinal colic and flatulence in the baby, we must first rule out whether there is an overfeed problem, regular feeding of the baby, and then you can do some exhaust exercises, more than half an hour after milk, and burp for the baby, which can play a role in alleviating.
Crooked Mom Conclusion:
In fact, every baby can become an "angel baby", the key lies in the way parents cope.
When the baby experiences the "February disturbance", we should learn to observe the baby's characteristics, identify the baby's needs, and use patience and love to "prescribe the right medicine", in order to play a multiplier effect with half the effort.
