What bothers the baby from 6 months to 1 year old
A healthy child in 6-12 months crying and crying is much less than before. By this age are regulated the regimes of the day, sleep and walks, nutrition and digestion. It can be said that the little boy has become accustomed to this world and he even has his own habits. But this is also a difficult period, because the baby starts to crawl, its activity rises and attention is attracted to absolutely everything that is around.
The loud, harsh sounds that recently frightened him, provoking a crying, can now cause only ordinary vigilance. The grown-up infant no longer cries for any reason, he can express his discontent with a whimper, and he will cry with resentment only if adults do not pay attention to him.
So why do children cry, what bothers them? Sometimes they cry for fear, for example, from the sound of a working vacuum cleaner. Some cry when they are bathed, if one day during bathing there was some kind of trouble, such as getting soap in the eyes. It even happens that the child is wary of a new large toy: the big monkey - or the image of an owl or an owl in pictures in children's books.
How to treat such reactions of the baby?
Try to closely observe the child, and if it turns out that he panics whenever you turn on the vacuum cleaner or when you see a huge toy, then do the cleaning while the child is on a walk, and also hide all objects that he does notlike and bother. With the child and his anxieties should be considered exactly the same as with all members of the family and their worries, even if childhood fears seem completely meaningless to you. It is useless to try to explain to the child that his fears are in vain. Just need to exclude sources of anxiety and panic. For the health of the baby will certainly be better, if he has no reason for fear and crying. As a rule, such fears go unnoticed by themselves, only time and patience are needed. The less and less frightened the baby, the faster his fears will flee.
Most children do not like to change clothes, especially if clothes are pulled or removed over the head. At the same time, they can wriggle out, loudly protest and even cry. Learn how to disguise a child. Be accustomed to the idea that with the fears of a child, even if they seem unfounded to you, you must reckon the same way as with the emotions of any adult family member.
is smart and fast, so as to lessen unpleasant emotions. If the father has not learned to cope with this simple matter, then it is better not to trust him with the baby until he overcomes the science of changing clothes.
A child can cry from surprise and fright if, for example, in the morning, after a dream, instead of a mother someone else, even a familiar person, approaches him or tries to wash and feed him breakfast. Simply the kid has got used to the certain rhythm of a life, consecutive phenomena and employment, and it already crying from fear and unexpectedness simultaneously.
New items sometimes frighten the child precisely with their unpredictability, like new people. The kid can get scared and cry if he sees a man with a big beard for the first time, because his father does not have a beard and it's unclear what this is and what can be expected from such a terrible uncle. And even quite cute, from the point of view of adults, but unfamiliar to the kid, people sometimes cause crying and fierce protest even when they try to treat it to something delicious or to give a toy. The same reactions are possible from the first meeting with a dog, a horse, the first attempts to ride a sled or a swing.
In such situations, you just have to calmly calm down, warn the baby. Attentive parents can and must assume the reaction of their child and warn her.
It is better, of course, to avoid frightening moments, because in time everything itself falls into place.
Some children do not like to stay alone in the room for a long time and begin to cry. Often a child cries or cries if he can not get the toy that fell out of the crib. Crying, he still attracts the attention of adults to himself and his needs.
On the behavior of the child, you can easily determine the onset of an alarming moment: a smile disappears from the face, he stopped anxiously, although he was just babbling something his own, and all tense. .. So, we must quickly calm the baby, divert attention with your favorite toy: whyDo you cry for nothing?
But there are situations when the child should be told "not."For example, you can not approach the stove in the kitchen, etc. Children's curiosity is fraught with troubles, so a "slider" requires vigilant surveillance. But the word "impossible" does not like crumbs, it prevents him from exploring the territory, getting acquainted with new objects and often provokes a protest, which can be expressed with loud crying. True, this is no longer a sign of anxiety, danger or illness. This is discontent and even anger.
A few months will pass, and the child will remember and even agree that something can not be done. In the meantime, you will not have to pay attention to his cries of protest and insist on reasonable restrictions. Of course, the fewer prohibitions, the better, because you must let the child study the world.
Screaming and crying will be less if the parents reasonably use the fact that the child's attention can easily be switched from one to another.
It is easy to distract from forbidden objects of the kid with an interesting toy or simply affectionate conversation.
A child under the age of 1 year can cry and from his own inability or impotence, when he does not manage to do something on his own, for example, to open some kind of box.
If he takes a long time to do something, snorts, his patience is at the limit and it is obvious that he alone can not cope, it is better to help him a little;another time, perhaps he will overcome his own business.
The more mobile the child becomes, the more frequent first bruises, abrasions, scratches occur. It is almost impossible to avoid this. Just need to time in time to treat injuries with iodine, zelenka or rinse under running cold water. If the wound bleeds, you can apply a bandage. Well, the baby will have to be reassured if he is greatly frightened by what happened.
It happens, of course, that the child whimpers and cries, because he is unwell. Then capricious behavior may be the first symptom of any disease.
When a baby begins crying for no apparent reason, one should pay attention to the color of his face, the stool, to measure the temperature. If there are changes, then most likely, you will need a doctor's consultation.
But, perhaps, the child just does not tolerate any new dish and his tummy got sick. After all during this period, various lures are actively introduced. Therefore, every new type of food, let's take it separately, to track the reaction of the child's organism to them.
that and a painful condition, it is necessary to urgently call a doctor to establish an accurate diagnosis. It can be an intestinal infection that quickly weakens the child, dehydrating his body. Before the doctor comes, let the little child drink boiled water. When diarrhea is more likely to wash your baby to avoid skin irritation.
From some dishes, for example from any vegetable purees with the addition of beet, the baby can begin diarrhea. A single case of diarrhea is not at all an object for panic - it is necessary to find out what caused the cause, and to exclude it.
Toddler can disturb and constipation. Normally, his chair should be one or several times a day. But if the chair is missing for more than a day, then it's constipation.
When the baby is breastfed, the mother must introduce into her diet more vegetables with coarse fiber, prunes, fruits, exclude sweets and pastries. A child in lure should be given vegetable purees and increase the amount of liquid consumed - juices, water.
The work of the intestine is well stimulated by yogurt, oats and buckwheat porridges, carrot and beet juice, puree from prunes. A bit of everything.
Sometimes, a baby with constipation is treated well by an ordinary enema( No. 1).It will need a rubber can, an oilcloth, diapers, petroleum jelly, warm boiled water or a decoction of chamomile.
Make an enema so: changing table is covered with oilcloth, the diaper is put on top, the baby is laid on the back. Then they collect water in the enema( completely, so that no air remains) and lubricate its tip with vaseline oil. The legs of the toddler are raised upward and gently, effortlessly, slowly injecting the enema into the anus, slightly as if turning the enema around its axis. The child is unlikely to like it, he is likely to break away and protest.
We must confidently hold it with our hands, so that the liquid will stay in the colon for a while( at least a minute or two).One or two cylinders are enough to alleviate the condition of the child.
In the fight against constipation, easy stroking of the abdomen helps in the clockwise direction.
The appearance of teeth. In , ages 6-12 months, the child's teeth are cut. The first two lower front teeth appear, then the two upper front teeth. By the age of eight months, three more upper anterior forearms erupt. In 10 months, two lower anterior ones appear. The first molar is erupted by the end of the first year or later.
The appearance of teeth sometimes gives children great anxiety. They start pulling everything in their mouths, biting everything furiously.
To ease the condition will help biting any object, for example a special ring, of course, flawlessly clean. Some children eagerly chew crackers.
