Baby development standards and feeding in the third month

The birth of a newborn brings great joy to many families, but the care of the child's body cannot be neglected. Changing the child's diapers every day, observing the child's physical development, and giving the child a physical examination are all necessary items. In the following article, let's take a look at the baby's development standards in the third month.

Third month*Physiological indicators: At three months, the baby girl weighs 3.9~7.0 cm and is 54.6~64.5 cm long. The head circumference is approximately 37.4-42.2 cm, with an average of 39.8 cm.

* Parenting tips: Give your baby rich sensory stimulation and change his position frequently so that he can become familiar with the surrounding environment from many aspects and gain different visual experiences.

By letting the baby lie prone or holding the baby upright, you can help the baby practice lifting his head and exercise the supporting strength of the baby's cervical spine. Use toys to encourage your baby to pronounce words. Train your hearing and initially develop the ability to track the source of sound and sense the distance of sound.

Exercise your baby's skin and bathe him frequently as long as his heart is fine. Babies cannot crawl, but may fall from the big bed. When adults leave, don't forget to put the baby in a small bed with railings. Your baby’s toys should not be smaller than his mouth. The baby is still young and there is a risk of suffocation if the mother lies down to breastfeed.

For babies who only eat milk, you can add fruit juice. For breastfed babies, if they like to drink it, you can also add fruit juice. * Developmental indicators: When lying prone, the child can lift half of the chest and support the upper body with the elbows; the head can be straightened; the eyes can look at both hands, and the hands can hold each other, and the child can grab clothes, hair, and face; the eyes can follow objects 180 degrees; the child can smile when seeing people; the child can answer questions out loud, scream, and make long vowels. *Expert Tip: Most babies should take calcium supplements at this time. It is too early to take your baby to public places. Let your baby taste various flavors as early as possible to prepare for adding complementary foods in the future. You should check it out. If you fail to meet the target, you should find out the reason.
