In March, babies begin to pay attention to external sounds, and we can play some games with them to develop their hearing. For example: the mother shakes the rattle stick, and then hits the small drum to tease the baby to listen, and see if his expression will show different reactions. You can also let your baby listen to crying, laughing, kind words, commands, shouting, etc. to train your baby's auditory response and enrich his emotional experience.

At three months old, most babies' spitting up has eased, but some babies still spit up. For babies who still spit up milk, mothers need to observe them more closely and hold the baby at an angle for a while longer after breastfeeding. Do not bathe, train or do other activities right after feeding. Your baby's sleep and rest schedule is more regular now, and his wakefulness time is longer during the day. You need to talk, communicate, and play games with your baby more, otherwise he will feel bored. Babies basically need to feed once every 4 hours during the day, and generally only need to be fed once at night. If the baby sleeps well and does not wake up all night, it does not matter, there is no need to wake the baby to feed.

Babies who are exclusively breastfed generally do not need additional water before 4 months old; but babies who are bottle-fed need to be fed water once between breastfeeding. If the baby lacks calcium, it will lead to delayed bone development and late tooth eruption. In severe cases, symptoms such as square head, pigeon chest, hunchback, and calf curvature may also appear. Calcium is very important during infant development.
