How to care for a four-month-old baby

The baby's body is very fragile, and the baby needs to be cared for, so as to ensure the baby's physical health and avoid problems with baby care that affect the baby's physical health. Therefore, the baby's parents must learn to care for the baby. So how should a four-month-old baby be cared for? Well, let me introduce this issue to you below.

A 4-month-old baby can basically turn his head flexibly. When lying on his stomach, he can support his head and chest with his hands. He can sit up by holding on to his hands and hips. The connection between vision and hearing has been established, and the movements of vision and hands have also been coordinated. He begins to touch the things he sees with his hands, grab them according to his line of sight, and look for them when he hears a sound. He can also laugh out loud when he is teased, and respond to communication with his mother with sounds.

When caring for a 4-month-old baby, you should pay attention to the following: frequently stimulate the baby's sight, hearing, senses and perception to promote brain development; communicate with the baby frequently, or listen to music and songs to promote hearing and language development; pay attention to the baby's motor training, such as turning over, grasping, and touching; cultivate the habit of urination and defecation; breastfeeding is still the main method, and complementary foods can be added as appropriate; the first injection of DPT vaccination should be given from the fourth month, which can effectively prevent whooping cough, diphtheria, and tetanus.

For babies aged four months, breastfeeding should still be the main focus. It is best to add complementary foods after the baby is four months old. If the mother has enough milk, do not rush to add complementary foods to the baby. If there is sunshine, it is time to take your baby out to bask in the sun at 9-10 am every day. .

The best time to add complementary foods to your baby is when the baby is 4-6 months old. It is not good to add complementary foods too early or too late. After four months, add egg yolk and rice flour as complementary foods. Start with one-quarter of an egg yolk and only add one per day. After three days if there is no discomfort, add the other one.

The above is my opinion on this issue. The baby’s body is also very fragile at four months old, so the baby must pay attention to physical health issues to avoid dangerous situations caused by the above problems. In particular, the baby’s parents must learn to take good care of the baby, so as to ensure the baby’s physical health.
