How to judge irritability in newborns

Irritability This is a type of newborn baby who is more impulsive, angry, and prone to temper tantrums. Compared with other babies, this type of baby is more difficult to coax. Their emotions are not very stable, they are not easy to comfort, and they find it difficult to accept new things. I believe that parents should pay special attention to this situation, so let me introduce in detail how to judge whether a newborn is irritable.

Irritable babies represent a temperamental type of baby. Temperament type mainly refers to a typical combination of common or similar psychological activity characteristics manifested in people.

Irritable babies mainly refer to children who are extremely impulsive and lack control of emotions and behaviors in various situations and activities. This type of infant is similar to the difficult infant among the three types of infants of Thomas and Chess and the impulsive infant in Bass's temperament-activity characteristics theory.

Characteristics and parenting methods of irritable babies

The prominent characteristics of this type of baby are that they often cry loudly, are irritable, have temper tantrums, and are difficult to comfort. Their emotions are unstable, changeable and impulsive. They lack regularity in their eating, sleeping and other physiological functions, and are slow to accept new things, new foods and new environments.

Parenting suggestions: Due to the irritable nature of this type of baby, adults need to spend more effort to accept this type of baby. Therefore, it requires great patience and love in the process of raising a child, and try to show care in terms of lifestyle. Parents should adapt to their children's personality characteristics as quickly as possible, understand the physiological signals they send, and meet their needs. It is important not to ignore this type of baby, otherwise it will easily lead to alienation of family relationships and incomplete social development of the baby.

How to take care of an irritable and difficult baby?

1. When the baby starts crying, parents must respond to the baby's emotional signals in a timely manner and make soothing actions, such as patting and stroking the back, to make the baby feel that the living environment is safe.

2. Parents should use exaggerated facial expressions and sounds to interact with their babies to make the language more interesting; if the expression looks happy, the baby will be happier too.

3. Irritable and difficult-to-raise babies have poor ability to adapt to and accept new environments and new things. Do not change caregivers frequently, as babies are prone to feeling nervous and anxious.

4. Maintain a regular daily routine, such as the time interval between feedings, the time to put the baby to sleep, and even the placement of items in the home should be regular.

5. Parents should not quarrel in front of their baby, as this will increase the baby's heart rate, blood pressure, and increase anxiety.
