Shortly after birth, the baby will have to eat milk every 2-3 hours, regardless of the day and night; there is no distinction between breakfast, lunch, and meals.

In the first 3 months, the baby's daytime activities will gradually increase, night sleep will gradually be extended, and then, the baby will be divided into day and night. You just need to grasp this law of change; the interval between breastfeeding time also becomes shorter days and longer nights.

Artificially fed babies, parents can take the pacifier to test if the baby still wants to drink milk; the baby needs to drink milk when the parents stuff his pacifier spit out. Breastfed babies are more convenient, and when they are full, they will sleep obediently.

6: soothing massage to sleep

Babies want attention from mom and dad, so mom and dad may want to touch the baby and use regular gentle stimulation to lull the baby to sleep. There is no better way to do this than to pat your baby gently or take him for a walk, but don't rock him too much.

You can talk to your baby softly, stroke his back, pinch the soles of his feet and toes, etc. Your baby will soon calm down and eventually choose to sleep peacefully.
