Causes and preventive measures:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Causes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>when his nappy or clothes cause discomfort, he needs to be changed<\/li>\n<li>when something hurts (e.g. colic)<\/li>\n<li>when he's hungry<\/li>\n<li>if he has thermal discomfort<\/li>\n<li>if tired<\/li>\n<li>cries when she needs love and security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The baby does not cry in vain!!!!<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Prevention measures:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>we change the nappy often, we don't wait for the baby to \"ask\". We implicitly prevent the risk of irritations and other health problems (urinary infections etc)<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>we permanently consult our paediatrician<\/em><\/strong>and it guides us with what to do when we suspect a health problem<\/li>\n<li>Feed your baby on demand, but no more often than every 1.5 hours, and in the first period, no more than 3 hours after the last feeding. If too much time passes between feedings, there is a risk of dehydration.<\/li>\n<li>regulate the temperature and humidity in the room according to the paediatrician's recommendations<\/li>\n<li>We respect the baby's sleep cycles (at the beginning the baby needs more sleep) Discuss with the paediatrician<\/li>\n<li>from the first moments of life, the baby should stay with mum. The mother does everything she feels and can so that the baby is calm and does not cry: she changes the nappy, changes the clothes, adjusts the temperature in the room to be optimal for the baby, talks to him, caresses him, feeds him when he asks for it etc), this since the maternity ward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>Instead of learning that you need to cry to be heard, learn that you don't need to cry to be well!!!! Don't let the baby cry!!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From time to time he will need to feel you close and when he \"starts crying\" you go to him, talk to him, cuddle him, cuddle him until he is safe and quiet and put him back in his cot. He will be permanently monitored audio and video, when \"he calls you\", it's better to leave everything and go to the baby.<\/p>\n<p>You don't let him cry a little bit because \"nothing's wrong\". It's all right, but he'll learn that only if he cries seriously, mummy or someone will come. And he'll cry louder and louder and louder. That's why his sleep will be more restless, he'll wake up often and cry a lot.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It is important how you behave with your baby during the first months of life, starting from the very first moment. If he starts off relaxed and feeling safe, he will sleep nice and soundly throughout the whole babyhood. Don't let your baby cry!!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We will not \"make lungs\" if we let him cry and we will not \"discipline\" him to get used to stay alone or to sleep alone, but we will only create fears, insecurity and he will cry more and more often.<\/p>\n<p>Mum is there for his every need, without having to cry. The baby will relax and will stop crying to \"call you\", he will feel safe at all times and will wait. He knows you're around, he'll gang around, he'll wiggle his feet and wiggle happily until he spots you. He'll sleep peacefully at night. He'll wake up for a feed or nappy change and fall asleep again.<\/p>\n<p>We don't spend the night \"talking\" with the baby, the night is for sleeping. We had the whole day, however long it is, to talk and cuddle and declare our love. At night, we feed, change nappies and nappies, paying attention to the risk of suffocation or drowning.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What happens if we let the baby cry?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>He learns very quickly that this is the signal for mum to be there. If at the first sign that he wants to cry, you are there and you love him, you feel his needs, then he will learn that it is not necessary to cry to make him feel good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>He is permanently safe.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you soothe the baby, using your own methods: rocking, holding, cuddling, stroking, do it only until the baby calms down. Once he has calmed down and seen that everything is ok and mummy is there, leave him quietly in the cot, don't prolong the moment if you don't have to. It's fine, just teach him in his crib from the beginning. The risk of sleeping with the baby in the cot, ideally no mum should take. <a href=\"https:\/\/bebesafe.ro\/risc-de-sufocare\/\">See the risk of suffocation<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>As a general conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>monitor your child permanently audio\/video<\/li>\n<li>when you hear him crying, drop everything and go and stroke him a little, love him.<\/li>\n<li>By following the instructions above, your baby will be reassured, will feel permanently safe and \"will not need to cry\". He will know that mum is always there!<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singura forma de comunicare a bebelusului este plansul, dar uneori ne putem intelege \u201cdin priviri\u201d anticipand nevoile bebelusului.
