10 good purpose for pregnancy

The pregnancy is considered "time of Good Hope", but actually brings a lot of opportunities to worry. Of course, nobody can simply out of their skin, and is in the nature of each woman is justified, if they are in a drag strip in the area and does not mind tending to a threat of miscarriage or full confidence in the entire tranche of the natural mother tapes to think. Admittedly, it's like anywhere else in life, especially during pregnancy makes sense, the body and to sign it if to rap are harmless and not threaten to do so.

In our current, heavily influenced by a medical point of view of prevention of pregnancy is, however, the propensity to take risks and dangers that do too much for a good expectation and confidence is always difficult. And while the numbers of each naked pregnant confidence is likely. In fact it runs the vast majority of pregnancies without any medical intervention in itself is important for good.

Fortunately, there are pregnant women, who are all too often tend to worry a good message: No one is helpless, presented his thoughts. Despite that seem to lead a life of its own and easily self vehemently shallow or even necessary. But they are nothing but "self-made" and, therefore, also part of our control. There are, indeed, the possibility of good thoughts optimistic and more conscious of space and threatening, worried look barriers in their favour to refer, or at least away from them. In this behavioral therapy called "stop thinking" and "exchanging ideas", a technology with which every human being without starting immediately preceding it. There is already a core of good thoughts about pregnancy.

1. My pregnancy I feel calm
Yes, there is one of them is good and just when during a pregnancy always called here and there, and pinched adjustments. Imagine only what your own body to Astonishing all in the way forward. A fertilized and dividing whole cell docks to the wall of the uterus, has connections with the maternal vessels. The uterus begins to expand and do it again and again until the end of pregnancy. The tapes begin to relax, institutions provide a space for increasingly life. If unknown Ziepen always thought that "look, is probably something normal or not?" imposes, practice once calm the loud and clear "Stop!" their ways and instead of thinking: "My pregnancy I feel calm."

2. Even without it, close my baby
Her baby in the ultrasound to see all parents more delighting a moment, not to mention the advantages of this investigation known as the healthy development of the fetus to be monitored. Ultrasound examinations by the new man becomes visible, but also a certain feeling of dependence on this technology is emerging and confidence of the expectant mother undermine that also applies to other means of a relationship, a contact with her baby to build himself closely and develop a sense, which is in its "cave" good. Not only that, what we see, really. An internal connection to the baby is to come in thinking with him using the ideas and mental images of him, so to speak, and develop the spirit to talk to him. So if you again feel that you have your baby, in addition to the usual three reviews of ultrasound necessarily see more often, once saying calmly: "Even without it, close my baby and feel that goes well."

3. In my body that I can rely on (or: The nature of work for me)
From the very heart began to beat to do so without discount and very alone. Just run the metabolism, all unaware of many of the physical processes controlled for years day and night alone, without a conscious need to resort to. The human body is a strong and independent system that governs it. All you have to do is enough to eat, sleep and move. The rest does so wonderfully by himself body Similarly, it is with pregnancy. The new life is born, grows and grows according to a plan of his own nature. Pregnant women should be (almost) nothing to do but accept. Therefore, if such thoughts such as: "There are so many things can go wrong. Whether for me everything is fine, if the pregnancy is really good?" Then you remain silent even aware of how long and how well his body and works alone and say: "In my body I can trust."

4. With all the good that I do, I too nearer my baby
Many pregnant women were asked the question: What do I have nothing else to do? What foods are bad for the fetus? What sport is bad for my son? Is sauna, solarium, hair dyes during pregnancy is well? Certainly, provides information about what resources and benefit practices harmful to the fetus, in principle sense. For example, the fact that alcohol and nicotine are unfavorable for development of the fetus. If this feeling of insecurity prevailing, however, and "women" are already open to question: "What can I do still?, Can contribute to the cause can not help but once again from a different angle of view. Instead of constantly asking what the love of one's own habits can harm the baby, and enjoy once again to say: "With all the good that I, I nearer my baby. With beautiful music, with good thoughts, more or less feasible and safe food, with movement, dance, with stages of relaxation and beautiful union with my beloved. "

5. Through my pregnancy I am the great wonders of life closer
Not everything in a pregnancy is very nice. You can more boring weeks with nausea and fatigue more leaden start, you can tweak and pinch, perhaps, heartburn, back pain and tension in the last third of pregnancy may have physical disabilities and trouble sleeping. It could be a pregnancy so, just as a series of ailment experience. How disruptive or even these restrictions are painful, but no less of an interior attitude depends deliberately fabricated. All symptoms of pregnancy can also as a sign of the great wonders of life, the body in his own place, be seen. Never again in a woman's life this great secret so close, so directly in touch. And you remember: Only you, only as a woman has this incredible potential for life on his own body to grow. If symptoms of pregnancy only once as annoying, annoying or even painful experience, say they are always calm, once again: "Through my pregnancy I am the great wonders of life especially close."

6. My pregnancy is unique
His own feelings and physical changes with other pregnant women to compare and uncertainties to ask: "Does it mean, is this normal?" It is quite natural. Because the man is looking for new experiences for orientation and how to classify and evaluate developments. At the same time, the constant comparisons with others to stress and uncertainty. Even if no other pregnant friends in the same pulling in the abdomen or with experience in the back, or if your own baby may feel inferior to that of other pregnant women, meaning they are still far from that experience "not normal" or even worrying. The normal pregnancy does not exist. Almost all states, through the course of a pregnancy are only attempts at rapprochement, but no exact guidelines, according to their targets with precision nine months the deadline. Therefore, if you are always the temptation that, according to the ultrasound calculated the weight of her fetus with tables of weight or weight of the fetus to compare his girlfriend and let them worry about, say they are always calm once again "My pregnancy is unique. N is like this."

7. With my ball I am in a special form beautiful
The physical changes during pregnancy sure that not all women for self-consciousness blocks. When body fat, specifically the skin can arise suddenly, if not before, the belly became more out-curved, then some women feel unattractive. You can have that feeling sometimes exacerbated by the sudden appearance gentle restraint and the decline in erotic passion of the couple fed. Before the feeling unattractive to be prevalent can take against deliberately said. Because we do not know everything that is very different kinds of beauty and that much of what we perceive as beautiful, even with a kind of interior lamps that do? The more a pregnant woman on the idea of cultivating, how wonderful, mysterious state faced in recent months, the easier it is also the idea that a woman who "blessed meat" is also of particular beauty wrapped. In fact, somehow your body begins to flower at this time, everything is full, bright, well-nourished and exuberant - have become visible fertility. If you always tend again because of the growing size of the body like a mouse gray felt, say you're always calm again the phrase: "With my ball, I'm in very good shape."

8. I can open (either: it always comes out)
Pregnant means at some point a birth certificate, while it is true. Everything else, however - especially for Erstgebärende - uncertain. If we are in the unknown that lies ahead of us, but with fear and self-doubt respond ( "Throw me something?"), Has strongly with nature and with our previous experiences to be done. Pregnant women, where uncertainty about what the birth will bring great fear is, you can always try again, unconsciously associated competent to adopt concrete ideas. In the case of a birth is not about to be particularly large, once again, and too much activity as possible in the day to lay, as in all corners of our coexistence and working demand. It is also a time for passive quality permitting, happening letting and openness. Almost everything else that nature, rewinds an old program, the incredibly well. Everything I do as an expectant mother, is allowed to be open to all. Therefore, it is a good idea of exercise, saying: "I have the honour of opening for the baby, I'm open to everything."

9. Labour are my good friends
Labour are very painful and the prospect of being exposed to these times, none of pregnant women may pose advance. Drastic descriptions such as "manpower to feel as if a truck rolls in the abdomen" to help here too ahead. Firstly, it should be emphasized that the intensity of Pain feeling for every woman is different. Therefore, the Schmerzhaftigkeit manpower is very different experiences. On the other hand, no woman the pain of birth scene completely helpless delivered. It is encouraging that helps manage more work, there are positions and movements - such as Hüftkreisen - the culmination of a ay bearable. And it is also useful for an internal evaluation of Woe to go. Hermosa is the idea of a wave that rolls and I gives, along-swims, perhaps at its schaukle. Of course, is not what I dent. Because each of these work brings me closer to my son! A good precondition for the history of birth can therefore be, before practice, work to welcome and say: "Labour are my best friends."

10. On the birth of my son will be a little too am reborn

In the case of a birth is not just a child in the world, including the pregnant woman is at the moment of birth. It is no longer what it was before, because now is really the mother. This event is changing everyday life and whole life, but also changed the Bearing one it greatly expanded the horizons of experience, which brings the young mother in touch with feelings that could hardly imagine. And if passed through will be more understanding, which have much to the world and will become stronger than before. If concerns about how it will be too besets you, say so quiet again and again: "I have a great and wonderful adventures before, which shows not only a new person, my child. Even my partner and I will be again: mother and the father. " Readmore »»

Are you sure that you're pregnant

Is there anything that exciting days before the "day" when a woman wants a baby? Come or no? Are they pulling in the abdomen and chest May already tense first signs of a massive change? stir fatigue of a new pregnancy, or simply many jobs? What are the first clues? What can you say that you pregnant?

Some women know little after conception que ha ido, the first premonitions other, where the state as planned: There are many signs of pregnancy, which - in a more, others less pronounced - the miracle that is taking on his body .
• The absence of the rule is one of the safest signs of pregnancy. Because if the egg has been fertilized, is only the form of hormone residues and their subsequent abandonment of the uterine lining.
Caution: The rule may also be absent for other reasons - for example, stress, hormonal fluctuations or an organic disease. By contrast, in rare cases at the time of menstrual bleeding to a slight, even when you are pregnant.
• A change in the chest, women are often the first true. It's largest, covering warts are more sensitive. The idea here is the increased production of hormones in the pituitary gland of the mother at the beginning of the mammary gland to stimulate growth.
But the breasts can also only the early onset of menstruation announce.
• Nausea is also a fairly clear indication of fertilization took place. However, is very diverse. For some women occurs in the morning, others throughout the day on the air or on a continuous basis. For some remains in nausea, vomiting other more than ten times a day. For nausea of pregnancy, the hormone human chorion-gonadotrophin (HCG) responsible.
• fatigue, many women experience during early pregnancy. slumberous to be so indicate a pregnancy. It can also, of course, many other causes. For example, many women simply in the days before your period tired than usual
• mood swings: the clouds jauchzend or saddened by the death - as in a cycle, the hormonal changes in the budget at the beginning of the pregnancy of a certain confusion within the meaning of the budget.
• A drawing in the lower abdomen, possibly in the bar area, also can indicate a pregnancy. The fund is growing and stretching the ligaments that hold the uterus. Earlier this pregnancy may feel as if the state would remain stable.
• Extra large appetite, and perhaps an aversion to heat and hunger for other dishes are also the typical symptoms of pregnancy.
• All pregnancy tests are based on the evidence of the pregnancy hormone "human chorion-gonadotropin."
• In the pharmacy, there is evidence of urine that are already around the time two weeks after fertilization results quite reliable. Most of the morning urine. A color change indicates whether a pregnancy or not. Given the speed with which the pregnancy hormone produced by Mrs Ms fluctuates, can in one way or another, even longer until a positive test of the proposal. Of course, urine also was done in the gynecologist. Some manufacturers announced earlier that the test could be conducted. The evidence before menstruation, but are not reliable. For example, can fail, despite the fact that fertilization has occurred, because the pregnancy hormone is not yet sufficiently present.
• Even a blood test, the doctor in exceptional cases. He is more sensitive than urine test and proposes something before.
• Most shortly after the period of absence is also pregnant by a special ultrasound examination - the Vaginalsonographie - detectable. This investigation is at a positive pregnancy test also will reveal whether the embryo in the womb or perhaps in the fallopian tubes or abdominal cavity located. The ultrasound may also be three or four weeks after conception the embryo the heartbeat.
• Indeed, tests and other products related to pregnancy, can also partner in our pharmacy.
• women who have recently found that pregnant women are often concerned that their baby in the first two weeks of fertilization have made unwittingly - perhaps by a rainy season-happy, pills or cigarettes. But nature has available.
• At a time when women did not know of her pregnancy, is the "all or nothing". Affirms that the pregnancy ended at the beginning again, if this first phase, something not anticipated. Women experienced this is usually only a maybe a little more or a little delayed menstruation. By contrast, reads as follows: During the first two weeks of fertilization, you will not be a cause for concern. Only then begins when the mother's consumption of cigarettes, alcohol and drug use.

Pregnancy without a partner

Maybe it was the infamous one-night stand, but perhaps also a gaff with a good friend. Sometimes it's the eve of an impending separation, so to speak, a farewell love, unplanned pregnancy. Or the ardent lover fell immediately above the quest for distance, as he pregnancy until then innigst Angebeteten their experiences.

There are many reasons why women in their pregnancy without an outside partner. Whatever the causes are, without the participation of love and strong support from a partner during pregnancy raises another question: How will my family and friends? That's me when there are complications? That is in the birth of this? How do I find behind financially? What about my training? Where can I just ausheulen times and is pleased with the baby in me?

All these questions can be found in a single and pregnant women in order to paralyse the effects burdensome than simply feel overwhelmed. Some women might think very quickly to an abortion, while others stuck their heads in the sand and simply do nothing. Therefore, until the pregnancy is already well advanced, and none of the problems addressed or resolved.

Michaela Thelen, social worker at the Dusseldorf office of the association alone erziehender mothers and fathers "(VAMV) advises pregnant women without a partner especially at the beginning of an advisory body to recover.

And the father?

With the appropriate specialist can also, of course, talk about a problem, only that many pregnant women umtreibt: dealing with the child's father, the expectant mother has left and perhaps pregnancy can disagree. Or when the expectant mother may simply not know. Here is the advice of course, the individual history of pregnant women in mind. Michaela Thelen, but emphasizes the fact that women look to the eye, the child basically a right to his father and his father is entitled to at least.

Balloons

Blue and pink balloons had to, because I still do not know if there is a boy or a girl" ) And let each of these cases. "Te Papa" in a stand.

Despite that could hardly see anything, but I anxious before happiness. The point was small my son? Occasionally, was larger. Lastly, become a real man. It was just unbelievable.

Moment incomparable

As soon as your baby for the first time can see and touch, the experience of young parents in particular as a strong impression. Facilitation is always great, even if pregnancy and childbirth very normal. Silke recalls what the big moment: "Even in the first ay, I thought: Now finally go. I had no fear. When the midwife wet and slippery my son in his arms, I was happy just endless. Was a wonderful feeling when he slept in my belly. " A few days later on the way home from the hospital. My husband Hummer a song Chen, as Josephine the first time since his Reisekörbchen looked up and smiled. It was so touching - I never want to abandon this vision. Always, I have this picture in mind.

If the small durchboxt

An entirely different aspect of moving Marietta Kopnick in pregnancy. "I have at this point is never felt. There was always someone with me. This is a very pleasant feeling," recalls the 42jährige today. What Thomas, her husband felt, describes it this way: "It was wonderful to witness how the belly of my wife grew up.

She takes me through the belly of my wife. Of course, not hurts, but I could not fall asleep and awake. As much as I had tonight experience disturbed. " Thomas daughter is also very assertive. But this was the young father was already without hesitation!

Pregnant women - I have noticed

The moment a pale second line on the pregnancy test seems, a woman never forgets: For the first, it means an enormous shock for others it is the best time so far in their lives. And another is perhaps surprising, but still feels confirms what we already suspected for days. In fact, even before the test was his gut feeling you have zugeflüstert: Something is different, maybe I'm pregnant. In addition to the sometimes surprising intuition are reliable, but especially physical signs that a woman even before the test reveal that could have worked. Urbia ask pregnant women and mothers, where they have found that a small guest in his belly has launched home. One midwife also explains the most common early signs, and why it is not easy to interpret.

"When I saw my first son Max recently pregnant and who do not even know there was an unpleasant Gash in my life: my sick mother fell into a coma. I have laid his bed shortly before his death. And since I had the feeling at once, I'm pregnant. I gave it also said that while he was unconscious. And also that I have but right now it would be necessary. Yes, there are really crazy. But I am glad that I heard in my feeling and yet said, "as reported Heike Karlsruhe.

Even Astrid R. Bonn believes that her body knew early over his head: "I caught in the office that I frequent tension in the abdomen and sometimes the cross durchgedrückt and my hands to the face akimbo back. Somehow I had this strange attitude and I thought: "Funny, you just do, but pregnant women, if they have back pain, '" says the mother of two children. I then no further reflection, but a few days later, the pregnancy test is positive! "

Especially early intuition betrayed by Anna H. Unna your child would meet the desire: "It's almost embarrassing to say: But I have been having sex noticed that everything went. What I have noticed, however, I am still a mystery. Completely sure that I was then, However, as I have one to two weeks later he could no longer drink coffee (although I am addicted then normally) and my breasts were almost painful hypersensitive ". "There are women who really are directly know they are pregnant. Some think the same thing after the distribution or in the days after they somehow no longer alone," confirmed Annabell Kastorff midwife of the Colony of native origin.

Apprehension, but not all pregnant women. Many tend to recall the physical changes that announces something new. "Cigarettes schmeckt not more, and I was too bad. That was fun for me. Gerechnet we have not had, because I only four weeks before the pill had stopped," says a forum mother. The fact that benefit mainly as cigarettes, coffee or alcohol suddenly unpleasant taste, is a typical first signs - which is also very useful, because: "This shows the disgust that the body is fighting against these toxins," says Annabell Kastorff midwife. "He feels better now what you need, what you're doing well and what not."

The same is not necessarily vice versa: The anxiety or the so-called " craving " because some pregnant women also overcome an early age is not necessary that things healthy. "When I still did not know that I'm pregnant, I was shopping. On the way to the car was a snack cart, when these thick, pickled cucumber salt could buy. I immediately turn and geeilt because of a sudden cravings in such a pickle is, "said Astrid R. Bonn. And as already mentioned routes, Schwangerenart office, I thought again now: "This is so much fun, with the appetite of cucumber sour tells you otherwise, but only for pregnant! But because we had already wasted two years , Practised "had, I would not sleep with the idea of how right I had," he smiles. If the pregnant woman to certain foods could harsh verputzen quantities, it has done in the opinion of doctors to do just that the "pregnancy hormone" Beta HCG also in the field affects the brain responsible for appetite or disgust feelings is responsible - and a bit confusing at first.

"In fact, my husband first noticed that I am pregnant again," said Petra H. Wuppertal. He said that in our third child soon: "Your stomach is something different, maybe you're pregnant!". I myself could not believe it. Finally, I had total long and irregular cycles of 50 days or more, I could not imagine going to work. But he was right. "And a forum mother confirmed:" I suddenly had a totally solid and hard stomach. The fatigue and apathy then I was driven besides, but take a test. "Especially after the second child may have the stomach early shift, round or even harder work. Even if the Däumling in the womb is still small, starts (very strong) very early uterus to grow. And because the abdominal wall , No longer as tight as the first child, we see this earlier.

However, often the sinuses, which soon changed: "To my horror, my breasts grew suddenly - and I wear Cup E and I have had one wickedly expensive gegönnt bra, then suddenly too tight. Na toll! Addition , The breasts also quite curious, so you only sleep on their backs. As I guessed, "said a pregnant woman in an Internet forum. "When I saw exactly one week late, I did the test, which was positive." "Many women say they first in the chest that she may be pregnant," says midwife also Annabell Kastorff. "The breasts are bigger or tension." Due to the high concentration of progesterone (hormone yellow body) which multiplies store water. Sometimes women also that the nipple and Warzenhof is the darker color.

"Fürchterliche circulatory problems were my fourth pregnancy, the first indication that he had worked again," said a participant in the Forum. "I belong apparently, anyway, Frühmerkern. In the four pregnancies, almost immediately after embryo - well, let's say that at least seven days later - animals get their breasts, but the circuit was new." Sudden weakness dizziness or not are often the first sign that one is pregnant, because "by the influence of hormones of pregnancy, the cycle is the first change," says the midwife of Cologne Kastorff birth home. Even more frequently than is Schlappheit dizziness and fatigue for no apparent reason. Also here are large amounts of the hormone progesterone debt, in which the body is accustomed.

Some women also noted that constantly on the toilet, but not much. Before the idea of a pregnancy, some since the first suspicion that had verkühlt the bubble. The reason for the increased urinary urgency, once again, is the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and a more significant blood flow to the entire Unterleibs and therefore the bladder.

Even a painful or itchy Fiese pulling in the abdomen, which is somehow not as something else feels as if the state is imminent, then many women in early pregnancy (unnecessary) refers. These pains are from the uterus, which is already beginning to grow. Because we also offer a very solid and hard muscle can be injured early growth. The bands holding the uterus ( "mother tape") are already stretched and can ziepen. "I thought about my first pregnancy, even in the first place, I have a Eileiterentzündung, it did harm," said Kerstin B. Bonn, mother of two girls.

As a classic among the first symptoms, but the disease in the morning when they are far from being the most common early symptom. About 40 percent of women do not have, but many are already plagued the principles - and not only in the morning, but often throughout the day. Some simply have no appetite, nausea others have. "I feel sometimes bad, even with vomiting. But then I was alone in ski vacations. That is why I have in some ways, Koller height", because the mountains behind. I had nosebleed often than not stop. Only after the holidays, I understood what to do with these allegations were, "said a pregnant woman in an Internet forum.

"I do not know quite what is expressed. Moreover, I must admit that I had a sudden desire for sex constantly. I almost lost my friend, attacked. 'Then he said repeatedly, but agree with you on what is not , Are determined pregnant! "Says another participant in the Forum. The increase in libido, many women during pregnancy, often only slightly. Some women seem to welcome the beginning of this change, but felt.

"The second child I had been so strange day palpitations, before I knew. Has angefühlt as if you have a grippalen infection with fever, and sometimes the pulse is so fast" said Astrid R. "And when my eldest daughter night, I was suddenly so short and had to read much more frequently than usual between a deep breath, which was quite surprising. I could not explain that. It was just a few days later, when the state was incredible and proof positive. "

Even spots shortly before, during or after the date on which normally would have their government, are rare. Glaubte previously to sign a so-called "Einnistungsblutung", in which the embryo from the uterus easily breached, today most doctors believe that simply initial hormonal fluctuations caused (unless they sign an early miscarriage).

How reliable, but are the first signs of pregnancy? Not in particular midwife Annabell Kastorff said: "Many of the symptoms may simply through normal complaints vormenstruelle explained." Even in the second half after each cycle of ovulation actively expectant body yellow hormone progesterone (whose concentration in early pregnancy continues to rise), for example, breast, increasing fluid retention. Even mild nausea, abdominal pain throwing, dizziness or fatigue are common complaints with PMS (syndrome prämenstruelles = appeals to the rule). Urinary frequency and urgency can, of course, in fact, just signs of cystitis.

Something sure is simply a high Basaltemperatur. When a woman in her diary fairs Aufwach temperatur determines that the temperature of the second half of the cycle more than 16 days continuously around 0.5 degrees above the normal temperature of the first half of the cycle, is pregnant with some probability -- if you do not have the infection or false Technology (too short or after the adjournment) has measured.

"Just as there are women who are very early notice that she is pregnant, there are also women who initially felt absolutely nothing," said Annabell Kastorff. Its importance is that these women are not automatically a bad perception subordinate body: "In my opinion, this has absolutely nothing with your body feeling to be done." There could be many reasons, for example, the current living situation linked, such as stress or distraction. If women do not compute, pregnant and perhaps even in its current housing situation is adapted, but also often feel nothing. "Or if, for example, a woman becomes pregnant despite pill and the pill to continue breaking its bleeding, which naturally easy to overlook physical signs. Because we simply can not assume that she is pregnant," says midwife.

"It often requires that women who initially felt nothing, have no symptoms suddenly when the test was positive," said Kastorff. Here also play a certain role expectations.

Whether a woman early pregnancy symptoms or not, by the way, says nothing about the state of pregnancy. Even if disturbances can follow the "full range" of the allegations. "And by contrast, has a temporary absence or Wegbleiben of symptoms for a few days nothing to do with the fact that the baby is not going well. Therefore, it is completely safe," stresses the midwife.

My child eats nothing!

The small Enes not hungry. This is not surprising, because the Yearbooks have an acute gastro intestinal flu. However, Aylin mother and father Thomas * with all kinds of tricks, a hot meal to her son go to bugsieren. Because he offered the carrot vegetables refused, disguise each with a little milk chocolate spoon. This mixture little tempting to urge parents to the small hospital is Zureden much course-pressed in the mouth. So observed in the children's hospital in what to do with my son a few days a small room with the family informed. Should condemning the couple still very young, but not recklessly. Of course, is a strong instinct that frightens us parents when our children with meals clean-struck not efficient. Such a call still comes from a time when food is scarce and calmed our old guard, his son and Erjagtes collecting enough to be able to offer. Most fathers and mothers,

so rich in our society difficult to stay calm if a small anyway quite delicate little boy and eats meals in food herumpickt like a bird. Above all, of course, if it is in contrast to our example of the time. But what is "too little"? And how to ensure that his own son absorbs nutrients sufficient (and please, even without the stress on the dining table)?

* Changed

A small child from one to three years the daily needs about 950 to 1100 calories. "Even for children can be seen in the BMI (body mass index) is calculated," says Silke Meyer remains of the German Society for Nutrition (EDM). Here you have an indication of whether the weight of the child of his age found in the normal range (information at the end of text). When a child is significantly lower than normal or with time and perhaps appetiteless was pale and tired effect should visit a doctor first, advises the expert DGE. But even if the child, according to pediatrician nuclearhealthy will be lit in the brainstem, parents fast in the red light warning when a child is "nothing" to eat. And an ancient text is off, reads: "Help! This child eats too little, is terribly weak and elendig soon hunger." And säuseln - like the generations before us - lyra box-like the famous verse: "And now a spoon for all Mama" (either the father, grandmother, grandfather, etc.), also from centuries of use is not original has become. We use the original goodness of our children, so much to the organization, and push them a bit more spoon. The works, but not for long. Eventually the child refuses, and the struggle for power of food to erupt. This is blackmail ( "otherwise there is no dessert"), urged ( "just three Gäbelchen!"), Exaggerations ( "You is not growing, if you do not eat") and the pity trip to test ( "Mom has cooked for you! "). All thoughts and activities on the table now only revolve around the "bad eating."

Threat eating disorders
Very dangerous, this little war on the dining table. It takes not only in itself, happy families, but can even risky long-term "strong pressure and forced to eat may interfere with eating disorders later to lead," said Silke remains Meyer. "Of course, eating disorders, but also many other causes," said the expert. However, a child who has to eat too much pressure, so puberty in the food intake of their newly acquired self-affirmation very urge refuse (anorexia). By contrast, a child who is always on your sense of satiety, also had to eat, the feeling of losing their appetite natural and permanent overweight. "For example, is also a sign of growing alarm that children in Germany in the early years of experience diet," said the expert.

The following tips will help Essgenuss and joy to the family table to return to:

* 1 The understanding of how infants tick

From one year have young children want many things for themselves. Also how much we eat. Parents decide what is the child, but how much is going to eat. For more information about the desire to make food, you can buy the children of fruit and vegetables, and that it later, when they can help cook (vegetables, potatoes cut small, etc.). It's almost a Ensuring that child, the result is even eat. "Even young children who like many things at once, but must first get used to your taste. You can also try again some time if the child's current, but the acceptance of food" remains Silke Meyer advises. Often, several repetitions necessary, until a child in the taste. The less sweet a baby gets, the more it retains the sense of taste and desire for healthier and finer pleasures.

2 * Eat Together

At least one common meal, where everyone sit at the table, each family should be there. And also for the other meals of a child should never eat alone. The fact that television remains on the table Needless to say, "This is a permanent meeting place to take the time to build and exchange of the day," said Meyer continues. The eating habits of children should not be emphasized. The purpose of eating can not be just to feed the child and talk about it, how much again today (not) eat.

3 * Small portions up tables

A full plate to deter children. Small portions and small bites, arranged in an attractive way possible, invite you to Zulangen. Particularly encouraging to see colorful plants in all colors, from which an example Faces pattern or form. After filling can be done even if the child is more appetite. However, even a little tranquility in the plate back to stay, because food should be full enjoyment something that nobody can be forced.

* 4 Learning confidence: Not healthy child suffers shortage

When my daughter some time ago a long "I have'-but-not-hungry" stage, I turned for help to the popular pediatrician Dr buses, parents disconcerted on the Internet, television and press consolation and the Council da. His response to my query in his anxious Forum: "It makes no sense, so many ideas!" (Ah? But I always seem so hard, thinking to an end when it comes to my children ...). He added, however, fortunately: "No child healthy hunger complete a dish or is suffering shortages." (Aha! Now I was better, because I wanted to read.) The slogan means: The child in your eating habits to pick up where it is and not one's own risk. Confidence in children is also called, what we are usually the parents often have too little.

* 5 What every day at the plate belongs

But what exactly should be due to a small child from one to three years all at least the day to eat? "It's just come as much or as little as he likes, what with meals and not get a substitute or additional food," says pediatrician. "The most important are more permanent two servings of milk a day. Hence, perhaps a cup of milk, plus a yogurt, some cheese, or oatmeal with milk per day." But how do you go with the sandwiches? If the man with a bad eating to skip meals are no further major appetite? This helps Silke remains Meyer continued: "No, because snacks are very important in children so that their blood sugar levels are not too. Haircuts A milk or other sweet, however, is not understood," he warns. Best are the fruit, raw vegetables, a portion of natural yogurt, or sometimes a sandwich.

The BMI (body mass index) is calculated from the formula "the weight divided by height times the body size. For orientation: For one year old children should BMI between the values around 15 and 18.5 . Over a period of three years children only 14 to 18

Has your child is eligible?

Previously, it was actually easier! It swung his son in his arms as there were so overcome, lapsed into the recapitulation spontaneously joyous games cuckoo, traced the baby, because the desire to anwandelte and smooched beings simply because they are sometimes. And children! They brabbelten, crawled, learned to speak, walk and play - like, very alone. Quasi, as the beak and feet were cultivated. And there were even passable youth and adults from them.

The good times of innocence, when everything is still to an end in itself has happened and could happen and the big boys, fit and wise, without which, even without the efforts of universal promotion of their loved ones.

Today is apparently no more! There is simply wonderful shape sorter Stack, because every child fun, dear mother! There, the motto is to promote permanent. Nursery Brave New World: Pregnancy juchzend corresponds to a cube of wood, Mom thinks, oh yes, which promotes the feeling of spaciousness, motor coordination skills, but because I just play around with my mouse and show how you just stack beautiful. .. What, do not like it? Whether the more beneficial? Nee, Lale, is how, please, do not want more? There is resistance to this child, which could encourage more ... etc.

Or take the kindergarten. As one would expect to English. How else should our little Luke, Paul and Jonas fit for the challenges of a globalized world? Once called the window, but it is very brutal closes early, and then the poor child at the end of the language in camera (while) windows in the elementary or secondary school Pauk, which can not be good.

Ever one wonders at times if not before birth is not decisive. Because even if Mozart so good for the interconnection of synapses should be, that has been lost, the fetus with an initial fund of sonatas by Mozart known. How are children, because later face competition from overseas, where the Americans once again are much faster and long embryonic language teaching, and later even though the Chinese baby Nanni, as knows what is good?

Recently, dad with a young child in your home computer, because the manufacturer had promised that this very well unbeatable promotes logical thinking. And dad was, as Jonas competent equations times later after disbanding if x support in this crucial Crawling age denied? And we do not want all the best for our son?

It is also encouraging that the doctor, but this is the best, or not? Sometimes voices are heard criticism because. For example, the renowned child psychologist Wolfgang Bergmann. He says in his book "The Art of parental love," the child has not come to play in case of toys, before a baby is established, secretly an educational or motor or cognitive promotion . It is an understanding when it is in the same book says, babies game was "very serious". Is not it about the baby through the games to try to get everything?

Well, then my Promotion critic, which is probably true, but only works if it was not always an adult with strict targets in the head and sits beside the child to freedom of games and exploring the trouble. There is also an African proverb: The grass does not grow faster when it moves. Yes, and not always philosophers and educators reform emphasizes that children like the flower buds, which are in any case to develop a beautiful flower, not from the inside out and our own strength, if only to prepare The fertile soil and adequate, otherwise simply grow?

Perhaps we should simply relax and listen ha ido, if once again - especially the corner of providing children's educational software industry - gebetsmühlenartig the "eligibility" Zauberwörtchen sounds of our conscience to call their parents. , Cuddling, games, jumping, running - just because it's fun, and good for children as they like: that's enough!

How many infections are normally?

How many infections are normal?
Once again, nose and cough of the child - who normally can not be! However, it can calm down: it is simply normal. Children in the first years of life to train their immune system to cope with a variety of pathogens front. The infections in childhood is quite natural. And if his son on several occasions colds, the symptoms are similar, each time, but there are always other pathogens, which are troubled. This is not surprising if you know that there are over 100 different cold viruses.

Even without defensive weakness up to twelve infections per year
Colds with colds, possibly a slight fever in the early days of illness and / or additional cough occur in children who do not weakened relatively common. On average,

* Babies of six to eight times per year,
* Children aged one to four years eight to nine times a year,
* Children aged five to seven years six to eight times per year under a cold.

If your child this year in kindergarten or in the crib come, it may be that you have the feeling that today is almost constantly ill. Especially in the early months of an infection often follows the other. And even this is not normal, because the nursery and kindergarten children are often up to twelve infections a year.

Because children as many infections in otolaryngology-through the area, are often swollen neck, hard and not infrequently, painful to lymph nodes. Although many parents fear the same could be worse: neck swollen lymph nodes are signs of increased advocacy and in most cases harmless. It may be weeks or months until the swelling has completely cleared the lymph nodes and not enredarte. However, you must make swollen lymph nodes in the next date of the medical examination of the child, so certainly not overlooked!

Fewer infections such as rapid Recovery those Infekthäufigkeit is not so important, because how could you just read are a good number of infections per year normally. How often your child is sick, depends crucially on how much contact with pathogens.

Much more important is how the infection to her son term. Recover after an infection quickly? Will it be done without antibiotics? Or, each of colds or bronchitis a thick middle ear inflammation, but once again the antibiotic needs to be addressed? Our test helps determine when a severe immune deficiency.

Test: Is your child suspected of abnormal immune?

* Do you or other family member with a congenital immune deficiency?
* If your child is more than a year and has not stopped Soorpilz in the mouth? Li () Is it twice a year or more under a pneumonia?
* If your child twice a year or more severe sinusitis?
* Has your child is eight or more purulent middle ear infections per year?
* Is your child never in serious infections, such as bone marrow, skin and brain inflammation ill?
* They are with him on several occasions abscesses of the skin or internal organs occurred?
* If your baby or your child existed in childhood redness on the hands and feet that are not covered by a skin disease caused or are?
* Has your child ever been two months without treatment antibiotic therapy has beaten?
* If your child after the measles, mumps, rubella and / or vaccine against chickenpox complications occurred, which has a redness in the Inoculation place, short-term fever or a short-term weakness of the eruption go further?
* Is your child a way to prosper and grow slightly less than normal?
* If your child never abnormalities in the blood has been determined to speak immunodeficiency, for example, a call leukopenia (reducing the number of white blood cells)?

Evaluations:

If you are none of those questions yes, your child is not suspected of being an immune, even if it is very often colds or suffering gastro-intestinal infections.

Does one or more questions is yes, you should ask your pediatrician to ask for a thorough investigation, if only in immunodeficiency existence of several signals of the survey is likely. However, failure to thrive, for example, by intolerance to gluten (celiac disease) are activated and repeated lung infections can be an asthma behind him so that clarification is necessary.

Fortunately, congenital immune deficiencies, which is undoubtedly a serious disruption of the immune system there, very rare. Of the most common form of antibody deficiency is only one of the 15,000 children affected.

Children with a congenital immunodeficiency

* In general, see constantly sick,
* Infections after recovering very slowly (appetite and the general state of health remain disproportionately affected long)
* They are often physically underdeveloped,
* Despite frequent infections often small almonds (healthy children, however, are quite large and tonsils "polyps") and
* To develop normally harmless infections often complications.

In the case of cold permanent asthma and allergies think!

If your child in the winter months is constantly cold, should not always a cold virus, which makes creating. It could also be allergic to house dust mites or mold behind. These observations are in a stuffy nose or Sneezing accumulations (mite allergy often in the morning after the adjournment). Moreover, the mucous membranes of the respiratory allergy to the attacked, so that each additional cold very quickly fixed.

If your child has bronchitis and permanently several times in an inflammation of the lung was sick and / or evening often cough, asthma may be one behind. Another test, for example, coughing or wheezing to breathe after the race and Rave violent or laughter. Infektbedingtem children with asthma often catching a night before the first symptoms of a cold (runny nose, sneezing attacks) during the night to dry cough.

If your child permanently cold, there should be absolutely careful, pediatrician (preferably with the additional designation of Allergology) will also be explored. In addition to research normal Abhorchen including the lungs, followed by an allergy test and - as the preschool - a study of lung function. Because without the necessary treatment antiasthmatische or rehabilitation of housing for mites or mold allergy is the "cold period" will not improve.

Basic course baby care

Finally at home! In the arm carefully holding her son together, the heart filled with love and head full of questions. Can I use this small town really right child care and care for them? What should I do you prefer? Knowing the baby care then suddenly disappeared and the advice of many relatives and friends whir you in mind. Do not worry, a baby is not so difficult. After a few days, the first uncertainty overcome. Its handles are routine and even found time to care for children and schmusen to laugh. In subsequent chapters tell how her baby without effort and maintain a relaxed and happy child wonderfully fragrant.

Material or Wegwerfwindel
An activity that lets you in the coming weeks will be much, is the recapitulation. A baby is in the early weeks of life on average six times a day Pipi. They are also a lot of time in the daily changing table, with his back because it is necessarily correspond with their body size. Whether you are for material or diapers decide depends on your attitude, your time and not least of its budget. Cloth diapers and changing systems can also rent and clean. Therefore, it is not necessary equal a lot of money to invest, but may involve all variations in peace and treat aptitude test of everyday life.

Babies, as the heat
If the Windelpaket thick and it is time for a change, you wrap all necessary utensils (water bowl with warm water, rags, towels, diaper again, possibly changing clothes). In winter, is a radiant heater, the space nice and warm. Remove the napkin and clean the genitals with a damp cloth. For girls the vagina to clean Po, children do not retract the foreskin. The fresh air is irritating to urinary urge boys. Insert your child a diaper in step to get in front of a fountain to wet.
The best clear water
After a big business to clean the remains of babies and wash Po wetland, also briefly. "The best way is clear water," says the midwife Berlin Simone Exner. "Children up to three months should not interfere with Feuchttüchern cleaned. Firstly, cold towels, perhaps even nursing babies and secondly respond today increasingly ingredients care products." Humidity and Öltücher can, for example, the allergy trigger a preservative benzalkonium chloride content or substance PEG, the skin more permeable and sensitive to pollutants. "At the heart of our family, including babies, the active ingredient in the plant marigold sensitive direction," said Simone Exner.

... Or in a "sensitive" Damp cloth
Although not necessarily at home, so the pads for parents about the baby, but give a huge relief. Therefore, the most reluctant to abandon completely. Fortunately, more and more manufacturers enter the new consciousness, that substances that cause skin allergies in infants do not want. Thus, the ÖKOTEST, a magazine test in its latest issue July 2007 so-called wet-sensitive test to the manufacturer's specifications to all that babies can irritate the skin, resign - preservatives, alcohol, perfume. And the good news for parents is: 12 of the 15 branded products tested were in fact completely trouble-free ingredients.

Good dry
Now, the baby still for a while in the air and leg pedal enjoy freedom. Before creating the new diaper, the same wind range dried well. If your child is very winding and aversion pedal, is perhaps a cellphone during the course winding distractions. Very important: Let your child never alone at the table is the change!

Some parents create a Diaper bucket, which include diapers geruchssicher. Because in five to ten used diapers a day, the trash bucket quickly to its borders.
The water relaxes
From bathroom is one of the greatest joys for most babies and visibly improving their welfare. You relax in the cool waters properly, wohlig tired and enjoy the following units even more attention.

For the first few months you should use a baby bath (at first, also, the sink), then your child may be under constant supervision in the vast bathtub. In the area must be at least 22 degrees prevail, so that their offspring not cooled A water temperature of 35 to 37 degrees is comfortable for the child. Affordable water thermometer showed the temperature accurately and avoid burns. Since the previous administration of Bath additives advises midwife Marion Kublick more: "newborns need no additives, this will only irritate the delicate skin. I use a little olive oil and milk, for very dry skin helps sometimes almonds."

Not all are water rats
Keep your baby Po horizontal and neck, tilt slightly and slowly to the surface and give him time to adjust to the new wet feeling used. If your child enjoys the water, you can start cleaning. Then, in the small recap and a towel dry. Pay particular attention to the navel, armpits and folds in the thigh here often collects moisture. Many children also enjoy it, gefönt to dry. The hot air and the constant ringing of the device to calm the children and make them dream.

If your child is not one of the "water rats" and are constantly cry during the bathing is also sufficient washing daily with the washcloth. Once a week is enough to bathe medically complete. Children of this age are not dirty. If your baby loves swimming and your skin and allow turn, can use a short swim in the daily ritual of the involvement of sleep.
Wash gently
Whether by changing table, sink or bathtub - at least once a week should be around his son's body wash. It dragged the body of Petty and completely clean with a cloth and warm water. The extra hair does not need to be washed, wet only the head. Do not try "Milchschorf" from head to zero, formed after some time alone. The umbilical does not need special treatment. Cara, armpits and genitals should be something deeper and possibly a mild, neutral pH Addition to be washed. Then the child or hair dryers dry.

Palillos have heard of a baby's ears to locate, is a great risk of eardrum injury. In addition, the wax plays an important role and should not be eliminated. If desired, outside the ear with a cloth reinigen.Bei attention of the cord, please follow the instructions of their midwife or a pediatrician, as each heel another healing process. The most important thing here: dry and, if sterile take off. Some babies come with a Denticle in the world or very early tooth. As your baby, but in the first few months of not taking solid foods, just when you Denticle with a damp cloth to rub off.

And the nails?
They believe that the constant incredibly small finger of his youngest son, even with the nails of hands? Leave in the sample. In the first six weeks, cutting nails taboo, as the risk of injury and inflammation is too big. If the baby with their fingernails scratching his face, special aid mittens or a small more put on population density.

Even the hair, on account of the risk of injury in the first period has not yet be cut. If your Knirps really excessive hair, comb, right next.
Eincremen in wundem Po
Doctors and midwives are in agreement: Journal Eincremen a baby is not necessary. Though a baby's skin as soft and tender, regenerates and is protected by too many experiments cream and not irritated. Marion Kublick, who has 23 years working as a midwife, said: "An acquittal is with us once midwives cremt, cremt forever. Eincremen The wind of the Elbe is not necessary. Only if the sore Po, with wonders should be treated with ointment. "Good, not primarily on plant-based drugs should Wundschutzcreme vitamin E, lanolin and zinc oxide.

Sun and cold protection

The gentle movements and the seeming well being of his son are also balm for his soul. Take a little cream or oil on the extent and spread with a slight clockwise pressure on the body of his son. Save in the face. Watch your child. Is it in the movements of its active or relaxed? Listen to your stomach and develop with your baby is a soothing, harmonious massage ritual.

Why with my baby?

Babies have the character to shout to be felt. Hardly had the new homeland citizens, hence, their parents often large conjecture. What does that mean to mourn? What I mean my baby? How can I respond appropriately and quiet?

With its freshly baked uncertainty are the parents do we are not alone: Your baby has no idea of what is happening and what she really wants. In his view, only an unpleasant feeling, so to speak, and asks for help to get rid of this feeling again. Their screams could also result in the following words: "Human Mami, I feel so was modest, please help me to make the stop." If this bad feeling of hunger, fatigue, the desire for privacy or other imperatives, is aware of the little creatures in the first half as well as their parents.

Therefore,

the first few weeks a very important moment of knowledge. And while the mother and father has not learned to scream and seeing what your baby needs only now (that there must be, but is more likely rather than the rule), which left no other choice than anything Possible to try one after the other.
The most important rule: respond to the cries
The baby is crying of a mother and father warning instinctively feel a strong desire to console the baby, usually beginning by doing so - if found - pick up and physical contact with him. This instinct of their parents must necessarily trust. On this point there in the investigation now largely agree. On the crying baby to respond, not to ignore the main premise that a baby will prosper and build confidence.

Hungry, tired, sew-needily?
The following checklist of the most common reasons for the writers should help the appropriate response to signals of babies.

* Is it hungry?
If the baby cries, can help initially in the chest, because babies are often hungry! If the baby but only the breast or bottle, hunger may fall as the cause of Crying.

* Is it just close?
Babies are part of their time in her womb of the mother of his closest physical contact with the mother lived. Since it is not surprising that even after birth later. If the baby cries, it can mean that is very close to mom or dad wants to be - preferably in the arm - and swung want to be like in the womb.

* Is it tiring?
Many, perhaps most babies do not sleep easy if you are tired because she did not know that the solution would be to their discomfort to fall asleep. So mourn, who took the field. How you can help a baby to sleep? It really is not a panacea, but it once again: Every child is different! For example, it may also be that the majority is like a baby in the womb of the mother for sleep decreases, as in a cradle or swung their eyes the best ride in a pushchair autumn. If parents are lucky, you can ditties with a gentle caress or the accompanying sleep. Some babies seem to feel the noise of the dishwasher as a relaxing and above all it should be so restless ghost, whose currency is temporarily loud only a car around the block or at the high fan off the hair dryers.
Three months colic?
Babies in the first months of often suffer from the so-called three-month colic. However, does not clarify exactly what it is. One of them has long been suspected that babies especially after meals abdominal pain, because the digestive system is not yet ripe and that, for example, with flatulence trouble. Then came the theory, babies cried because they had not flatulence, flatulence but emerge only by the cries and because children are swallowed air. And finally, and lastly, there is also the view, the term "colic three months" would be purely and simply for all the states of unexplained nausea, a baby during the first months passing by and for adults simply no explanation .

What is in fact often noted that, after the baby is breastfeeding or bottle-feeding for a short time are met and soon begin to wind and screaming. Antidote appropriate: the baby moves, preferably in the so-called flying handle. It will be with the belly down on the forearm, that part of adults have the baby between the legs, shoulders and the head of a small worm is the Ellbeuge or in the arm from adults. Many babies love it if you are with your other hand gently in his Popo blows. Often, may be in this position "steam".

Other options: soft belly massage for babies, perhaps with a few drops of Kümmelöl, with your hand clockwise in his stomach removed. Or the baby's legs and, therefore, bend circular movements. Some parents swear in a warm cherry pit pillows, with their newborns in the abdomen.

Po miracle or another upset?
If a baby cries, is also, of course, verify that perhaps cold or too hot, for example, a sore Po could be the cause. Babies love not, for example, especially when their Mützchen foot slips by in the face that no longer can see. Some really scream, even if the diaper is full too long, others not being annoying. Still others are not comfortable with that if it is in the pushchair and in full Wintermontur in over-heated stores closed. No wonder if there are so many young scion patience wire tears. Sometimes roll tangles and blocks babies is so unfortunate in his sleeping bag or, for example, the ceiling on your baby lying coach who has no room for maneuver and more annoying to start shouting. Here is this: If a baby cries, and necessarily respond to see if everything is in order. Sometimes, outwardly visible reason to blame.

Teething pain?
If the baby cries frequently, may also be because the next denticle first - especially after the fourth month of life or later. You can, for example, a reference to teething pain, if the baby is really tired enough to sleep, sometimes even dozed off was violently and suddenly cries out. Parents often report that children around the quengelig tooth and very uneven. Often, also in connection teeth or immediately after a cold.

Dental Children have a strong need for something nuckeln and to bite. Often they are all stuck in his mouth, which can get their fingers, the whole Faust, Wood rattle your arm or Schmusetiers. Facilitating may be somewhat Cool one , to chew, as a carrot or a peeled Biting ring. Are inflamed dental strips and the child is prevented from sleeping well, we can try to massage him the tooth bar with a clean finger - perhaps soaked firm Camomile tea an analgesic or Teething-Gel - to help.

First cold?
If a baby cries a lot, can also be a first infection - a cold or diarrhea - the cause. This is often between the third and sixth month of life. At that time, the maternal protection of nests and baby consumed with upward mobility is always more things in their mouths and comes into contact with so many germs.

If a baby cries a lot and showing signs of cold, for example, a runny nose, is primarily to consider whether it also has a fever. When children have fever doctor. If there is no fever, as this helps to ensure sufficient moisture (wet towels in heating), the baby at all times that amount when it is required then with a blocked nose, possibly with a pipette one to two drops of boiled, slightly salty water into his nose träufeln.

In one of diarrhoeal diseases in babies, incidentally more slimily green chair. In this case children the best doctor.

About irritation?
Most of these parents can sing a song Chen. Jerky one many babies, especially in the early afternoon. Possibly is the number of impressions of the day, which causes a kind of irritation, which - apparently - sometimes just across a wide crying can be reduced. In fact, many babies at the moment nothing for calm and not infrequently is the first to partners working at night to the front door in his hand was depressed, a package crying, while the home or stayed in cord TRACK a back room, the door behind him, and then laboriously struggling to zuknallt version.

Cry against this same hour helpline, the baby in the body to endure, perhaps with the help of a Stretcher cloth or bags, and before it loses nerve to another person who brings back a bit to pick up. Is there not one, is better for the baby sometimes briefly in another room to a safe place (his birthplace) and next door to lay a few minutes deep. Sometimes, at the moment, the miracle of the baby suddenly completely exhausted by the deep sleep and is the mother or father finally relax.

Boredom?
Nobody seems exciting, as long as the roof or on the merits of the sky from a car stay rigid. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that there are always babies in the same places at some boring and yearn for new ideas. How quickly and often, this is totally new temperament of fresh earth depends citizen. Some babies to start quengeln if they are already an hour to get the baby blanket, and others find it shocking at all be taken into account and not always to Mother news arm to explore the apartment. This can also be exhausted at some point and most babies curious calm perfection with a walk.

Development goals?
All parents with the time noted that the life of a baby quiet and unruhigere phases. If a baby cries often inexplicable reasons constantly unstable, less than usual smile and prefer to return permanently to their mom or dad would like, then the footprints are often only a development thrust. The first is not to recognize what is happening, the baby is restless and dependent than before. Suddenly, however, after a few exhausting days or perhaps weeks, remind parents that their baby evolved and acquired new skills. Then, once calmer, more relaxed phase - until the next development thrust is approaching. For the baby at this stage to calm down, is cheap, its need to close more to give and not alarmed that this may be seen as a step backwards.
