Generally, babies need to undergo big motor training after 4 months, which is beneficial for their growth and development, as well as promoting intellectual development. The main exercises are pulling and sitting, while playing with the baby. However, it is important to pay attention to the strength. Below, we will explain the issues related to baby training at 4 months.
1、 Big Movement Training for Four Months Baby
1. From the fourth month, babies can play sit down games with their mother or father every day. The purpose of the sit down game is to activate the muscles in the baby's waist, neck, and abdomen. The sit down game requires the baby to lie on the bed first, and the parent should hold the baby's arms tightly and pull them towards themselves, while pulling the baby up and saying "one, two, three sit up". After the baby sits up, he says "One, two, three babies lie down" while gently placing the baby down. If the baby's head is soft, you can also hold the baby's head with one hand and hold their hands with the other.
2. During training, parents face their babies, pulling and sitting while playing with them, allowing them to practice in pleasure. As the number of training sessions increases, the baby can sit up on their own with just a gentle pull from the family. Then the family gradually reduced the pulling force, turning into a posture where there was actually no force, and the baby would sit up on its own. When starting sit down training, the time is generally controlled at around 5 minutes each time, and then gradually extended to 15-20 minutes.
2、 Key points for nursing a 4-month-old baby
1. Drooling
Due to underdeveloped saliva and low saliva secretion in newborns, saliva secretion increases from 3-4 months. After 6 months, due to changes in diet and stimulation of nerves, saliva secretion increases, leading to drooling.
2. Choose a baby stroller
After the baby is born, different baby strollers should be selected according to different age stages, generally requiring two types. There are two types of strollers: one is a dual-purpose stroller for sitting and sleeping, and the other is a portable folding stroller for going out. These two types of cars have their own purposes and are suitable for different occasions.
3. Baby haircut
The skull of a baby is relatively soft and the scalp is tender. If the hair is cut accidentally, it is easy to scratch the baby's scalp and cause infection. When cutting hair, the mother should move gently, not compete with the baby, and follow the baby's movements. Always pay attention to the baby's expression. If the baby is unhappy or wants to cry, please stop shaving immediately.
The above is about the training methods and some nursing points for babies at 4 months old. Generally, some parents send them to early education institutions for early enlightenment and intellectual development. Nursing is still very important, and nutrition must be strengthened. You can eat some milk powder and gradually add complementary foods.
