There are some differences in the naming of babies at different time periods after birth, and there are also differences in the points that mothers need to pay attention to during these different periods. For example, there are differences in feeding and care during the neonatal period, infancy, and early childhood. So, which stage does the neonatal period refer to?
1. One month after birth. The period within one month of a baby's birth is called the neonatal period, while the period during which the mother is born is the postpartum period. In the neonatal period, the characteristics of babies are mainly sleeping more, eating more, and pulling more. At the same time, due to their delicate body, there are many precautions in bathing care and feeding. For babies with weaker physical constitution, specialized feeding of newborn formula may be necessary.
2. Infancy. A baby is called a baby after one month and continues until it reaches one year old. During this period, babies need to experience various tasks such as turning over, sitting, and crawling, and their speaking ability continues to improve and enhance. well-developed babies are already able to produce some words or syllables more clearly. Start eating complementary foods slowly in terms of diet.
3. Early childhood. Babies aged one to three are in the early childhood stage, during which they learn a lot. By the end of their early childhood, most babies are able to express their needs clearly and have started to focus on food or completely quit dairy and formula.
