Having a little baby at home can make many young parents feel flustered and even physically and mentally exhausted. In fact, there are also ways to raise a baby. Jane Gu, a renowned American parenting expert with over 30 years of clinical experience and pediatrician from Southern California, has taught parents some practical tips.

Don't hold the baby when he cries. In Dr. Jian's opinion, babies who love to cry are all caused by their parents' habits. Because newborn babies cannot understand language and rely on conditioned reflexes to 'train' them. After excluding factors such as bedwetting and hunger, if a child is picked up as soon as they cry, it is easy to form negative feedback; Only when he obediently picks up and doesn't make any noise, can the baby understand what kind of behavior adults like.

You don't need to breastfeed frequently at night. Many mothers feed their children 2-3 times at night, but normal people do not need to eat multiple times at night, including infants. Don't worry about your baby going hungry at night, it's much more important to give them a good sleep than to wake them up and breastfeed them. Therefore, as long as there is no sign of hunger waking up, the baby can sleep until they naturally wake up.

Teach the baby to sleep on their own. Most of a baby's time needs to be spent in bed, but the bed does not shake on its own. Therefore, in order for babies to learn to enjoy the happy time lying in bed, parents do not need to pick up the baby and shake it vigorously, walk back and forth, etc., let alone coax the child to sleep like this, just gently place him on the bed.

Don't cover your baby as "Zongzi". Parents should believe in the baby's own resistance. When adults wear two clothes, the baby does not need to wear three. In the process of children's growth, it is necessary to constantly exercise and enhance their resistance. Therefore, parents sometimes need to be "tough" and let them adapt to environmental changes on their own, rather than being wrapped up in layers.

Baby should use less shower gel when taking a bath. Although babies may smell like they are covered in a milky odor, in reality, they will be healthy as long as they wash away sweat and bacteria. No matter how famous the baby products are, they are not as healthy and natural as plain water. When bathing a baby, try to use as little shower gel or shampoo as possible, or only use them once or twice a week.

Don't ruin the baby's concentration. Even for the smallest baby playing with toys or reading picture books, it's best for adults not to interrupt them easily, even if it's a little later than the expected feeding time. Protecting children's focus from a young age is beneficial for them to concentrate and do anything when they grow up.

Walk slowly and speak softly. The words and deeds of adults are crucial for children. If you want to cultivate an elegant and polite child, please do not shout loudly at home, let the child feel a peaceful and tranquil environment from an early age.

Criticize children no more than twice a day. When many parents criticize their children, they tend to strongly condemn or magnify minor issues, which can have a significant impact on their self-esteem and confidence. It is recommended that parents criticize their children for only saying it once or twice a day, instead of saying it immediately. Some mistakes may be understood by the child immediately, and parents do not need to reinforce them again.
