A baby's good habits start from life
A baby's living habits include regular meals, fixed position, fixed quantity, not being picky about food, not being partial to certain food, sleep, and hygiene, etc. These habits not only ensure the healthy growth and development of the baby but also make the baby's personality healthier.
Good eating habits mean not being picky about food or partial to certain food, including not eating too much of one type of food, timely adding complementary food, classifying and adding until it becomes diverse and rich. After 9 months, babies should eat minced vegetables and practice chewing. Letting children be full is more important than letting them eat well. We need to pay attention to the color, aroma, and taste of the food, and let children learn the appropriate chewing speed. Children who chew too fast are prone to obesity.
Sleep should be on time. Often, when children sleep too late, it has something to do with their parents' schedule. Parents come home late from work and play with their children for a while. It is natural for children to look forward to intimate exchanges with their parents, which unconsciously makes their bedtime later.
We must cultivate in children the understanding that "bed" is a place for rest and sleep. Try to go to bed and sleep as soon as possible after getting into bed. Some parents let their children play in bed when trying to get them to sleep, which confuses the child about the functional zoning of the house. We need to let children understand the rules. On the bed, they should quietly prepare for sleep. You can choose gentle nursery rhymes, soothing storytelling, or adjust the lighting to help your child fall asleep, providing them with a quiet, comfortable, and safe sleeping environment.
In terms of hygiene, parents are the first teachers of their children, and their daily behavior directly influences their children. Parents themselves cannot achieve what they require of their children. Not littering paper, not spitting anywhere, and actively brushing teeth are all habits formed unconsciously.
Leverage children's natural ability to imitate, provide timely and correct guidance, form rules, develop regular living habits, and raising a baby will give parents a greater sense of accomplishment.
