If the baby bends at the time you feed it, it can be a sign of reflux. Try to avoid stress while breastfeeding - the experiences of the mother affect the baby. Shakes his head Sometimes babies can jerk their heads sharply, bumping against the bottom of the crib or its sides. This again is a sign of discomfort or pain.

Suffices itself for earsNe cost immediately panic if the baby pulls his ears. He is so entertained and learns - the surrounding sounds are becoming quieter, then louder. In addition, babies often grab their ears when their teeth are chopped. But if the child at the same time cries, you need to run to the doctor and check whether the baby has caught the ear infection.

If you are breastfeeding, watch your diet: something in the diet causes increased gas formation in the baby. And do not forget to hold the baby upright after feeding so that he burps the air. In case of constipation, consult a doctor.7. Throws up armsThis is the baby's first reaction to the environment, a sign of alertness. As a rule, the baby throws up his arms when he hears a sudden sound or when a bright light is turned on. Sometimes babies do this when you put them in the crib: they feel the loss of support. This reflex usually disappears four months after birth. Until then, it is worth remembering that this movement is unconscious, and the child can accidentally scratch himself. Therefore, it is recommended to swaddle children or put special mittens on their arms during sleep.
