In order to offer the baby adequate care from the moment it is born, we must start by preparing the basket that we take to the hospital with everything it may need.
The baby distinguishes sounds around the sixteenth week of pregnancy and reacts to these sounds by accelerating its heart rate, feels sounds that come from outside the uterus. But it is around the sixth month of gestation that the future baby recognizes the voice of its mother and the difference between other voices.
If you have just had a baby, you have probably noticed that they startle too much, and many times they do so even when they sleep. These startles come in the form of jumping up or opening and waving the arms as if falling. Although this is an unpleasant sensation for the baby (and one that may even worry parents), it is completely normal and is part of their primary reflexes.
In recent years, the meaning and practicality of the Attachment Theory, initially formulated by the developmental psychologist J. Bowlby and later enriched by other authors, has acquired great importance.
After being born, it is normal for the baby to lose weight in the following days until it receives food and begins to gain it. It is what is known as neonatal physiological weight loss in which the normal thing is that they lose between 5% and 7% of the newborn's weight, and a maximum of 10%, which they should no longer reach.
One of the favorite moments for parents and (some) babies is bath time: it is a time in which we enjoy watching them and in which they tend to relax due to the effect of the water. However, when we are first-timers it is normal that during the first times we have some doubts: how to hold it, how long should it last, what products should I use, and the most common, what is the perfect temperature for the baby to be comfortable and at ease?
Smell is the most developed sense in the baby at the time of birth, much superior to that we have as adults, to such an extent that it allows it to feed itself by looking for the mother's breast. If the baby is placed on the mother's abdomen in skin-to-skin contact, the baby will instinctively crawl up to her breast. The newborn will crawl, guided by the smell, until it reaches the nipple and begins to suck.
