Newborn

When searching for a baby's name begins, some parents look to other countries and languages for inspiration, choosing - for example - Japanese, French, Russian or Turkish names.

Innate reflexes are the automatic and involuntary responses that the newborn makes in the presence of a certain stimulus. The reflex response generally involves a movement, as in the case we are talking about today, the babinski reflex in the baby, also known as the extensor plantar reflex.

Each baby is different, and even if it is the calmest in the world, it may have moments (or days) when it may be more nervous and irritable. When we find ourselves in this situation, the first thing we should do is verify that they are well (starting with the basics, such as checking the diaper and if they are hungry or sleepy), and calm down to calm them in a loving way. We are his support, and if he feels us in the same mood, the scene will become a dead end loop.

The grasp reflex in babies is known, the one that causes babies to make an attempted grasping movement at any contact with the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet. The plantar grasp reflex refers to the arching movement of the baby's toes upon contact.

Every time a baby is born, people close to the parents want to meet him as soon as possible, and many of them want to hold him in their arms. And, who can resist such tenderness? I admit that I am one of those people who see a baby and feel the urgent need to touch its little hands, legs, feet ...

Babies at birth have their eyes wide open, as if they want to capture the whole new world that has just appeared before their eyes for the first time. However, they see practically nothing.

There is no mother of older children who I have not heard say "it seems to me that it was yesterday that I had my children in my arms." And yes, it seems like yesterday to me too. In fact, the little girl is two years old and I swear to you that the feeling of wanting to cradle her is such that sometimes the nostalgia invades me to know that those moments will not return.

Kissing other people's babies is something that people love, a habit that, in addition to being disrespectful, can be very dangerous for a baby. Most people are unaware of the serious danger that kissing newborns can cause.
