The balustrade of the crib should be higher than 60cm to prevent the baby from falling. The gap between the railings should be between 2.5-6cm. If the gap is too small, it is easy to trap the baby's arms and legs. If the gap is too large, the baby's small hands and feet are easy to slide out, it will cause certain security risks. It's better to wrap the bed of pure cotton cloth around the railing of the small bed, and wash it frequently to keep it clean.

The tight package limits the baby's free movement and growth.

Generally speaking, exclusively breastfed babies don't need to feed water within 4 months when the number of defecations is normal, which doesn't mean that they can't feed water. If it is in hot summer or dry winter, you can also properly add a little water. For those who drink formula, they should feed water between two times of feeding, and each time the amount of water is about half of the amount of milk per meal.
18. The easiest way to confirm whether the baby is fed properly is to regularly record the growth data of the baby's body weight and length according to the sleeping situation and the number and quantity of defecation and defecation every day.

Later, with the increase of lactation, the baby's weight will resume to increase within a week.
20. It's really worried and distressed to see the baby overflowing, but how can the baby show no sign of suffering? Because for the baby, overflowing is a common phenomenon. Baby's stomach is horizontal. The upper cardia of the stomach is loose while the lower pylorus is tight. If you eat too much or too fast or intake air, it's easy to have milk overflowing. So every time after feeding, mothers should hold the baby and burp, then put it down, and let the baby lie on the right side first, which can effectively prevent overfeeding.

But if you find that your baby still has abnormal temperature changes, you'd better consult a professional!
