Young mothers, caring for a baby, often make mistakes out of inexperience. They listen to the opinion of the grandmother and overly confuse the baby, talk very little with the baby, thinking that she does not understand, do not allow the child to swim in the spacious bathtub on a beautiful rubber ring.
My daughter is already 1.5 years old, but it seems that recently arrived from the hospital. Then I was an inexperienced young mother and made mistakes in caring for her.
Mistakes
Consider some of the mistakes in caring for babies: they are wrapped warmer; Do not change the pose of the baby during sleep; consider diaper rash; Do not talk with the baby; when they bathe, they are afraid to let others swim in the bathroom.
Aren't you cold, baby?
In the first months, it often seemed to me that my daughter was freezing. I touched her handles and they were cool. She wore clothes warmer in the apartment and on the street. Mom said that I was doing everything right. If there is another blouse on top, the baby will definitely not freeze.
Once I invited a neighbor working as a pediatrician to visit. She was indignant that the apartment was warm, I did not wear a hat, but pulled it on the baby.
I replied that I washed my daughter an hour ago, so I put on my hat. But the neighbor did not back down and said that it was quite warm and that the hat was not needed. She said that during the times of perestroika she was also a young mother and put on a hat for her little son, but then in the apartment it was +16 C (the heating was often turned off), and she constantly blew from the slots on the windows.
The neighbor left, and I became thoughtful. After all, my mother told me how cold it was when she raised me in a dormitory, and in our apartment +22 C and in the plastic windows there are no gaps, and therefore drafts. I decided that I won’t wrap up the baby tomorrow. Now I am tempering her. In winter, she runs barefoot in my panties.

Change the pose
My daughter was so tiny that I was afraid to touch her and turn her over again. It turns out that it is necessary to change the pose of the baby so that the skull does not deform. When the baby is not sleeping, turn it over after some time on its side, then on its back, on the other side.
By the way! Even in the department of refuseniks in the maternity hospital, babies should be turned over every 3 or 4 hours from side to side. Such an instruction, until you learn how to roll over yourself.
Diapers are evil?
Walking on the playground with the baby I heard that many children have diaper rash. Moms complained about diapers. Use them correctly and everything will be in order. Change every 3 hours. After a bowel movement, changing the diaper is a must.

What shall we talk about?
At first, I talked / talked very little with my newborn daughter. Moreover, she believed that the neighbor, who was constantly gently cooing with her newborn son, was strange. I realized that I was wrong when my daughter smiled for the first time. Then I realized that my baby understands everything and wants me to speak with her affectionately, stroke, kiss.
Bathing
When the baby turned 1 month old, Kuma presented a rubber ring in which the child can swim in the spacious bath. I thought that such a bath could be dangerous for my daughter and hid the circle in the dresser. I decided that I’ll read on the Internet whether it’s possible to bathe a newborn in such a way and call the pediatrician for advice.
I remembered the rubber ring when my daughter turned 5 months old. The pediatrician approved such a bath in a large bathtub, but said that this had to be done earlier when the child was 1-2 months old.
I put on an inflatable circle for my daughter and tried to teach her how to swim, but she could not swim. It is large and strong, pushed off the bottom and dived upside down like a dolphin.

So, because of fears, I was mistaken when my daughter grew up. Dear readers, share how you were mistaken when caring for a baby?

Yes, horror, of course, what young mothers do. I remember myself, I think and how I could think so. I remember reading that vitamin D3 is toxic, and I decided. that I will not give it to my son. As a result, our fontanel closed only in a year and a half.
Little children are a great happiness in our family. When I gave birth to the eldest daughter, they gave me her hands, I looked at her and thought about what to do next? It’s very scary for the first time, there are a lot of different tips and you don’t know what to listen to, mother says one thing, mother-in-law is different and she’s scared to be for the baby’s health and its further development. And I bathed in boiled water, and washed clothes with washing soap, constantly wrapped, and suddenly it freezes ?! Although I understood that it was possible not to do all this.
My baby is already 2 g 3 m, I constantly talked with her from the first days, asked how she slept, what she dreamed of, what wonderful and beloved she was, she summed up a year and 3 without interruption, now she’s building 5-7 sentences without leading questions, I have been talking to his son for 3 months, and he has a huge supply of sounds and answers all my questions with grimaces and smiles. And from the mistakes I tried to open the head, it turns out that if there are no redness and problems with urination, this is not necessary at all. daughter was a mistake to allow grandfather to sit on the table booty, oh, how long then we struggled with this !!!!
