When your baby is 3 weeks old, it is now time that you start focusing upon the kind of specific activities that your baby gets easily indulged with. This would try to help you figure out the best way to take proper care of your baby. Following are some of the important points which could help in answering your questions related to your baby’s care:
1. Making your baby lie on its stomach: Although it is very critical that you should be vigilant to make sure that your baby sleeps on its back, it is also important that your baby spends a certain amount of time every day on its stomach. If your baby is continuously resting and spending time on its back, it would not be a right activity to follow because this has a fairly high chance of creating a flat portion on your baby’s head. On the contrary, if the baby is made to lie on its stomach for some time, it would help in developing and strengthening the neck muscles and other vital muscles of the body.
2. Don’t interfere in your baby’s self-calming activities: You must sometimes feel that the thumb sucking activity of your baby is not a very healthy action. But the right thing to do is that you must allow your baby to do whatever it is busy in doing because it is the best way in which the baby would calm itself down most effectively.
3. Maintain a healthy environment around your baby: You must be very careful towards maintaining the healthiest and clean environment around your baby. If you are habitual of smoking and other environment polluting activity, you must at least take care not to do so anywhere near the baby. Similarly, in case of other harmful activities as well, you must be very careful of conserving a healthy ambiance.
4. Allow your baby to develop at its own pace: Although it is quite natural that you might find certain differences in your baby’s developmental process and other babies. But it is to be understood by every parent that each child is different and unique in its physical as well as mental development pattern. You must allow your baby to grow in the pattern in which it feels comfortable and confident in growing. The patterns related to the development of your baby depends on a variety of factors and you must be very considerate of this particular fact and avoid unnecessary comparisons.
