Development
of babies
They like to be carried in your arms and to
be comforted. Interaction between babies and mothers through comfort not only
helps connect mothers and babies but also calm babies when they feel unpleasant
or surly, and it nourishes their emotion.
At this time, babies begin to know how to
suck their fingers and give anything to their mouth. Therefore, you should look
after them carefully and do not let them be alone with anything that they can
give to their mouth and anything dangerous for them.

well as body of mothers. You can see that your hip and waist become big, and
especially belly. Many mothers fear that they cannot return weight of the time
before they are pregnant. However, you are rather fat at this time. If your
weight is in allowed scale, you should be calm. You should spend time with at
least 9 months to take stature back of the time when you are pregnant.

the best way is that you shouldn’t try to limit eating and drinking. You should
relax and feel comfortable instead of diet or practicing sport.

Changes
of mothers: Change in friend relationship
Having more children will affect the relationship
between you and all of the people including your friends. Some friends are
happy when you have children as if they have. However, some others are envious
with you and the others don’t want to play with you like before… However, you
cannot completely lay blame them because you yourself have a lot of changes. In
the past, you often shared with your friends some hobbies such as going to bar,
going shopping. But, this no longer exists because it isn’t suitable with you
at this time.
Although you cannot make the relationship
become normal, you can balance all of your friendship. Your friends cannot
expect that you will put your child on one side and you cannot also force them
to talk stories about being mother. You should harmonize friendship by creating
time to meet such as having lunch only with 2 friends or inviting them to go to
your house and visit baby.
You also have to accept that you will lose
some close friends, but at that time, your baby will bring you a lot of new
friends. They are people that just become parents like you and they have the
same point with you.

They begin to roll. When you try to put
babies lie on their front, they begin to raise their neck and shoulder with the
support of 2 arms. This exercise can support them to develop well and helps
them discover their interesting abilities. They will practice lying on their
front and on their back by themselves.
You can encourage babies to roll by
themselves by putting an attractive thing next to them and cheering to help
them overthrow their body to take their favorite toy. For babies, this skill is
also an adventurous thing, so parents should encourage them by clapping your
hands and smile with them.

It’s difficult for mothers to give their
babies to someone
An emotion that often takes place to
mothers is that they often worry and don’t feel secure when they ask their
parents or believable babysitter to take care of their babies. This is a sign
that proves they take care of their children a lot.
However, it isn’t a good idea if you always
stay with your baby. You always stay with your baby and you don’t believe in the
care of anybody against the reality that you need to have a private time to
restore your health, to warm up your love with your husband or go to work
again. Surely, you have to practice babies to be familiar with babysitter. This
thing is necessary and completely normal.
If you never hire a babysitter, you can ask
for consult or introduction of other parents. Before choosing a person, you
should let her to look after your baby while you are doing housework and
observe the way that she interacts with your child. And then you can be brave
and give your child to her and go out for shopping so that you can recognize whether
your child are familiar with that person or not. You should remember that your
child prefers to stay with you, so you need to be clever so that your child
won’t follow you when the babysitter replaces you to look after it.
