Things that children of this age can generally do:
Motion.
The limbs can be translated, and the small hand can move from the eye to the mouth, but the control is still unstable. The fingers are gripped and the gentle movements can be straightened separately. The two feet of the newborn will naturally bend inward. It may take a few weeks for the child's body to gradually stretch out. If you lie, the head can't be lifted or can only be lifted for a short time, but you can move left and right.
Cognition.
Can see objects 20-30 cm away: When the parents hold the child in their arms, the child can clearly see the parents' faces. Children may have a line of sight that is often referred to as a cross-eyed eye. This condition is usually physiological. As the child's eye muscles mature, the control ability increases, and the cross-eyed eyes disappear. This usually waits 2-3 months after birth. If this condition persists after 2-3 months, go to the ophthalmology clinic.
Children can distinguish between light and dark, and contrasting patterns can attract children's attention, such as black and white cards. Children are more interested in faces than other patterns.
The child can recognize some sounds and hear the familiar sounds may turn to the sound source. It is easy for a child to recognize the voice of the mother. If the father is accompanied enough during pregnancy, the child may soon know the voice of the father.
Reflection.
Grab the reflection: The finger touches the child's palm, and he can hold it for a while. Sucking and foraging reflex: Touch the child's cheek with a nipple or nipple, the child's head will turn to the nipple or nipple, then suck. Step reflection: Hold your child under your arm and let the child try to stand on the plane. He will have a stepping motion. This is not the child can hold on.
Hug Reflex: The child is suddenly stimulated, and the two arms will be outstretched and straightened, then they will receive the chest and flex like a hug.
This age is generally not possible:
When you are holding it, you need to hold your head and neck. The head is still not well controlled, and you can't stand up with your head down. The child will not speak, even if it is oh yeah. Crying is the child's main expression, and if there is something wrong, he will cry. The child's vision can only see the object 20-30 cm in front of the eye. Above this distance, the child's line of sight begins to dissociate. Children can't distinguish too many colors, and pictures with similar colors can't attract children's attention.

Advice for novice parents:
Sleep.
The child sleeps most of the day, wakes up every two or three hours to eat, and then is likely to start snoring again, then go to sleep. It's hard to say how long a small child should sleep, but it's common to sleep about 16 to 20 hours a day, but usually it doesn't take more than two to four hours. The child may sleep at any time, or may wake up, and the child's circadian rhythm has not yet been established. It is unrealistic to try to get children to work regularly at this time. The increasing crying of the child may make the parents tired. We recommend that parents follow the child's work, and the child will sleep and sleep. Parents can try to adjust, let the children stay in a bright and fun environment during the day, and be in a dark and relaxed environment at night, but don't expect too much.
Activity.
Children of this age are sleeping most of the time, but parents can already interact with their children. You can whisper to your child while feeding or changing diapers. Pay attention to the child's vision range, holding the child, he will stare at the parents' faces, parents can move around to attract the child's sight.
After two weeks, the child can let the child try to hold the activity for a while, which of course requires close observation by the parents. Give your child two or three times a day, the floor can be, the parents can have a stomach, a short time, three to five minutes can be, as the child's ability to improve, you can gradually increase the time of squatting-this will help the child The arms and neck become stronger and the child can avoid sleeping flat.
Eed.
At this time, both breastfeeding and artificial feeding are carried out on demand. Usually 2-3 hours to feed, the child will wake up to find food, but if the child has not eaten for more than 5 hours, it is recommended to gently stimulate the child, such as whispering, soft light stimulation, gentle body touch activities, wake up the child for feeding.
