One-month-old development. Small things not to be overlooked. 👶

"You're only a month old. What can you improve?"

Admittedly, before having a baby, we thought that a one-month-old would only eat, sleep and cry, but when we raised it, we realized that it was only the first month that his body and brain were learning by leaps and bounds.

Every day we see small changes that make a smile.

Some days you start looking at us longer.

Sometimes it's like listening carefully when talking.

The handshake is still very tight.

And when you panic loudly, you flinch with age.

At first we didn't know that these were the normal development of a month-old child until we started studying and observing him every day.

The other thing we've been working on since Phoebus was about 10 days old is Tummy Time, done shortly at a time when you're awake, in a good mood, and with an adult.

I didn't do it because I wanted you to be better than anyone. I just wanted him to practice my muscles.

When she was two months old, she took her appointment and said,

"Your neck is very strong, not wobbling at all." 🥹🤍

I hear that. Mothers are proud, too.

But I have to say, each child does not develop as well, some do it quickly, some are a little slower, which is normal. Tummy Time is just one of the activities that promotes development. It does not mean that everyone will work as well.

Based on the data we read and what the doctor suggested, a one-month-old child will start to develop this kind of development.

🤍 Lift your head a little when lying upside down.

🤍 is clearly visible at about 20 to 30 centimeters, which fits the amount of time we feed.

🤍 likes to look at their parents and start looking at slow objects.

🤍 heard the voice at birth and became familiar with the voice of the family.

🤍 a tight grip with a Moro Reflex, which is a natural development.

Many people ask if they have to buy a lot of developmental toys.

For us, the answer is not necessary.

What you need most at this age is

🍼 Enough milk.

😴. Safe sleep.

🤍 The embrace of parents.

👀 Eye contact.

🗣️. Daily talk.

These may seem ordinary, but instead they stimulate the brain and form the best bond during the first months of life.

Today we are new mothers who learn along with Phoebus. No one is perfect at raising children, but we try our best every day and are glad to see them grow and become strong and learn new things little by little.

I hope this post will encourage all new parents and hope that the one-month development summary we made will help you understand your baby at this age. 💛
