Movements of your baby’s arms become more coordinated. And everything, that gets into his hands goes to his mouth to undergo a “test” right away. Most parents get trouble about these “testing” and they make attempts to get all dirty subjects away from their babies surrounding. And they are right from one point of view. All things, that have sharp edges and all dirty things become dangerous for a baby as the time goes. But nevertheless you should keep in mind that none of us is produced to live in a sterile world. Your baby’s body is supposed to get adapted to the existing microorganisms.
It would be reasonable to begin to prepare your house to the expressions of your baby’s investigation of the surrounding under a slogan «What is this?» Even being on your hands, this little creature wants to touch and taste a porcelain vase, which was gifted to you by your mother-in-low, or a bottle of expensive perfume. All parents in the world have double points of view on it. One of them consider it is better to leave everything on its place, thinking that their baby is to learn what is allowed and what is forbidden from the moment of his arrival. Other advise to hide all the jewels and relics away for a while in order a baby would not know the word “no” so far. But choosing something “in the middle” would be the best. You should remove those thing, which may be spoiled by your son’s or daughter’s extra interest temporally, and being aware of your baby’s tastes, give him something different. But still, you will have to use “no” sooner or later.
Sleep
By the end of the third month your baby can sleep up to 10 hours at night. But his sleep is of an irregular character, you little one wakes up quite often (unexpectedly for you) and begins to cry or to suck his finger. But this is neither naughtiness nor a disease. Such awakens are normal phenomena for an infant-in-arms period. You baby will sleep better after some time, if you will not create a stress situation by waking him up in order to make sure he is all right.
Language
Your little baby shows you his vocal abilities more and more often; by this time new intonations and sounds have appeared in his voice. In such a way any little child would expresses his wish to communicate with people, surrounding him. You should pay attention that your baby “answers” only after you finish talking to him, as if this little creature listens to what you have told. Of course no baby of this age is able to understand our language, but every little child has a wish to communicate. Scientists have made the following experiment: after every sound of a baby some melody began to play. Babies listened to it, but they did not “respond”, and only after they heard some voice of a person, they would begin to “talk” again.
Quite often your baby has a wish to talk to himself, begin alone. He would play with his hands, under his own sounds accompaniment. It has been proved, that these children grow calmer than those, who were limited in communication and singing”.
While taking care after your baby, you should explain every your action to him. And it is not necessary to talk to in a baby’s language; you should better use our adult language. Although your little one can not understand you yet, it will become a kind of training for his future communication.
If you have some time to play with your baby, do not forget to talk to him while playing: show and name all the objects you see, copy animal’s sounds, and tell which animal they belong to, etc.
There are children, who like to “”listen to some calm, or even dancing music while they are in their active period. Let them do it, as you may possibly have some future Vivaldy in the cradle!
