If you ask why a baby is constantly hungry, or eat very little, why not wants to sleep and would be constantly busy or it is constantly tired, why it cries a lot or it is suddenly much quieter, why it clings to the parents or even smiling at strangers ... Well, sure, there is only one answer: The baby has just a growth spurt (behind)! :)
growth spurts are not seen in the context of the physical growth - much longer are the cracks in the mental and physical development of the baby. Accordingly, a baby develops in every thrust suddenly new skills, bring new opportunities to the baby. influence
Such new capabilities the overall behavior of the baby, and laborious, often tearful phases are the first signs of such a push. The baby is stressful and difficult than usual because his familiar world is suddenly turned upside down. It Scares literally before the new skills or new perception and is therefore restless and dissatisfied. One might think that the baby was ill or that there is not enough. In fact, it's like this, that babies need at this time usually more food. For breastfeeding mothers, like my humble self, this means that the milk production must first adapt to the increased demand. This takes a little:) Fortunately, the phase of a growth spurt to end as quickly as it started is added. After the jump is usually followed by a relaxed kindly phase in which the baby tried the new skills. Sometimes it is the jump so exhausted that even a few sleep-intensive Lodges days to recover from the strains and to process the newly learned.
The growth jumps are the same age in babies usually found at the same time. There are deviations in children who were born too early or too late. Is the baby for example a week born "too late" to catch the jumps a week at more. The theory of growth spurts is due to van der Rijt and Plooji that such phases have first discovered in chimpanzees babies and then also in human babies. Who does not want to Psycho-paper-reading, this can be included in their book, "T he wonder weeks" or "Oops, I'm growing" to read. So there are in the first 14 months 8 drawers, about the 5th, 8th, 12th, 19te, 26TE, 37TE, 46te 55te and week of life.
Actually, I was this theory initially very skeptical about. I could (and it can sometimes still do not) tell me, why not the mental and physical development of the baby should be continuous but erratic. However, I must admit that we also noticed such surges in Alinchen - to my surprise actually mentioned in the periods. (Well we had only 2:)) Now you might wonder exactly how much is in there interpreted the event. If I but the last Consider days, it is more than obvious that Alina can suddenly new things: She found her hands and tried to attack (usually without success yet) after things. They "talk" more and has expanded its sound repertoire considerably. She answers our laughter and adheres firmly to the wearing apparel. This was most noticeable until now but they seem much more aware of their environment increases. This goes so far that we could go in the last few days hardly walk, because once we were outside and it has become louder, began to weep bitterly. You eat it like a champ, so that I'm almost felt like a full-time dairy cow. As I slowly got used to it already, yesterday came back everything was different and the little one has slept through the entire day. She has so much and slept so hard that we started to worry us that she would not eat enough. So we have tried every 4 to 5 hours to wake up, which sometimes lasted three quarters of an hour!
Well, maybe this is really something to it in these development thrusts. We'll see how it works on. The next was supposed to come in about 4 weeks. Hopefully everything goes then again as this time without crying ...
