a baby of a zero to three months will
follow a passion or rhythm of feed play
and sleep they don't follow a clock what
happens usually is they will feed they
will have some uptime and with their mum
and dad and then once they start to show
those tired signs they'll go back to bed
and have a sleep of one and a half to
two hours so once your baby's awake from
their sleep you'll pick them up you
might consider that a feed for them once
they've had their feed they might be in
a lovely relaxed state where you can
spend some time interacting with your
baby so things that you might notice
about your baby at this period of time
is they are interested in looking at you
they're having some lovely big smiles
with you they're looking for you when
you walk away they might be turning
their head and looking for that time to
interact with their mum or dad
it's an important time between yourself
and your baby it's a bonding time but
it's also a time for your baby to
develop language skills it's very
important for their brain development
they would rather much rather interact
with you and talk to you and have eye
contact and that's that's the most
important thing that you can do for them
at this age

yes the babies between the age of 0 to 3
months
there's no set times babies need to feed
somewhere between 2 to 5 Ally they're
all quite individual but generally over
a 24-hour period they'll feed between 6
to 8 times sometimes babies will feed a
little bit more in the evenings if
they're a bit unsettled and that's quite
normal at this age once you've had some
time of interaction where you might be
chatting to your baby playing with their
toes and fingers they might then start
just to look away from you they might be
starting to say hey mum and dad I'm
really tired I need to go back to bed so
then they might start to do a yawn they
might start to clench their fists again
and possibly even have a little cry so
then we recognise those tired signs and
we may pick our baby up again comfort
them and proceed to take them back to
bed
