In the last three months before birth, a child has the ability to learn and remember. Knowing your toddler's habits can help a lot in caring for him.

Although we consciously do not remember the time when we swayed inside our mother's belly, our body remembered these comfortable conditions very carefully. A newborn baby feels safer in an environment where he already knows some of the features. Therefore, it is worth knowing what your baby remembers during the last three months of pregnancy to use this knowledge to help him adapt to the new environment.

Small space

A toddler is used to being cramped, so he feels safer in a small bed, stroller, covered and even tightly wrapped in a blanket or a horn. When left in a large space, he feels insecure, flustered and anxious.

Rocking

It's no secret that the baby will calm down and fall asleep faster when mum lulls it to sleep in her arms, in a stroller or in a cradle. Rocking babies cope better with adapting to life outside their mother's body, they develop better physically and mentally.

Embryonic position

After birth, the baby takes the position in which it has been inside the mother's abdomen for nine months. This position of the body (shrunken hands and feet) relaxes him and makes it easier to fall asleep.

Worth knowing

Most pre-birth tastes stay with us throughout our lives. As adults, we find relaxation in a rocking chair or a hammock, and the rhythmic rocking of the train has a soothing and sleepy effect. The feeling of security is also ensured by a cozy blanket covering the body and discreet, dim light.

Twilight

The baby in the mother's body develops in the dark and there are not many opportunities to perceive visual stimuli. The memory of this experience means that in moments of rest and relaxation, when a toddler is to feel safe and cozy, he prefers dimmed light (but not a dark room!).

Warm bath

Newborns just love it. The soothing effect of water is the result of remembering the aquatic environment from the prenatal period. So let's use the evening bath to strengthen the bond with the child, play, get to know each other.

Smell

Newbornimmediately after birth, he recognizes his mother by smell - it gives him a sense of security resulting from communing with something that is already known and recognized.

Mom's heartbeat

The baby remembers best the sounds of mother's heartbeats and sounds related to the work of her internal organs. When newborns hear the recording of the human heartbeat, they calm down, relax, breathe better, eat and sleep.

Mother's voice

It's not just about its color. A newborn baby calms down when he hears a song often sung by his mother while she was still pregnant. He also associates the literary works and sayings she repeats. It is important to know that the baby prefers the mother's voice over any other voice, and prefers the sound of human speech to any other sound in its environment. The newborn also remembers the voices of people with whom the mother often came into contact during pregnancy. Hearing them makes me feel safer, calmer and more playful.
