TWo Month oldSMe\n\nRecommendations from yourpediatrician  \nYou and your baby have now settled into a routine as she continues to learn tointeract with you and her environment.By two months you are now getting used tothis new member of your family.She has started to smile at your face and the soundof your voice.This reward of your child's smile is the beginning of many more joyfulmoments to come.  \n## Feeding\n\nAt this time your baby should only be feeding breast milk or formula with 6-8 feeds aday.She DOES NOT need water or to be introduced other foods or cereals yet.Herdigestive system is not ready for them.A typical schedule may be the following:  \n6:30-7:00 Wake-up and Eat 4-6oz bottle or 20 minutes of breastfeeding  \n7:00-8:00 Playtime  \n8:00-10:00 Morning nap  \n10:00 Feeding time 4-6 oz bottle or 20 minutes of breastfeeding  \n10:30-11:30 Playtime  \n11:30-1:00 Mid afternoon nap  \n1:00 Feeding time 4-6 oz bottle or 20 minutes of breastfeeding  \n1:30-2:30 Playtime  \n2:30-4:00 Naptime  \n4:00 Feeding time:4-6 oz bottle or 20 minutes of breastfeeding  \n4:30-5:00 Playtime  \n5:00-6:00 Take baby for stroll outside  \n6:00 Bath time(never leave baby alone in bathtub)  \n6:30 Read a book to baby  \n7:00 Feeding time 4-6 oz bottle or 20 minutes of breastfeeding  \n7:30 Bedtime  \n10:30 Nighttime Dream Feed 4-6 oz bottle or 20 minutes of breastfeeding  \n1:00-2:00 Baby may awaken to feed again  \nDon't worry if your baby does not follow this schedule exactly as this is just a guide.Continue to feed your baby on demand but try to space the feeds to every 3 hours duringthe day.Many babies “spit-up”after feeds.This is normal for some babies but if your baby isspitting up after every feed,crying and arching her back this could be a sign of GERD orgastroesophageal reflux.The first step is to make sure your baby burps well half way  \nthrough the feed and after the feed.Keep your baby upright for 30-45 minutes after feeds.Ifyour baby continues to spit up your doctor may prescribe a medicine.  \n## Playtime\n\nTalk and sing to your baby to stimulate her verbal development.Provide some time with theradio and TV off to communicate with your baby daily.Do not feel that you have to keepyour home completely quiet for your baby.Read books to her daily.Show her colorfulobjects of varying shapes and textures.Her vision is much better now than immediatelyafter birth and she will enjoy looking and studying your face.  \n## Development\n\nSocial Smile-By two months your baby will smile at the sight of your face or the sound ofyour voice.  \nCooing-Your baby will start to make vowel sounds “ahh-goo”as a form of communication.She will talk with you in her own language.  \nTrack objects 180 degrees-Your baby will ollow our movements around the room.She will eventually be able to follow an object in a circular pattern too!  \nImproved Head Control-When on her belly,your baby may raise her head off theground for a few seconds.It is important to place her on her tummy for TUMMY TIME twicea day for 5-10 minutes so she can develop a stronger neck and back muscles.Do not leaveher on her tummy unsupervised,as she does not have good enough head control to alwaysclear her airway.  \nImproved Fine Motor Skills-Your baby will open and close her hands.She will nothold them tightly shut as when she was first born.She will start to grasp objects such asrattles in her hands and drop them shortly after.Make sure to cut her nails weekly and donot place mittens on her hands,as she needs her hands free to explore her new world.  \n## Developing Social Skills\n\nActivities to continue:Soothe and calm your baby when fussy and respond promptlyto cries.Smile and talk to your baby often.Rock,cuddle,and sing songs to your baby.Propyour baby up to see what does on around them.  \nBeing massaged:To relax your baby,gently stroke their back,arms,or legs from top tobottom.  \nBeing bathed:Run a shallow bath of warm water.Hold your baby securely and let themsplash,kick,and enjoy.  \nLooking in mirrors:Show yo","cbCairNibQEnl883","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairNibQEnl883","pdf",971734,"English","# Feeding\n# Playtime\n# Development\n##
