Your little sunshine has only been in this world a short time. And their development is far from over. A lot of special first-time moments await you, especially in the first year.
Shortly after birth, your baby already searches for their favourite source of nutrition and with that, breastfeeding begins. As a new mother, you are bound to have a lot of questions about breastfeeding.
Your baby's search, sucking and swallowing reflexes function with downright precision right from birth.
Hormones for the production and release of milk are triggered via your nervous system.
Your baby is discovering a new toy — their hands. Their movements are becoming more coordinated and they grasp more accurately. You can actively support this development with finger games or action nursery rhymes!
They are repeating their first sounds, they are kicking about energetically and their head is becoming more stable.
They do their first mini press-ups while lying on their tummies.
Your baby is slowly learning to roll, shuffle around on their tummy, and sit without support.
The physical exertion throughout the day also makes your baby hungrier. During the first 6 months, your baby gets everything they need from breast milk. After the 4th month at the earliest, and by the beginning of the 7th month at the latest, you can gradually begin to introduce solids in addition to their milk. The rise in nutritional needs is also reflected in the fact that many children get their first teeth between the 5th and 6th months.
