Hello Min! Your Baby us 3 weeks old,~baby center~

	Update your baby's birth date.

Hello, min!    Every baby has a unique temperament. Some are placid and agreeable, while others are more sensitive. One thing all babies have in common is that they communicate with you by crying. Sometime in the first month, you'll begin to hear another kind of sound. That's when most babies find their voices. When your baby is calm and alert, you may notice she says a little "ooh" or "aah" when she sees you or hears you approaching. >> Read more about this week Quick Clicks • Solve your breastfeeding problems • How to bathe your newborn • Should baby acne be treated? • When to call the doctor Overheard in your birth club "I had no idea that mothering a newborn would be so hard.

Consider Brazilian mom Francisca Ramos dos Santos, whose son weighed 17 pounds when he was born in 2005. Pacifiers   Q: Why do babies jerk and twitch?  A: Newborns have more synapses, or connections, in their nervous system than adults do, which makes them more sensitive to their environment, says Romi Webster, a pediatrician at Children's Hospital Boston. This is the main reason why your newborn startles and twitches so easily at a sudden movement or loud sound. Young babies also have increased tone in their flexor muscles – if you extend your baby's leg, for example, it will likely jerk back into a bent position. This heightened muscle tone decreases over the first nine months of life, at the same time that motor coordination improves, allowing your baby smoother movements as he grows. Keep an eye out for startling that continues much beyond 4 to 6 weeks, says Webster, or excessive twitching that can't be stopped by putting your hand on the shaking limb. In those cases, it's advisable to take your baby to a doctor to make sure there's not an issue needing medical attention. Sucking is a natural instinct. Some babies can be seen on an ultrasound sucking a thumb in utero. Many continue to have a strong need to suck after birth; even after a feeding, they are still eager to suck. Whether or not you use a pacifier is up to you. Some parents swear by them, finding them a handy way to calm a fussy baby and lull her to sleep. Others object to pacifiers on aesthetic grounds and prefer not to bother with having to pick them up and clean them. (You can guide your baby's hand to her mouth for self-soothing, or slide in your own clean pinkie. Keep those nails trimmed!) There's no medical reason not to offer your baby a pacifier. Some tips if you do: If you're breastfeeding, don't introduce a "passie" (or "binky") until your baby has learned how to latch onto your breast and your milk supply is constant, which should have happened by now. When a pacifier is introduced in the first week, a baby can have a harder time learning to breastfeed, since the mouth motions needed to suck a nipple and a pacifier are slightly different. Avoid "going to the passie" first. Feed, burp, change, rock, snuggle, and respond to your baby's basic needs when she fusses rather than popping a pacifier in her mouth at the first sign of distress. Your child will be less likely to become dependent on a pacifier as a toddler if you use it judiciously now. It should be used to help her relax, not as a substitute for feeding or cuddling. Don't worry that a pacifier will affect the way your child's teeth grow. Adult teeth don't come in until age 5 or 6, and by then, your baby's "binky" will be just a memory. Children who suck their thumbs, in comparison, may have a harder time breaking the habit by the time they lose their baby teeth, possibly leading to future dental troubles.
