Your Baby's First Year
A Baby Calendar - Week 1-2
Congratulations!
Week 1-2
The first two weeks after a baby’s birth are generally very uneventful in terms of interaction between baby, parents and siblings. Your new baby will spend much of his time sleeping during these weeks, often causing you to have to wake him up to feed him, change his diapers, etc. You will find yourself wondering when you can play with your baby. Use the time when you are feeding and changing your baby as cuddle time, and time to get to know each other and a time to talk to your baby.
At this point your baby is only “awake” 10% of the time. This stage is referred to as “quiet alert” because your baby is often just looking around quietly. Use this time for extra bonding.
Your baby will “startle” at loud noises like the phone ringing, a plate dropping, or the vacuum cleaner starting up. However, this won’t wake up your baby and your baby will begin to tune it out. You don’t have to worry about too much noise around your baby, as your baby won’t be bothered by it.
What Your Baby Might Be Doing
During the first two weeks of life, your baby won’t be doing much but sleeping. In the few minutes of awake time and alertness, you might notice that your baby seems to be able to focus on your face a bit more than before. You might also notice that your baby is trying to life his head more frequently during tummy time, actually getting it off the floor for several seconds at a time. If your baby isn’t quite accomplishing these tasks yet, by the end of the first month he should be!
Your Baby’s Umbilical Cord
During the first two weeks one of your jobs when changing your baby’s diaper will be taking care of his umbilical cord. Some doctors suggest patting it dry, others suggest using alcohol swabs to keep it dry and germ free. As you keep it clean, your will notice the umbilical cord starting to dry up, shrink and fall off. While it looks bad, and might smell bad, it is a natural process. Once it falls off, there might be a tiny spot of bloody puss, which will probably heal on its’ own within a couple of days.
This time last year you weren't even pregnant yet! Can you believe it? Time flies to fast! Be sure you start chronicling these memories now by creating your free baby journal today!
Your Baby’s Stool
The first few stools’ your baby has will likely be black in color. These stools are referred to as meconium. The color of and consistency of your babies stool will change to reflect the way you have chosen to nourish your baby. If you are breastfeeding your baby his stools are likely to be yellowish in color, and very loose. If you are giving your baby formula, the color can be from yellowish, to brown, and possibly much firmer, making it seem like your baby is constipated when he is attempting to have a bowel movement. The frequency of a baby’s bowel movement varies from a few times a week, to once a day, or even every diaper change.
Jaundice
You may notice some yellowing of the skin during the first couple of weeks after birth. This is called jaundice and is more common in breastfeed babies than in formula fed babies. If your baby looks too yellow to you, take him to the doctor who will suggest treatments to help clear up the jaundice
What You Might Be Concerned About
Does your baby spit up? Some spit up is normal when you burp your baby. Some babies will spit up and it will seem to be more than “normal” to you. If your baby is spitting up a large consistency at a time, projectile, or at times other than when you burp him, it might be a sign of reflux. If you think your baby is spitting up more than what is normal, write it down, take it to your doctor, and get a professional opinion on the situation and what you should do about it.
Don't forget these experiences! Document them with your very own Free Online Baby Diary! Makes a great keepsake that you can share with friends and family around the world and print for your baby book! Tons more great (and free!) stuff for expectant parents too!
*Each child is different. Your baby may not progress the same as the information found here. The information here is based on the national average. It is not meant to be a replacement for any advice your may recieve from your doctor. If you have any concerns about your baby, we advise you to contact your doctor.
