Once your baby arrives, it’s completely natural to worry about their health. The slightest cough can strike fear into new parents. Given that your bundle of joy can’t yet speak, it can feel like a mystery. Don’t worry though, there are plenty of telltale signs that will give you a genuine insight into the wellbeing of your little one.
TEN HEALTH INDICATORS
Here are ten indicators that will let you know that your baby is in good health.
Sitting in silence
A certain amount of crying from your baby is not only normal, but healthy. In parallel with this is the fact that healthy babies will spend some time sitting quietly and paying attention each day. This whole world is new to them and they’re trying to take everything in and understand. Give your baby a chance to look around themselves each day and they’ll continue to develop well and be interested in what’s happening around them.
A good appetite
One of the biggest signs of a healthy baby is if they are regularly looking to be fed. On average, this will be every few hours. If your baby is regularly hungry, it points to a good appetite and digestion. Whether you’re breastfeeding or nursing from a bottle, pay close attention to your child’s sucking reflex. A strong reflex is a great sign of your baby’s health and development.
