Top 5 useful tips for the first year of life, or the Most Important Briefing

- Hello, Chief. Have you been summoned?

- Yes, there is important news. It's your turn.

- ... My God, finally! Am I born into the family of Masha and Vladimir? As you promised!? 

- Yes.

- But... of course...A briefing? It's going to be too long after I'm born before I learn to talk like them. I don't know much...

- Don't worry, your Program for the beginning of your earthly life is standard. First of all, our Department of unobtrusive consultations will conduct preparatory work with your future family. Secondly, of course, you will be instructed. 

- When? 

- Yes, right now! So...

Cry a little!

Crying or even roaring is your basic communication tool. Using it, send signals such as "I'm uncomfortable", "I'm awake", "I want to go for a walk", "I pooped", "give me something to eat", "take this annoying aunt away", etc.

I woke up crying! Inconveniently placed - roar! If they fit, they will help.  Remember, you should sleep sweetly and for a long time in the first months. Some of you even slept for 20 hours a day! Therefore, take good control of the place where you will be laid. 

By the way, there is a nuance… You will be born in early June, just as summer begins. And your future mom and dad like to walk and travel a lot. In fact, if you're interested, they met in the park, walking in the rain and being the only passers-by there. Romantic, right?... But that's not the point now. Be prepared: you will have to sleep a lot while walking. 

On the one hand, this is a good thing - the benefits of such sleep are obviously greater than sleeping in a closed, poorly ventilated room. On the other hand, it places serious demands on the wheelchair in which you will walk. It should be both hardy and safe, and protect you from any vagaries of nature. 

By the way, there is every reason to believe that you will be lucky: your future mom and dad were at the children's store just yesterday and were looking at the goods. They liked the universal stroller Carrello Aurora 2 in 1. Here, I have a transcript of their conversation. Mom appreciated the “elegance and rigor of the design,” dad appreciated the “complete set with the thing where the child will sit (he's talking about the walking block), big wheels and suitable for winter."

For my part, I would like to add: if you make sure that they chose this particular stroller, be calm about your back: the smooth and solid base of the cradle, along with a soft mattress, will allow your musculoskeletal system to develop correctly and safely.  

Travel safely!

Speaking of security. I have already mentioned that you and your family will most likely travel a lot. According to our information, your dad has already booked a hotel room in Prague for a young couple with a baby in October. And you will most likely go there by car.

Therefore, there are several important characteristics of the car seat in which you will be taken there. If you notice a discrepancy, you know what to do (see the previous rule).

So, an important function of the chair for children under one year old is that it should be fixed so that the child is in the car headfirst as he moves. In other words, he was driving backwards. This will save him from damage to the cervical vertebrae if a sudden deceleration occurs. By the way, this type of attachment is mandatory in a number of European countries, I hope your dad is aware.

The shape of the seat back is equally important. Or it would be more correct to say - “lying down”)). After all, you won't be able to sit, and the requirements for the correct anatomical basis of a car seat are high. It should follow the anatomical shape of the child's back, be soft, have supports and fasteners. 

Important: even in the most comfortable car seat, a child under one year old can stay continuously for no more than 4 hours. After that, you need to change the position. The best thing is when someone picks up a child... 

In our recommendation lists, the car seat Carrello Asteroid is in the first place. It has a reliable base, strong five-point straps, the ability to rotate the seat on the base - and therefore fasten it in the correct position, as well as smart technology for increasing the backrest - which makes the car seat suitable for use up to the age of 12. 

Explore the world while sitting!

...Listen, so what if you can't see anything from the car window from this car seat? Don't worry, you've got your whole life ahead of you! I told you: you need to sleep a lot, grow and gain strength. 

Everything will change when your body learns to sit. A very important stage! Then your dad will remember how good it is that they bought a stroller complete with a walking unit, mom will start thinking about a new high chair, and you will finally be able to contemplate the world around you!

Yes, it won't be for long at first, so when walking in a wheelchair, the backrest will be lowered to a horizontal position, and you will fall asleep to a soft, smooth rocking. But if you remember my words, the quality of walking will change dramatically!

It will become much more interesting. Therefore, do not forget to demand to walk (as you know ;) in any weather, Before that time, you will most likely master sign language and use your pens to indicate which tree, animal or quality you are interested in. 

It is important that at the same time you can lean back on the back of the stroller at any time - to relax the muscles of your back that have not yet strengthened. 

By the way, all these functions - the lowering backrest, and the soft wheels that ensure smooth, silent running, and protection from the sun, wind and rain - are all present in the Carrello Aurora 2-in-1 stroller already mentioned today. namely, its walking unit. 

You can also go on a long journey with such a stroller.: It folds up easily, takes up little space, and is convenient to carry and take with you.

Eat while playing!

Around the same “sedentary” period, another important innovation awaits you: complementary foods. For the first six months, only your mother's breast will feed you, and “complementary foods” are when porridges, purees and other “adult” treats appear on the menu.
What to eat is not your concern, your mom and dad are modern and well-read, they will figure it out. But that's HOW it is - let me explain.

First, demand conditions. Sometimes parents feed a child by sitting on their arms and wrapping their arms around him, so that he does not wave his hands and does not interfere with bringing a spoon. This is not good! You can safely refuse to eat!

Secondly, eat while playing. You will definitely have your favorite toys - use them during meals whenever you want. To be honest, focusing on the very process of absorbing monotonous food that you don't even need to chew is still “fun.” Therefore, an exciting game with something rattlingly bright and interesting is most welcome.

The ideal setting for a meal is a specially designed high chair.  That's what it's called - a high chair. It is convenient for parents, and interesting for the child. 

Such a high chair most often has a large tabletop, which serves as both a game table and a stand for a container with food. There are also safety belts - even the most nimble kid will not fall off it. In addition, the high chair is lightweight and maneuverable - it can be placed anywhere at home and even taken with you to visit and go out into nature.

A special chic chair with motion sickness mode. For example, like the Cascata high chair from Carrello. You don't understand it yet, but it's great to sleep and eat well.) And the high chair will allow you to fall asleep instantly, and even to your favorite sounds - a song, music, birdsong or something else - for this, the Kaskata has a separate soundbar. 

Moreover, this chair is so smart that it “knows how” calculate when you start to wake up and turn on the motion sickness function. So you'll sleep longer, and your parents will be cheerful and rested. So let's hope you get Cascata.

Hide from everyone!

As strange as it may sound to you right now, your first friends won't be your parents at all...toys. They are more obedient, there are more of them, they are all different, they fit in your hand and are with you all the time))

I am glad to inform you that your future parents have already made an important strategic acquisition - they have bought a playpen. It's such a big bright box.  They say: we will put toys there. Although. If we talk about strategy, something else is more important: this arena will soon become your first private “home”. 

And in this regard, there is an important instruction: do not resist when they put you in this “box”. Yes, you may be bored or even scared there at first. But then you'll realize the fun of what people call “your own space.” No one tells you what to do. There are a lot of things around you that you know exactly what to do with. It will be quiet, cozy and cool. You can sleep if you want. 

Ah! I didn't tell you which playpen was waiting for you. This Carrello Grande is spacious, stable, safe, without the slightest internal protrusions and corners. 

A spacious playground where you will be completely safe. And with a soft mattress on which there are educational drawings.

Well, and a bonus: it is in this arena that you are most likely to learn to stand up: the kit includes special trailer rings, grasping which and trying to look over the edge of the arena, children, as a rule, switch to “walking straight".

Have you learned that? At the end of our briefing, just a few more words. Sorry, maybe a little lyrical, but nevertheless very, very important. Maybe the most important ones for your future life.

The world that awaits you is full of bright colors, gentle sounds and many pleasant discoveries. And if they prepare for a meeting with you responsibly and with great love, you will feel these pleasant moments from the first second. Sometimes a lot of mundane and routine parental chores take away a newly born man's sense of comfort and security. But when reliable helpers come to the aid of a newly-made mom and dad, the child is simply doomed to a happy, cloudless childhood. 

Have a great life, baby!
