Crisis weeks - Wonder Weeks in babies - are periods of extreme irritability, grime and changes in the baby's psychology, causing the baby to hold on to the mother, cry more, and ask for breastfeeding all day. The science that explains why babies experience weeks of crisis are: Maybe these weeks mark a change in their natural development, making them anxious and looking for safety, comfortable.
This is one of the times when most mothers worry because they do not know how to deal with changes in their baby properly.
Wonder Weeks in babies can make it harder for mothers to care for their babies
Dr. Frans Plooij - one of the leading experts in young brain development has initiated the concept of "Crisis Week". On average, in the first 20 months of life, babies will experience a crisis week at around 5, 8, 12,19, 26, 37, 46, 55, 64 and 75.
Below is the Wonder Week table and the matching week on child development. However, this table may vary depending on your child.
Wonder Week 1: Week 5 - When kids learn their feelings
Wonder Week 2: Week 8 - When they recognize patterns.
Wonder Week 3: Week 12 - When they experience a smooth transition world
Wonder Week 4: Week 19 - When your child experiences events
Wonder Week 5: Week 26 - When they learn about relationships
Wonder Week 6: Week 37 - When they start sorting things out
Wonder Week 7: Week 46 - When they learn about submission order and sequence
Wonder Week 8: Week 55 - When children learn about the program, the sequence of events occurs
Wonder Week 9: Week 64 - When children know the first principle
Wonder Week 10: Week 75 - When young begin to understand the system.
Crisis weeks 4, 6, and 10 are usually the longest and occur at the same time as your baby's motor development (which often happens during sleep, which can cause discomfort).
Manifestation during the week of Wonder Weeks in children
Cry more, or get angry.
Difficulty sleeping, sleeping less, sleep not as deep as usual, getting up and crying. Sleep later, wake up earlier.
With breastfed babies, they sometimes ask for money (but actually not because of hunger) constantly, even if it's only a little bit and especially when they are angry, they need to pay for money.
Anorexic.
Flustered mood: being naturally happy or otherwise.
Cling to parents not to leave.
Have unusual tantrums (eg, playing very well, suddenly throwing all the toys away and screaming).
Jealous when mom / dad cares about others other than the baby.
More timid with strangers.
Childhood habits no longer naturally come back (for example, crawling back if she can walk or asking her to hold a bottle to feed herself even though she can handle it herself).
When your baby enters a crisis week , he or she will probably be fussy and cry, making you tired. Therefore, you should prepare yourself to be ready to overcome these memorable milestones with your baby. Remember, this is not your child's fault, it is just a stage that your child needs to overcome!
