The Baby Controls: For many weeks after birth, the baby controls his environment, to some extent, by crying. By this means he summons adults to minister to his needs. Although the baby's cries do not clearly indicate his specific feel¬ings and needs, the mother, by observing the situation in the light of her previous experience, can usually distinguish between rage or pain and hunger. She will not attempt to feed him every time he whimpers or anxiously respond to every indication of discomfort. He may even get satis¬faction from a certain kind and amount of crying.
However, the baby's continued crying is likely to make the mother appear altogether around the fourth month as the hand movements be¬come better co-ordinated.
In summary, the baby is more likely to get the food he needs if the adult fulfills the following conditions:
Gives him affection as well as food, relaxes and enjoys the baby while she is feeding him.
Watches the baby rather than the clock. Although a three-hour, and later a four-hour, schedule of feedings is satisfactory for many babies, the schedule should be changed if it does not seem to fit a particular baby. If he wakes up at 4 A.M. it is best to feed him then, before he cries hard and long, and gradually to let him work out a Flexible schedule that seems best for him and not too hard on the rest of th " family.See Also That The Baby Is Happy:Chances are that they have been fortunate in being fed when they were hungry, held when they might otherwise have felt a vague or intense sense of loneliness, mothered by a person who was herself secure and relaxed. These happy babies evoke happy responses from the persons in their environment. A circular response is set in motion: The baby's smile calls forth smiles and tenderness on the part of the mother; she may even handle him more skillfully than she would otherwise do. The baby who has not been so fortunate in his heredity and first ex¬periences needs more than the average amount of affection.
The most important remedy is the provision of a satisfying life situ¬ation—to see to it that the baby is happy and secure; that he has enough of the right kind of food to meet his nutritional needs; that he has playthings that use his hands in interesting ways; and that the adult does not get excited when the baby puts his thumb or fingers in the mouth.
On The Other Hand See Climbing Baby:To be sure, many objects in the environment are not removable. Bureau drawers must be used by adults. Bookcases cannot be emptied. Matches are difficult to keep out of the climbing baby's reach. However, to most of these hazards the baby can eventually learn to respond in a satisfactory way. If he wants to pull everything out of his mother's bureau drawer, he can be given a drawer or basket full of scraps of material and various objects, and told: "This is baby's. He can take everything out of this. This [the bureau drawer] is mother's. Baby must not open this." If he is noisy while his grandfather is taking a nap, he should be told to run on tiptoe and speak in a low voice. Later, when there is no occasion to be quiet, he should be told, "Grandpa isn't sleeping now. Now you may run and shout." In order to avoid harm from autos and other sources of danger, the child must learn that an out-and-out command must be obeyed instantly. These are situations where '-nmediate obedience is imperative.
There are several types of climber:
• Noisette roses: an old group, with small, rosette-type flowers. They need a warm, frost-free position.
• Climbing Tea roses: these are similar to the Noisettes, but with more of a Hybrid Tea appearance.
• Climbing Hybrid Teas: these have a Hybrid Tea nature and are usually sports (natural mutations) of Hybrid Teas.
• Climbing Bourbons: these are
characterized by their old rose-
type flowers. Like most other
climbers, they flower
repeatedly. -
• Modern climbers: this is a relatively new grouping. They are repeat-flowering, with flowers resembling those of Hybrid Teas. |
