Abstract:
A male narrator gives advice over shots of a mother and infant at home. The new baby and mother should not have much company at first. The mother is warned that she may experience postpartum depression and is urged to get away from her home now and then. The preparation of bottles and formula is illustrated. The baby must be burped during feeding. Playtime, exercise, lack of eye contact and muscle coordination in newborns is discussed. Proper support of the baby when changing, dressing, and lifting is shown. The baby is prepared for a walk outdoors in a carriage. How to carry the baby and do something else at the same time is demonstrated. The importance of close, touching relationship between mother and baby, and of establishing eating and sleeping routines is emphasized. What the babysitter should know and do is outlined. Taking short trips with the baby is recommended. The 3 to 4 month old baby is shown kicking, looking at toys, smiling,playing, raising his head, and sitting with support. The doctor's recommendations on vitamin supplements and diet should be followed. Fathers should spend some time each day loving and playing with the baby. The baby in an infant seat is shown being fed baby food. Shots include: People gathered around the new baby; diapers being put in a washer; piles of baby laundry.
