Mom sat down, then hugged the baby. If the baby is fidgety, mothers can use a soft, soft blanket to wrap the baby. Open the lid of the scent boxes and let your baby smell each box slowly and observe the baby's facial expression. Be careful not to put the box too close to the baby's nose because the baby may inhale the powder into the nose.
Your baby may open his eyes wide, startled or even laugh. With the scent of citrus (babies often don't like it), they may wince or look away. Try repeating this activity a few weeks, once a week, as your baby gets older and notice how the baby's response changes.
