If you are a mum who travels on a business trip and is not with your baby often, you may experience problems such as frequent fussing, difficulty calming, or worse, the baby and your growing distance. However, as communication devices are becoming more and more popular, communication with children is also much easier. Here are 5 ways to help you keep in touch with your baby when away from home.
Call. According to a study by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, girls who are talked to their mothers over the phone in a depressed state become calmer as quickly as they are cuddled and comforted by their mothers. When the baby hears the mother's familiar voice, the level of cortisol (which is produced from the adrenal glands when stressed), stress hormone is reduced and stimulates the baby's body to produce the hormone oxytocin. The effect helps to soothe the baby, makes the baby more comfortable.
Calling will help reduce fussiness when the mother is away from home
Use a recording. If you are too busy, can not listen to the phone often, you can record your voice like reading a book, a favorite song or words of love and concern. to you. The goal is for your baby to hear your voice and feel more secure when you're away from home.
Video chat. Take some time for your child to see their face through yahoo chat, skype, facebook, facetime ... to increase their contact both visually and hearing (however, you should note that this option can scare too young children). Or have a few videos of you ready at home, so that when your baby asks "Mom", he will be immediately responded to.
Try to show your baby the picture of the mother often
Connect with your baby through other senses. You give your baby a few soft objects that "smell" of you to make the baby feel that she is still with you, such as blankets, sweaters, shawls. Babies will need them when they go to sleep, while holding them, the familiar "smell" of the mother will help children feel comfortable and easier to sleep.
Sometimes just the things that have "smell" of the baby's mother are less uncomfortable when the mother is not around.
Relax. The bond between mother and baby is so strong that just speaking softly and affectionately like telling your baby a story or something normal is enough to calm the baby again.
