We all have struggles in life, and infants are no exception. Shell’s Early Learning Center is an infant daycare and preschool center that has many locations in Maryland and Delaware. Below, we’ll take a look at a few of the common struggles that infants have. Get in touch with us for a tour or for enrollment information today!
Being Sick
Since this is the first time babies are exposed to the world, they can be sick quite frequently. While this is annoying for both parents and infants, it’s part of building a healthy immune system, so that in the future, they will become less sick.
Diaper Rash
Babies are used to being inside the womb in a water environment where everything was cushy. Babies wear diapers 24 hours a day, so their skin is constantly rubbed by its texture. This can cause diaper rashes and other skin problems as their skin adapts.
Colic
Colic is a condition where your baby cries non-stop for no apparent reason. Doctors are unsure what causes colic, which makes it extremely hard to treat. This begins when an infant is very young (around two weeks of age) and can persist till around three months of age.
Vomiting
Vomiting in babies is actually quite common, which is where burping babies helps them to get rid of excess air they intake while feeding. However, spit up and vomit are two things that your baby can do as its body adjusts to eating.
