Senses of Newborns and Babies
Babies and newborns rely on their senses to navigate and make sense of the world as they grow and develop. From the moment they are born, their senses are actively engaged, shaping their experiences and learning in profound ways.
The integration of these senses plays a crucial role in babies' cognitive, emotional, and physical development. By engaging with their surroundings and caregivers through their senses, babies lay the groundwork for learning, communication, and healthy relationships throughout their lives.
Helping children learn through their senses encourages them to explore and engage with the world in a hands-on, interactive way. Children can better understand concepts and retain information, making learning more natural and enjoyable. This approach stimulates their curiosity and enhances cognitive development, improving focus, problem-solving, and creativity. When children use all their senses in learning, it also supports emotional regulation and builds confidence as they discover and connect with their environment on a deeper level.
What is a Newborn Care Specialist?
A Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) possesses specialized skills and advanced training to offer expert care for newborns and infants, along with guidance for parents. Typically, an NCS assists a family during the initial 12-16 weeks, occasionally extending to 6 months of the child's life. Services provided by an NCS may include consultations, overnight sleep training, daytime newborn care, or round-the-clock support. The primary aim is to establish a suitable daytime routine for your baby and family while assisting the baby in sleeping through the night by around 12 weeks old.
Benefits of having an NCS!
The key difference between a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) and other caregivers lies in the specific focus on the newborn and the tailored guidance they provide to new parents. An NCS offers expert care for the baby, often including feeding support, establishing healthy sleep habits, and providing advice on newborn development, all of which help parents feel more confident and supported.
Furthermore, an NCS often has specialized training, sometimes even a medical background, enabling them to offer a higher level of care. Unlike other caregivers who may work shorter shifts, an NCS typically provides continuous care, ensuring consistent and comprehensive support during the crucial early weeks of a baby's life. This continuous care is invaluable for families, as it helps establish routines and provides peace of mind knowing that their newborn is in expert hands.
