When you become a mother for the first time, a lot of new concepts related to baby become an integral part of your smile.

Two of them are related to the baby's behavioral change that you will probably not have a hard time noticing and they are: a developmental leap and a growth leap.

Although these are two jumps, they differ from each other in the way they are expressed, in the times when they occur and also in the way you react to them.

To understand things in depth, we turned to

, an infant development specialist, family counselor and parent counselor: When does

occur?

At 10 days, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months.

How will you recognize her?

You will feel that the baby wants to suckle more from you or requires a larger dose in the bottle if he is fed formula.

Thus the baby, in fact, signals to you that he needs more food and energy.

How will you respond to it?

If you are breastfeeding, know that naturally, when the baby wants to breastfeed more - your milk composition will change accordingly.

If you are feeding your baby a formula - it is probably time to offer a larger dose in a bottle. When does

occur? At 5 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks - according to the estimated date. (He can arrive a little before or after week 40.)

How will you recognize her? The baby will cry more, cling to you more and nothing will really comfort him and suddenly, a few days later, you will recognize in him a new ability that was not there before. So what about later? The hardships he had? Updating his version, which included the development of new "features", required all his energies from him so it was not easy for him.

How will you respond to it?

First of all, you need to understand that your baby needs you now and contain his difficulty.

More hands are possible, even a carrier can make it easier for you and him.

He is learning new and amazing abilities and you should be there for him in these moments.

These are the three jumps in the first three months, there will be a total of 10 jumps in the first two months

The Jama app was established with the aim of addressing mothers of babies from birth to age three, and centralizing for them content, activities, tips from experts and videos that will accompany them throughout this challenging period.

All the content in the app "grows" together with the baby and is precisely adapted to its developmental stages, so that the mothers receive only what is relevant to them and interests them at any given moment.

The Jama app is the place for mothers in Israel to meet and get to know other mothers around them, and create new and exciting friendships in the fascinating journey.
