Sometimes the new mother is a little unsure about herself at first. Unless your newborn is well-fed, well-loved, warm, and comfortable, he or she will feel no less than an expert. A few simple baby care guidelines to follow will help you relax and enjoy your new baby. Enjoying what parents can do the most valuable work for their children.

Your child is unique from the first day of life. As the mother of the baby, the person is most involved with their care, you get to know the baby best. Believe in yourself and don’t make good friends and relatives too seriously. When you feel the need for advice, call a pediatrician.

Your baby will do all the work for all the kids just because he is a kid. They can sometimes look like eyes. Sneezing is the only way a child can clear their nose. Hiccups are slight spasms of the baby’s abdominal muscles as they will not harm the baby and you do not need to try to move them. They will bother you more than the baby.

A cough is a way to clear your child’s throat. Crying is the way to tell your kids, “I’m wet, thirsty, I want to turn around, I’m too hot, I’m too cold, my stomach hurts, I’m upset or I’m hungry.” You’ll gradually learn what your baby means.

Almost all babies have a turbulent time. It can be regular, maybe last afternoon or evening – but hopefully not at night. This is not colic, but a general reaction for which there is still no explanation.

Also within the first few days or weeks, the baby’s day and night may merge. This is a temporary thing, which will resolve over time.

The first few days you and your baby are at home there should be very few visitors. Each new baby must adapt itself to the new surroundings, just as you should. For this reason, the first 24-48 hours at home should never be expected to be a complete “smooth boat”. If you adapt to new situations and have time to adjust to each other, both you and the child will be able to rent better. You should arrange for someone else in the family to take care of the household for several days after you go home. Your baby will have full-time responsibilities and most of the time your first time is especially needed.

 

Feeding time

Feeding is the most pleasant experience for your baby. The baby’s first feelings towards the mother arise from the feeding situation. During feeding the baby feels nutrition from his food and protection from the loving care of mother and father. Properly taken food helps the baby to be healthy and strong. Maternal love, given generously, begins to develop your child into a secure, stable personality.

You both should feel comfortable eating. Choose a chair that is comfortable for you. This will help you calm down and feel comfortable while feeding your baby. Your baby should be warm and dry so that the baby is comfortable as well. Hold your baby in your lap, the baby’s head should rise slightly and your elbows should rest. Whether breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, keep your newborn comfortable.

For breastfeeding

During the first 36 to 48 hours after your birth, a very small amount of yellowish fluid, known as colostrum, will come out of your breasts. However, the mammalian action that occurs during nursing will encourage increased milk production and a good supply of milk should be available on the third to fourth day. It doesn’t reach the maximum amount for 7 to 10 days, so be patient.

Place two fingers on each side of the selected breast and press slightly so that the nipple sticks out. You will then be able to keep the breast from pressing against your baby’s nose which could interfere with his breathing. Sometimes your child may need to encourage a TI nurse. Do not push him/her towards the breast. Instead, gently stroke the cheek near the breast. Usually, it will turn the baby’s head and look for the breast.

Your baby should be a nurse on both sides during each feeding. Your breasts should be changed in such a way that the baby may fall asleep during the first 24 hours of feeding every time you start feeding the baby and each feeding may not have a good nurse, but you should encourage the nurse for about 5 minutes for each of your babies. On the second day, the baby should nurse on each side for 7 to 10 minutes. In the following days, it can be extended to a total of 15 to 20 minutes on each side as tolerable but do not overdo it. After the milk supply is properly maintained, the baby will receive the maximum amount of milk on each side within 5 to 10 minutes. However, the baby can enjoy and suck extra and you can be nursing the baby for a maximum of 20 minutes on each side. You will find that the baby will be nursing every 1 1/2 to 3 hours during the first few weeks.

A couple of days after nursing, you may notice some pain in your nipples. Starting each feeding and changing the position of your baby during each feeding can reduce the pain by making sure you are best similac alternative. Either cradled in your arm, lying on your side or opposite the head of your hand and the leg on your side. The nipples should be allowed to air dry for ten to fifteen minutes after each feeding. After this drying, A&D ointment or lanolin can be gently applied to the nipples. It should not be washed or scrubbed before the next feeding. Avoid using soap on the breast as it is dry. You should make sure that your nursing bra is not lined with plastic, as this will keep the nipple wet and increase the pain. Change your nursing pads frequently when wet. Sometimes, the breasts will feel very soft and hard when the milk supply arrives. It can be relieved with Tylenol, warm or cold compresses and occasionally assisted by a hot shower before nursing.

Many mothers worry for the first few weeks that their baby is not getting enough breast milk, especially since babies cry and cry a lot during this period. You can be assured that your baby is eating enough to feed the baby well, you are watching him swallow, you see milk in his mouth, see wet diapers every three to four hours, and have several bowel movements a day.
