Following are some tips for New-Born Care and preparing for being a mom:
1} Prepare
yourself way before birth
It is always important to prepare for your little one’s arrival ahead of
time. Be it clothes or breast feeding or formula feed, be prepared to get as
much as knowledge that will help you to get started immediately after birth. It
is also advised to talk to a lactation consultant about breast feeding and
attend neonatal care classes in your hospital. There you can learn the basics
of feeding, bathing, holding and so on. This will help you feel much more
comfortable in the first few weeks after birth.
2} Ask for Help
Although we all love to be independent, new mothers need advice and help.
No one can help you better than you mother, grandmother, nurses and your doctor
as they all have experience. Ask for help where required and be glad to accept
when help is offered. If your experienced friends suggest you what to do, then
there is no harm in taking their advice.
3} Take Adequate
Rest
Adequate rest for both the new mother and baby is very important. Do not
indulge in household chores after your delivery. Every time your baby sleeps,
it is advisable that the new mother takes a nap too. Sleep and rest is very
important for the body to recover from postpartum.
4} Accept
Visitors only when you are ready
Although it’s nice to accept help, it doesn’t mean you should end your
privacy. Soon after birth, a lot of relatives express their desires to meet the
new mom and baby. However, indulging in the new parent’s personal space can be
annoying. As a new mom, it is completely up to you to decide if you and your
spouse are ok to welcome relatives for a visit. It is completely ok if you
don’t want to entertain anyone for a few weeks.
5} Go outside
Babies are fussy and demanding the first few weeks. Staying indoors
trying to pacify them can be overwhelming. Going out in the fresh air with your
baby can do a lot of change to yours and your baby’s mood. It is sometimes
relaxing to stay outdoors with your baby.
The gynaecology
and paediatrics departments and their staff at Gunam Hospital do not mind walking an extra mile to provide the
best care to the new mother and her infant. For world-class facilities and best
gynaecological care, you must visit Gunam
Hospital. Their care carries a touch of love and warmth for each bundle of
joy that they deliver!
