Dealing with newborns


The first week of a baby is a very important part of mother's and baby's life. I call this a settle down and accept week. As you have gone through a tough part of your life you need good time to recover yourself. Soon after delivery you will be in pain, need a lot of rest, not very mobile and will have a baby to deal with. This is the time you must accept all help offered. This is the time where more than anything you want a clam baby so that you can have enough time to rest and recover. At this very stage all that a baby needs is proper feed and good protection. 

Things to do to have clam and happy baby:
  • Feed baby at regular intervals (mostly every two hrs)
  • Try keeping the baby dry (nappy check)
  • Create a womb like environment (clam, not so bright, soft and warm coverings)
  • While you talk to your baby keep a soothing tone.
  • Do Cuddle your baby to ensure she satisfies her need for love and feels protected. (this helps in building a confident baby)
  • Consider sleeping while your baby sleeps, as most babies are restless during night time. (Save your energy)
  • Have good nutrition to ensure good health. (do not neglect your well-being)
