NEWBORN INFORMATION
Newborn babies do not come with a set of instructions. That is left up to you, the parent, to figure out during your new on-the-job training, 24/7 work week. And, newborns are completely dependent on you to figure it all out in that little sleep-deprived head of yours. It can be, at times, exhausting and relentless. However, in the end, it truly is the beginning of the most rewarding journey you will be fortunate to travel in life.
Whether you are a first time parent or you are an old pro, it is always helpful to have information on hand about basic newborn care, newborn health, newborn safety, and newborn growth and development. These resources will help you understand your newborn’s world a little better. The deeper the understanding you have, the better the care you can provide.
Basic NewBorn Care
The first few weeks with your newborn will be chaotic. Here are a few tips from experienced parents to help make life easier.
1.Prepare as much as you can ahead of time:
Take a class on infant care through your hospital. It will teach you the basics on holding, bathing, feeding, etc. It will make you feel much more comfortable in the first few weeks when your baby seems so fragile.
Stock Up on food and other necessaties.
2.Ask for — and accept — help:
Use your resources — Mom, Grandma, your hospital’s staff, the pediatrician, friends with kids. They love to answer questions, and remember that no question is dumb:D
Accept help whenever offered! If friends ask you what they can do, suggest they prepare meals for you or babysit your older children. Hire someone to clean; send the little ones to day camp. Nobody will accuse you of being selfish or a bad mother. It’s the only way to keep your sanity. (And it will allow you to spend time alone with your new bundle of joy.)
3.Accept visitors only when you’re ready:
"Get together with your husband and decide what your policy will be on visitors. Include some rules for relatives and friends who sometimes believe they have a right or a duty to spend every second of the day with you and the baby. Yes, you will need lots of help, but that doesn’t mean the end of your privacy, and not every visitor will be helpful.
4.Rest up:
try to nap while the baby did. Let the household chores wait. You need your sleep much more than the house needs a vacuuming!“Whatever else you do, make sure you get your rest. It will help you and the baby.”
5.Go outside:
Make sure you dress your baby appropriately and be sure to stay out of the sun. It’s a very relaxing way to share the outdoors with your baby. outing will make you less depressed.
6.Trust your gut:
The postpartum period can do crazy things to your mind. You second-guess yourself incessantly, but you’ll find that your instincts will pull you through. There’s no need to justify anything to anyone — you must concentrate on you and your little one.
7. Tell yourself: This, too, shall pass:
When you start out, you think, ‘I’m never going to be good at this,’ and then it becomes second nature. The child becomes an integral part of your life so that you couldn’t imagine a time when you weren’t a parent. So relax, enjoy the good and bad times, because your baby grows up so fast. Everything passes. Eventually, every child will sleep more (and so will you), and every child will be more independent. You’ll never forget the first time your baby smiles at you or the first time she looks at you and calls you ‘Mama’ or ‘Dada’ or the times she falls asleep on your chest. It makes all the other frustrating stuff pale in comparison:)
