Are you just welcoming a new born little one into the world? Here are some tips
for
taking great care of your new bundle of joy!
TIP #1 - If your baby is not properly latching on your nipple then
take yourself and your baby immediately
to a lactation consultant. These are staff members in hospitals who can show you
how to get the baby to latch onto your nipple properly. Don’t wait for your new
born baby
to "get it" as the baby can become fatigued; lose weight and even face
life-threatening conditions if they are not feeding properly .
TIP #2 – While nursing, most mothers find it most comfortable to put pillows
behind the small of your back and behind your shoulders if sitting. If sitting up in bed it helps to put pillows under your knees and one in your
lap, to help bring the baby up to the level of your chest.
TIP #3 – To raise a happy baby, consider carrying your new born with you in a sling wherever you go. Studies have shown that babies who
are constantly in contact with their mother up until the age of around two, can
be well adjusted and well socialized as they never have the stress of separation
anxiety. This is referred to as "attachment parenting".
TIP#4 – To keep your baby happy while you are preparing
dinner or cleaning, place your newborn in a swing. Some newer swings even
oscillate in a circular motion rather than the traditional back and forth
motion. This technique doesn't work for all new borns, so borrow one first to
try it out!
TIP #5 – If your new born baby seems anxious or distressed, try gently massaging all parts of your infant’s body including the toes,
fingers, bellies and ears. This can help relax and soothe your baby and it can
sometimes work to send your baby to sleep.
TIP #6 – Another technique you can try if your newborn is distressed is
to nurse your baby while sitting in the bathtub. The direct
contact with your naked skin as you lie in a warm bath can really help to calm
down you and your baby.
TIP #7
– This tip is for new Mom’s who are feeling burnt out. If possible,
take an invigorating walk with your baby every day. Walking is great to relieve feelings of depression or anxiety
and studies have shown
that walking briskly every day for a minimum of forty-five minutes can help
alleviate the symptoms of post partum depression.
