FIRST TIME EXPERIENCING MOTHERHOOD!
As in everything, there is a process of getting used to and experiencing in motherhood. Be sure to know some information and methods to minimize panic in the sweet but hectic days of being a first-time mother, and it will make your job easier.
In this article, we wanted to comfort those who are mothers for the first time and let you have the incredible joy of motherhood by explaining some of the methods you need to know 😊
You must handle your baby carefully: Since your baby is still in newborn status, his muscles are not developed. When you take it in your lap, you should hold it with one hand on your neck and be careful not to squeeze it. It would be correct to get support by running one hand around your neck while you take it off the bed and put it on.
Breastfeeding position should be appropriate: There is no mother who does not know the importance of breast milk, it is the most important nutrient for the development of your baby's immune system. The breast should be able to reach the milk easily while sucking. First, bring your baby closer to your breast and place the nipple in their mouth. In the meantime, support him by holding his neck and ensure that he is fed comfortably. Allow at least 10 minutes of sucking from both breasts.
Burp after feeding: It is important that the baby's gas comes out after feeding. The air it takes during suction can make it difficult to digest. In this case, if the inhaled air is not removed, it will cause discomfort. After each feeding, hold your baby in a sitting position. While holding your baby from the front with one hand, gently pat her back with the other. When you hear the slight burping sound, it means that he has passed the gas.
Lay your baby on his back: Newborns sleep short but often. Be sure to lay on your back with each lay. It is not the right behavior to cover your head and face while sleeping. Sleep with comfortable clothes and a blanket up to your chest.
Changing diapers: Change your baby's diaper at intervals that will not allow diaper rash. Before using the clean cloth, be sure to clean the skin and apply the necessary protective creams, because hygiene is extremely important in baby care.
Massage your baby: By massaging your baby's entire body, you will ensure quality sleep, and massage is also very effective in strengthening the immune system. It is okay to do the massage 2 or 3 times a day, which also helps your baby to be flexible. One note, don't start the massage before the umbilical cord falls off.
We wish you to raise your baby with joy and happiness…
