When you bath baby in the first time,
you make the whole family worry because they think that you can hurt baby.
Before the daughter is given born, Mary
thinks that she knows all of the things to take care of baby in the first week
after giving birth. At that time, Mary imagined about her baby’s small and
beautiful cradle, sounds of toys hung above cradle and lovely face of her baby.
But in reality, is everything simple?
Surely, most mothers want to do all of the
necessary things for the day babies are born. They can be told about experience
from their grandmothers, mothers or they can find out information through
different channels about how to care of newborn babies.
The process of practicing really takes
place when baby is born and you become a mother. Raising babies with mother’s
milk, comforting babies when they cry, being of sound mind after a sleepless night
to take care of children make a lot of mothers feel confused and are in
stressed state after giving birth.
1. I am not allowed to sleep
After giving birth, many mothers confide
their wish; however, it isn’t small. They want to have a good sleep regardless
of a night.
Taking care of newborn babies isn’t simple.
Some mothers used to thing that “No problem, it is a little baby”. But in
reality, a little baby can make adults whirl.
In some first months, newborn babies sleep
20 hours/day, but mothers cannot always sleep like them. Some mothers give
birth normally or have caesarean, but they are slashed. As a result, pain will
make them have difficulty in sleeping.
Moreover, if family doesn’t have relative
to take care of and help pregnant women after giving birth, this is a luxurious
thing.
Advice
Don’t create a lot or work for yourselves.

You should ask your husband or relatives to
arrange work to look after so that you will feel secure in sleeping.
2. Newborn babies are very sensitive
After leaving mother’s warm amnion and
womb, baby will become an independent individual. It takes more time for babies
to get acquainted with new environment than their parents think.
That is the reason that makes babies cry
continuously. When babies cry a lot, you should comfort, swing, tie diaper
again let them suck mother’s fingers smoothly.
You shouldn’t worry that these activities
can make babies spoilt. It only makes unsafe feelings of babies.

and massaging for baby every day will help mother and baby connect love string.
3. Raise babies with mother’s milk
A woman shares: “In the first time of
giving birth, everything seems to be tough to me. I don’t know how to hold and
give my child the breast with the correct way. My perineal layer is sutured a
lot, so I feel pain. In addition, some days after I come out of hospital, my
milk is obstructed, so I feel unhappy”.
Indeed, many mothers question about raising
children with mother’s milk. Some women consider it as obvious thing because it
is vocation of mothers, so they don’t have to study. But in reality, not all of
the things are simple like that.
Women should attend antenatal classes or
study experience to give baby the breast.

technology so as to avoid the case that babies can be choked by milk. In
addition, it can help babies suck fully and protects mother’s breast not be sag
in a long time.

won’t have experience in giving babies the breast.

After giving birth, women need to have a
suitable diet to restore health and provide a plentiful amount of milk to give
baby the breast. In some first days, newborn babies don’t have demand of
sucking milk a lot because their stomach is very small.
After
giving birth, women need to have a suitable diet to restore health and provide
a plentiful amount of milk to give baby the breast.
At this time, babies don’t need a lot of
foods, so mothers don’t need to provide with a lot of foods. Eating too many
substances and meals will affect body. Moreover, the ability of obstructed milk
can take place because there is too much milk and babies don’t eat too much.
Mothers often squeeze, get rid of milk and massage breast regularly at this
time.
This thing doesn’t mean that women have to
go on a diet or eat less to keep figure. These are antiscientific methods. The
best way is that mothers should eat due to demand of body and eat many meals in
a day. Mothers need to eat with enough nutrients and ensure hygiene.

have weak health and their eating and drinking become difficult. They don’t
want to eat and even eat less. These things can affect quality of milk for
babies to suck. Although you are tired, you should eat with correct meals and
eat with a suitable amount of food.

should also control diet. If having difficulty in eating and drinking, mothers
can apply any way to feel comfortable and have delicious meal. For example,
eating at bed, eating and watching TV at the same time…
5. Encourage husband to attend
Not all husbands know how to take care of
their wives in pregnancy and hold babies in the first time. A woman says: “My
husband is waiting for holding our child. He always considers that baby is too
small to his arms, he fears that we can make baby feel pain and fall”.
After giving birth, women’s body is often
sensitive and tired quickly. If your husband doesn’t share housework and taking
care of your child, you will feel self-pity, furious and inhibit.

attendance in process of taking care of wife that has just given birth has big
effect to psychology, health of mother and child.

divide work of him specifically. To do this thing, wives must have psychology
