After giving birth to the first baby, a woman usually experiences a change of sleep because she has to take care of the baby for the first time. It feels very excited. Worrying can not afford, worry if there is something wrong in how to care for the baby, until the fear of things that are not desired. Therefore, many new moms usually use the services of a baby sitter to help. In fact, the way how to care for newborn baby is not difficult, as long as you know how.
What needs to be prepared to care for newborn baby?
Basically, a newborn baby early in life will only do three things; eat, sleep, pup and repeat. If sleepy baby ask for sleep, if thirsty baby ask for breastfeeding, if full stomach baby ask for pee and pup, keep repeating like that. Of course, with interspersed crying and belching.
Bathing Baby
How to Bathe the baby is not difficult, you know. At first I was also very afraid to bathe the baby. However, I have a trick that is very easy to do. In principle, use clean water with a temperature that is preferred Little, that is lukewarm, in a bucket. The used bucket should be special for the baby.
Many moms bathed her baby in the bucket. However, I prefer to use baby bather because it is more practical and very easy. Place the baby on baby bather and then wipe with a cleaning cloth. The parts to be cleaned are, ears, nose, genitals, and skin folds such as neck, elbow, and groin, and head.
Use a baby soap head to toe wash to be practical. After all get used to, wash a little with warm water. After all the rest of the soap is gone, put the baby into the bucket. While soaking, baby can play with Mother. Babies would love to soak in warm water while Mother washed and massage her body lightly.
Mothers must remember, bathing should be done when the baby is awake. Do not bathe the baby while you are sleeping. After that, immediately dry the Small with a soft towel. Make sure all the skin folds are dry so as not to grow mold and smell bad.
Breastfeeding
Well, breastfeeding is often a scourge for new moms because of the many factors that affect the success of the breastfeeding process. According to WHO recommendation, Baby should get exclusive breastfeeding until the age of 6 months. Tips from me:
When pregnant, read as many ASI theories as possible. Do not forget to diligently clean the breasts during pregnancy. This is so that the aerolas where the milk is out are not clogged with fats or dirt. Just clean it with soft cotton when Mam shower.
There are at least two hormones that play a role in breastfeeding, namely prolactin to produce milk and oxytocin to remove breast milk from the breast. In order for a good milk production, Mam feeding intake should also be nutritious and the amount is met. So try not to hold back to eat fast. Eat appropriately. Relax, because later the food is converted to breast milk, so do not need to fear fat.
After the production of milk is okay, so the exit is also okay, Mam should be relaxed and calm. Remember yes Mam, when the newborn Little is still carrying food reserves from the womb. So, if Mam's milk does not go straight out, do not panic and do not rush to give food other than breast milk. Keep attaching your baby to her breast at least every two hours or whenever she wishes.
After the baby is full, props by supporting the standing position so that his chin is on the shoulder of Mother. Sense the baby's body and pat lightly back her until the air out of her mouth, marked by the sound of burp. This is to prevent babies bloated.
Pup and Pee
When the new baby is born, the job is just pup and pee. This is an indicator of breastfeeding adequacy. In the first days, the baby will poop and peed once a day. The frequency will increase with the amount of breastmilk the baby drinks.
Early pup, the color of the feces is black. It's called meconic, so do not be afraid. Furthermore, the little feces will be textured soft or in the form of grains resembling grains.
Practical way to clean baby waste:
Provide a round cotton in the room. Also provide clean water in containers that are not easily spilled. This is so Mam does not need to go back and forth to the bathroom.
When the baby pup, wet cotton round with clean water, wipe the dirt from the genitals to the rectum (do not vice versa). Cotton that has been dirty should not be dyed back into the water, but throw away and replace the cotton 2-3 times so that the baby's feces clean and the water provided is also kept clean. Use a soft diaper and change as often as possible.
