When the blessed bundle finally arrives and you take them home
for the first time, life just can't get any better. However, if your
baby is unhappy believe me that this will make the entire home a very
unhappy place. These 5 helpful tips will ensure tranquility in the home
when dealing with a newborn;
- Sleep. Babies need lots of sleep and if they don't get it, you won't either. In the beginning there is really no schedule. They will sleep at anytime, so don't start carting them off to family and friends houses right away. Keep them at home so they can get use to you and your environment.
- Food. Babies need lots of food. If you are breastfeeding, patience is your guide. Just like sleep, they will be hungry at a moments notice and you need to be in tune to their needs. You can pump your own breast milk and have dad feed during those times you need to get some much needed sleep. Remember you and the entire family, no matter how small or big, are in this together. All should pitch in.
- Interaction. Babies need many forms of stimulus. Touching, singing, looking at objects are all important stimulants for your new born. Plus, this is a time when the family can all be involved in bonding time.
- Changing. A wet or you no what baby is an unhappy baby. You do not want diaper rash or other ailments to creep into the diaper, so check and change frequently. Again, dad or brother or sister can help in this category.
- Health. A babies health is of course important to all. However, the trick here is they cannot tell you if they are not feeling well (except when they cry). Be observant and to any subtle changes in them. Call your doctor or make a doctor visit if you think the baby is not well. Don't worry about being embarrassed if it's nothing, because if it is something the baby will be taken care of.
Also, the family need to continue to be taken care of
during this time. The baby is the most important, but don't forget
cuddling with other children or a needed kiss for your husband. In
addition, quite time for all involved is important. Cherish these new
beginning times because they don't last long.
Don't forget the pets during this time. Keep plenty of all
natural dog treats
