Newborn so hard to understand, so my mother a million fears for the lives and health of the crumbs. There are the most common fears and misconceptions of young parents who are forced to worry for no reason - if everything is OK with the baby.
When a child is born, everything changed in the life of his parents. The first time that hard to get used to a little "alien", his parents a thousand questions and doubts. We have gathered the most important horror and confusion of young mothers
With a child that something is wrong ...
The newborn baby was very difficult way of the birth, so the first few days he had to adapt to this world, a new daily routine and new sensations. Very soon you will learn to understand what he wants your pipsqueak - eat, sleep or learn about the world. He lives on his schedule, and very soon you will learn to understand it. In the meantime, you know, a newborn must have upon request, to sleep up to 21 hours a day, often write and cocoa, and, of course, to cry - this is the only way to tell the kid to adults about their "want".
The child has diarrhea, it is a terrible disease ...
It `s naturally. A child who is only breastfed stools can only be liquid. Will be harder to poop when grudnichok become acquainted with the first meal. Nothing to worry about if there is no child in the stool mucus and greenery. In addition, in the first days after the birth of the baby body clears out the meconium - the so-called original feces, which resembles a thick sticky mass of dark color. It must be so, rejoice, the body is cleaned baby!
If you do not decant, there will be milk in the breast
Misled many mothers. The old settings that gave the Soviet time women in labor in all hospitals - every time you need to express your breast after feeding to the last drop! This is an outdated stereotype that should be left in the past.
Nature is very wise and all thought in the female body - how to organize so that the milk in the breast was just as much as the baby needs. The main rule of feeding - demand creates supply. The first days after the birth of the baby in breast milk is surging, the first time it can be a lot - it stands "in reserve" to the baby was missing. Then, each day, depending on how much the baby will suck milk from the breast, and so will it be developed, as they say, "according to his needs." A pumping "cheating" the body and each time the milk will be produced in the chest more than you need your child will have to again express - a vicious circle. That there was no stagnation of milk in the breast need to organize breastfeeding.
The more I eat, the more milk in the breast comes
From the earliest years, mother and grandmother taught - you are a nursing mother should eat for two. However, if such plants is growing amount of milk in the breast, and the excess mother weight, which corrodes up tremendous sizes, and then not know how to lose weight... When breastfeeding is important is not the amount of food eaten, and its quality! It is not necessary every time he sat down at the table, forcibly shoving a first, second and compote. Eat as you want and stop when you get saturation. The main thing is that the menu breastfeeding moms had a balanced, varied and rewarding. To increase lactation and an important part of good attachment to the breast.
In breast milk enough
Very rarely it happens when a woman's body is not able to produce milk in the required amount for a successful breastfeeding. Basically - it's winding fear in his own mind of young mothers. The problem with the insufficient amount of milk in the breast can be only in the first days after birth, when the first chest only colostrum - a harbinger of milk. But this is fixable, more often put the baby to the breast and the right to organize breastfeeding (upon request - and a child and mother), things quickly improve.
The child is malnourished
Many mothers worry that the baby is hungry, he is malnourished. And this, too, is almost always - confusing and unnecessary, unfounded anxiety. If the kid is active, walks on the little no less than 10 times a day, not hysteria, good eats, sleeps and gaining weight (which can be found in the table of growth and weight babies), and the reason to worry - no.
I'm a bad mother ...
This assertion is born in the mind of every mother in the first days after birth. It is said hormones in a woman's body and the stress of experienced labor. After all, if the baby cries all the time, not sleeping, but Mom nerves to the limit, so easy to blame yourself... Take it easy, take place only a short time after birth, baby adapting to the new world, you have to - his regime, learn to understand his needs (he wants to eat, it's wet, he wants to handle, etc...), and all necessary get better!
It is necessary to dopaivat baby water
Again - the power and wisdom of nature. Mom's milk is "arranged" so that gives the child the opportunity and drink, and eat. If dopaivat grudnichka water, there will be a false sense of satiety, the baby will be less to suck milk from the breast, and not load up. After the newborn ventricle so small. Vodicka need kiddies who are bottle-fed, and then - in small doses, and babies who began receiving the first lures.
Everything must be sterile
Of course, you can not argue with the fact that it is necessary to monitor the purity: the child must be clean, and the clothes and the house. But the purity should be without fanaticism. Silly, several times a day to wash the floors, vydraivat with all antibacterial agents, boil clothes and baby diapers... We live in a world of microbes, the body of the child must adapt to it, to develop their own immunity. In addition, various household cleaning products for the home can cause the development of allergic reactions in the baby. And besides, it is much better when the baby sleeps, instead of once again vydraivat house, lie down to rest beside him. Happy rested mom is much more important than perfect cleanliness around.
If worn on the hands, the baby will get used and razbaluetsya
Baby it is important to your attention, warmth and care. Agree, it is better to maintain a healthy mind and your child than to test the patience, when a child is crying alone in a crib. In addition, the tactile sensation is very important for the health and emotional state of the newborn. Parental love does not happen a lot, even if your baby is bathed in it, do not hesitate to show their affection, often take the kid to handle, hug, kiss, say sweet words - it all understand! What is wrong if the baby will get used to love and reverent attitude to childhood?
Co-sleeping is harmful and dangerous
With this statement does not agree to all the parents who practice co-sleeping with the baby, because he has a lot of advantages. And the fact that my mother could "crush" the child during sleep, how many scare just nonsense and horror stories of the ignorant. With childbirth in women appears very serious maternal instinct, a young mother hears and feels every rustle of your crumbs.
Breastfeeding prevents pregnancy
Misconception believed by many parents. That is why it is often possible to meet young mothers, walking with small children, the same age - become pregnant while nursing her first child, believing in the fairy tale that breastfeeding - a natural contraception. Female body, indeed, during lactation produces the hormone prolactin, which blocks ovulation, but it does not protect 100% of a new pregnancy, especially if the mother feeds infrequently and not regularly.
