Also EVERY SINGLE MOM ON PLANET has felt at one point or another they're losing it or messing up their kid. Just know neither of those are true. Babies cry, and that's OK. It's also TOTALLY OK to put babe in safe place (crib, strapped in bouncer, bassinet) , and shower, eat, poop. Even of they wake and cry, they'll be fine a few mins.

Turns out we both were so mentally drained that we had to spell out what we needed from each other because our daughter was taking all energy. In the end he really stepped up!

This is immensely useful

Here's one, feeding on demand doesn't mean feed everytime they cry. Try a cuddle, check diaper, see if they're too hot. If they go back to sleep after then they didn't need feeding. If they are crying out of hunger they won't stop and go back to sleep. Also, if its your first one, when they wake up, feed them, change diaper, cuddle, put back down. When they sleep do 20 min housework then YOU sleep. Baby wakes up, do the same, feed, change, cuddle and put down. Another 20 mins housework then YOU sleep. Repeat! You need a LOT of rest and recovery and in a 20 min session of housework can get a surprising amount done. In 20mins you can load the dishwasher, clear rubbish off countertops and wipe them down and empty trash. Next 20 min session you can hoover a few rooms. Next 20mins put on a load of laundry, tidy the lounge. That's how I got plenty rest and the house stayed looking semi decent in the first week or two.

The one thing I'm iffy about is the every two hour feeds. I left the hospital with full clearance to feed on demand because he would eat for so long and then sleep for four hours. He literally did not want to eat every two hours and I had two pedis argue with each other during my two days in until finally the other was like "oh... he didn't lose weight... and he eats for a long time.. Demand feeding IS best for you"

I nurse on demand too. 4 hours is probably the limit, but with really long feedings the timing is off. With one of mine he would wake up, I'd change him, nurse him, he'd poop while nursing (loudly), then another diaper change , and more nursing but this time his eyes would close. Every time was like that.

That’s what I’m think about…I’m just going to follow my baby’s lead. If she wants to eat every two hours and let’s us know that, ok. If it’s every four hours, ok. But waking a sleeping baby every 2 hours if they’re not hungry seems wrong to me.

@ShakirahIbaad

7 ай бұрын

Here in the U.K. regardless of feeding method (breast, bottle, formula or breastmilk) the National Health Service recommends feeding on demand to all new parents and they only alter that advice if the baby isn’t gaining weight, is jaundiced or has another health issue that requires timed feeding.

Rule nr 1: be kind and forgiving to yourself. You're not perfect so don't expect to be. It's ok to not get everything done, especially at the beginning. As long as baby is fed and changed you deserve a pat on the back. Besides, it will get better very quickly, so stay strong. And just ignore the laundry hamper and pile of dirty dishes. Your wellbeing is more important than that.

That was amazing! 34 years too late for me, but I KNOW this will help other new mothers. My oldest... was awful. LoL Clogged tear duct that actually needed surgery. Colic. Projectile vomit. Lots of burping too. Constipation. Blow outs than ran down my leg and pooled in my shoe. Not jk. Herniated umbilical cord. Wouldn't take a passifier. Used my nipples instead. I was always nude from the waist up for the first 3 months. Breastfeeding... if I hadn't been roughing them up 2 months before she was born, she might have killed me. My huge boobs seemed to only be for their esthetic beauty because they didn't seem to make enough milk. I tried beer, apple juice, water, and every other thing I was told. Remember to clean under their necks! Milk can get under there and get seriously nasty. Good luck! It does get better. My oldest thinks she being awful is hilarious. I wanted her so much that I didn't care. I was so lucky that she was my first and not my 2nd or 3rd.

Burping is like super important. The nurses took my little sister away from my mum after a feeding without burping her and she litteraly turned blue cause she was choking on her spit up, yeah, do not forget to burp.

My baby boy had a clogged tear duct at 12 days old and we ended up in the ER and admitted to the hospital for 3 days. It was horrible. It went from a little red to swollen and crusted shut within about 2 hours. Infection in the eye and that close to the brain is extremely dangerous. Clogged ducts are normal but please don’t ignore it thinking a few drops of breast milk will cure it.

Remember that babies can’t sleep through the night until they weigh 12lbs. Before that they don’t have enough body fat to sustain them through the night. So don’t stress if your baby isn’t sleeping through the night early on. It’s not your failing. Be kind to yourself and follow your instincts xx

If you can't do skin to skin it's ok! You will still bond with your child. There is qlot of stress put on doing skin to skin, qnd yes it's super important during the birth so help you and baby. But it's ok if you do not continue it at home. You will not be less bonded. I had horrible pup rash during and after my pregnancy and my skin burned and bleed and hurt horribly, I could not do skin to skin. It didn't make me any less bonded with my son.

It’s scientifically proven how beneficial skin to skin is for the baby, and for the parent. It’s unfortunate what happened to you, but it doesn’t change the facts. It is possible to mess with the infant’s development if they don’t get certain requirements. Just because you can’t do something, doesn’t mean the baby doesn’t need it. If you can’t breast feed or skin to skin because of a medical reason, it makes sense. But for any other reason, it’s really more harmful. There are people out there who will take this as an excuse to not do what their baby needs, out of laziness and selfishness. There’s tons of research that shows how important skin to skin and breastfeeding is. BF can help protect babies against some short- and long-term illnesses and diseases. Breastfed babies have a lower risk of asthma, obesity, type 1 diabetes, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Breastfed babies are also less likely to have ear infections and stomach bugs. Skin to skin can help if you’re struggling with breast feeding, it lowers blood pressure and provides stress relief. For the baby, it can give them more confidence, feel more relaxed and it can even benefit brain development.

I had 7 live births, and I gave them ALL a bath the minute I got home. It was a bonding time for baby, mommy and daddy. It did no harm whatsoever.

"Burping": I see soo many parents making mess: - the baby has a VERY loaded stomach. -if you give pressure on the belly, result should be clear? - If you carry baby with hands under it's back, baby will be in a curve - with additional pressure on stomach - see above. ALWAYS think how you would feel when you ate too much of your favorite food. You may put the baby on your shoulder but let the body hang down, free space for the stomach. Or: put it on your chest - but it's belly out.

When I used to take care of my little brother, I would do some of the feeds and I always made sure I would burp him during and after the feed. I mean I can’t imagine how uncomfortable he would get if gas starts building mid feed.

Babies can burp on their own. You don’t need to burp them. Holding them horizontally is sufficient to help them burp. Hitting their back does nothing. A study from India showed babies who were burped had more reflex than babies who weren’t.

Tell that to my baby who I did just that with and then when I finally did burp them he felt so much relief 😂

❤❤❤

I also didn’t know about burping the baby. Another thing was wiping their mouth after breastfeeding…not sure if that’s true or what but I was told to do it eventually.

I remember when my sister's cord fell off. We didn't know where it was. some how ended up in the diaper on her butt cheek lol

1. What do you do with the breast milk?

You put a few drops in their eyes the same way you would eye drops.

@@AzuriteLive_ Yeah. It's supposed to help with the gunk babies get in their eyes. Most infants get blocked tear ducts from time to time.

Not bathing the baby till the umbilical cords fall out? African parents left the WhatsApp group 🏃‍♀️

I'm a dad & I did skin to skin with my two constantly.

Clean behind their ears and in their neck folds (and then make sure it gets to dry too) once a day. Missed during nappy changes but gets gross if they aren't bathing yet. And re: eye goop I had that same attitude with my babies, but somehow my 3rd baby his eyes just went crazy FAST. From a bit of goo to swollen, puffed shut and leaking spoonfuls of pus in 24 hours 😢 it was so messed up - turned out he had picked up an infection at the hospital when he went back for his heel prick at 3 days old. Even with the eye drops and compressed and massages after that he ended up with an ongoing eye infection for months, chalazions on one eye that lasted months and have left scars on his upper and lower lid and he's still super sensitive to light 2 years later. Because we only went in for the tests we somehow slipped through a crack - the parents of babies actually admitted on the ward were contacted and given antibiotics etc and told about the infection proactively where I had to wait 30 odd hours to get into a doctor, wait for tests to be sent off and results to come back and then wait some more for the doctor to get back to me and get the medicines. He gets normal human sleepy dust in his eyes and I have PTSD-style flashbacks and feel so sick and instantly panicked.

The data on burping after every feeding is questionable. It really depends on the baby.

If your baby spits up all the time they may have silent reflux. A chiropractor can help! Don’t worry they are not cracking a baby!

Do we put drops of breat milk in the eye for clogged test duct?
