Being a mother is one of the best experiences for a woman, but can be exhausting, especially in the early months of the baby when he needs all your care and attention.

It takes time to adjust to the times and needs of newborn babies: a baby does not know what time it is, if you want to be fed hungry, sleep when sleepy, and if dirty want to feel clean. Everything revolves around him, so time management is essential to continue with your tasks.

Sleep patterns of infants and their feeding schedules, will be adjusted according to the new environment, including fears, doubts and confusion of the new parents.

If you’re wondering how to manage your time to enjoy your baby without dying in the attempt to suggest you view some tips:

Know your priorities: Your top priority will surely be your baby, but you and mother are a priority, you should rest for your body to recover from labor and eating properly, so take a rest when the baby does.

Delegating tasks: Some of the household tasks can be delegated to other family members.

Channel your energies: With a newborn baby unexpected things happen, rest when you can relax and do the tasks you prefer when the baby is awake.

Make a list of things to do every day: A routine will help you use your time better. It seems sound easy, but implementation will take time.

Maybe at first you feel very anxious about the arrival of your baby, but I’m sure in a few weeks will settle into your new routine and the role of parents.

Taking a baby in her arms is a sense of satisfaction that connects completely incomparable to mom or dad with his son, an image of extreme protection and connection is more than suggestive. This is why taking a baby in arms, there are many psychological issues at stake.

But there are other ways, call them “technical”, which are also at stake when we make a baby in our arms. How to take the baby and how to transport it is essential to avoid accidents.

First to take keep in mind that the baby has not yet developed the muscles of the neck or body size has become an enabling it to keep the weight of your head. This is why the best way to take it between the arm and chest, resting her head on our biceps.

Another thing to consider, also related to the above is that when you bring the baby be careful that your head does not wobble. You must take it by hand, accompanied with this body movement, so that the baby does not feel the weight of your head.

It is also important to note that not a good idea to pick up the baby for long journeys, but rather short, as transfers within the home, for example. If it is moved along the street always run the risk of tripping or getting tired, and drop the child at an early age can be lethal.

Watch and enjoy this time of bodily communication. Of course, seeks to bring out the right way to avoid accidents.

Dehydration is the excessive loss of fluids in the body, it is important to note that not only dehydration but also to eliminate the liquid electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, chloride and calcium, the baby’s body contains 60% water.

Dehydration can be caused by very frequent vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive sweating, the symptoms of children with dehydration are: thirst, crying, excessive desire to take fluids, fever, will be very angry.

Do not smoke during infancy
There is evidence that nicotine passes into breast milk, but not at levels that may be harmful or toxic to the baby. Also nicotine levels that reach the breast milk may cause the baby lack of sleep and arousal, and that nicotine is a stimulant drug. That’s why I recommend that if possible try to avoid smoking for one hour before each feed.
The big problem for the baby to represent the smoke, since according to recent research the children of smokers are more prone to the syndrome of sudden infant death (SIDS) and respiratory infections. For this reason we advise you to not smoke near your baby or in your room.

Do not take medications without consulting your doctor
Before taking any medication that you remind the doctor prescribed you’re breastfeeding and have any doubt consult your pediatrician or obstetric team. They demonstrated the adverse effects that can cause some drugs on the infant. So you never treat yourself. (more…)

To fully enjoy the joy of breastfeeding is necessary to follow a few tips that are actually necessary knowledge to achieve a healthy and uncomplicated breastfeeding. Here we give you the most important things to consider.

Newborn babies spend most of their time sleeping. As your baby gets older, he stays awake longer and longer periods of time together and before you know it, he sleeps only during lunch a few hours and he continued a normal day / night rhythm developed.

Every person has his own sleep patterns, as it were programmed into his body and brains. This also applies to a newborn baby. As one person has enough of an average of five hours sleep per night and the other can not function without a minimum of eight hours, so even one baby sleep longer than the other. (more…)
