Dealing with babies
Babies may be a boon to parents but handling babies is not so easy. Parents often have questions about babies and their care. The first questions often rise during pregnancy. Pregnant women need to know how to take care of the baby in the womb. They must ask questions about baby’s prenatal care to prenatal experts. Maternity clinics and nursing homes can help you a lot in understanding about pregnancy care, pre and post delivery care and treatments. Asking doubts about the trimesters, delivery dates and special care during gestation will certainly help you ensure a smoother delivery of the baby.
Remember special care needs to be taken during pregnancy about the following points:
Nutrition:
Your diet must be such that both the growing baby and you must receive sufficient nutrition. Eating fruits, leafy vegetables, enough milk and proteins along with folic acid supplements works to improve your and your baby’s health. Avoid alcohol, carbonated drinks, smoking, undercooked meat or eggs at all costs.
Infections:
Avoiding infections and taking general preventive measures during pregnancy for common diseases can save your baby from negative impact of diseases as well as side effects of medications.
Other considerations:
Exercising during pregnancy is advocated by many as it keeps both the baby and the mother in shape and healthy. But exercise must be done under strict guidance of experts and only after permission from your family doctor or physician.
Fathers too may have questions about pregnancy and babies such as, how to take care of the mother and the unborn child and is it safe to have sex with the pregnant mother. Fathers can play an important role to relieve her anxieties and fears as well helping her in mundane tasks and activities. They can help around the kitchen or do chores that the pregnant mother might find difficult to do.
Once a child is born, the mother needs to be careful about the baby’s weight, its diet, its feeding habits, and cleanliness and above all, making sure that enough care and attention that a new born baby deserves is given. The growing baby needs high intake of healthy and nutritious food. It will keep on growing by leaps and bounds and needs continuous watch over the diet. Breast milk is must for your baby’s growth. You must ask questions about baby’s diet to your doctor who can guide you in practical aspects such as when to start feeding solids.
Parents must keep a close watch on the baby’s vital signs such as its temperature so that they immediately detect signs of impending diseases. As they say “A crying baby always gets what it wants”. It is absolutely true that babies don’t have any other mode of communication with us apart from crying. Hence dealing with babies requires anticipating their requirements through their body language and expressions. Special care is needed in handling them, their clothes, their vaccination schedule, mood swings, tantrums, food likes and dislikes etc.
In a nutshell, it is important to be well informed about baby care. It is advisable to maintain a diary or record for noting vital parameters of the baby’s health, diet, feeding times etc. which will help you in understanding the baby’s needs.
Thus raising a baby needs total dedication and know how. Do ask your doctor any questions you have about baby’s health. It’s great to become a Dad or a Mom, but equally it’s important to understand the challenge involved in raising a baby. Certainly, it’s not child’s play!
