Every one becomes the happiest person in the
world the time he knows that he becomes a mother or a father. Don’t let the
sense of happiness make you forget important things to do for you baby that
plans his healthy state after. Specialists and doctors say that there are very
simple things that make the baby in a good health in his first hours out his
mother’s womb. Here we give you golden advises that you keep in mind to do when
you have a new born.
1-Hug him and hold him close:
You can’t imagine how much a small hug from the
mother or the father in the first hours of the baby is beneficial for him. The
temperature that you give him makes him feel of security and adaptation. This
technique is called “the kangaroo mother” by which the baby feels good in his
first hours and smells the mother’s smell what makes him reduce a sense of
loneliness and be relaxed. It also affects his brain to start differentiate
senses and let work the five senses of the baby. Moreover, this technique
reduce 51 % the risk or the level of mortality around the
world. So don’t forget to hold your baby close in his first hours and keep him
alive because it’s time to start building a sweet relationship with him by
making him use his senses and feelings.
2-Use a bag mask:
The scientists argue that the major causes of
deaths of new borns are infections, asphyxia and low birth weight. People should be aware of the dangers of
holding a baby or staying close to him without using a bag mask. By using a bag
mask you are preventing him away from infections and illnesses. The fact that
the baby still new born and it’s the first time he meets the outside world,
means that he still very sensitive towards anything in the outside world. And he needs time to adapt
by time. So keep this in mind and don’t forget to use a bag mask.
3-Breastfeed:
It is necessary and obligatory that your new born should have a
breastfeed. Breast milk is the best and
the most healthy nutrition for your baby. It supports his immune systems by
delivering him antibodies from the mother directly. Breastfeeding after the
first hour of the baby’s connection with the outside world can be the cause of
his lifesaving and preventing him from many infections and diseases.
4-Offer him a sponge bath:
Keep your baby clean and let him discover water and bathing. Some people
deny the fact that babies should have a close contact with water until the
second day or after 24 hours. But it’s not good idea for his well being and
comfort. The feeling we have after a
shower is the same feeling the new born has in his first hours although he
knows nothing and he is not aware or conscious of the outside world yet. But
the sponge bath makes his soft bones relaxed and gives him a special feeling to
get asleep after.
5-Observe if he cries
from time to time
A new born’s way of communication is crying. You have to pay attention of his crying. You
should know that if your baby doesn’t cry means that there is something wrong with
him. Each time your baby cries means that there is something you should know or
you should fix. You have to check if he is fully dry. If not, you must do so.
Check his small body if there is something looks different. See if he need
feeding…etc. you have to keep in mind that each time your baby cries means that
there is something you should serve him with. And if he keeps quiet all the
time, you have to see his doctor to see what’s wrong with him.
