Take care of baby

You choose how you live

It's time to start your new life

Once your baby is at home, you may find life can be very hectic and overwhelming. “While in the hospital, talk to the experts around you. Many hospitals have feeding specialists or lactation consultants who can help you get started nursing or bottle-feeding. Nurses also are a great resource to show you how to hold, burp, change, and care for your baby. For in-home help, you might want to hire a baby nurse, postpartum doula, or a responsible neighborhood teen to help you for a short time after the birth. Your doctor or the hospital can help you find information about in-home help, and might make a referral to home health agencies. Relatives and friends often want to help too. Even if you disagree on certain things, don’t dismiss their experience. But if you don’t feel up to having guests or you have other concerns, don’t feel guilty about placing restrictions on visitors.”

Both parents should be involved in the care of the baby.

How it is involved depends on the individual case.

Even if you can afford to get help, you would like to learn the basics of helping your baby.

It is the best of times. It is the worst of times.

It is always good to be able to do the basics even though you don’t have to do it for now.

Besides, your knowledge is truly useful to select your helper if you can afford it.

The basics are: changing the diapers, handling of diaper rash, bathing the baby, umbilical core care, feeding and burping etc.

Learning these are a great joy because you love your baby.

But it takes patience to learn some of them well.

In the mean time, there are many things that can help you do things easier and neater. 

You can buy these things from a baby store.

“The majority of women experience at least some symptoms of the baby blues immediately after childbirth. It’s caused by the sudden change in hormones after delivery, combined with stress, isolation, sleep deprivation, and fatigue. You might feel more tearful, overwhelmed, and emotionally fragile. Generally, this will start within the first couple of days after delivery, peak around one week, and taper off by the end of the second week postpartum. The baby blues are perfectly normal, but if your symptoms don’t go away after a few weeks or get worse, you may be suffering from postpartum depression.”

In fact, at the same time, many women don’t have this problem.

Being able to live a simple life is the key.

You become capable to think simple and enjoy simple, even though you can live well and rich.

If you have not thought about this, now is the time to learn how to live simple.
