7th Ante-Natal & Lamaze – Follow Up

Mar 15

We had our Ante Natal Classes from Ms Stuti Jain on “From a mother to mothers-to-be” – Was all exited to attend as this would be the second I’m attending and 6th Class of Vanitha. But she told all the guys there to wait outside as the talks were personal in nature.

Without any option had to wait outside until the classes got over. Before we left she did discuss about few things :-

Naval

Please Clean the Naval of the Baby before and after the chord falls. This is very important as infections can be caused if not taken proper care. The best way is to use Alcohol Swipes which are available with the chemist.

Rashes

Rashes can be easily occur to babies, you have to make sure you clean the genitals and rectum every time with the baby poops or urines. Also advised to add Baby Oil or Coconut Oil which ever goes well with the baby while cleaning.

Schedule

This was very interesting, she shared a secret on how does she manage to maintain the schedule. Try to keep the baby awake till 9 or 10 PM even if the baby is dozing off, keep it engaged, so that when you sleep at around same time, the baby also has a peaceful sleep and baby will not be wide awake in the middle of night – both Mother and baby are happy :)

She also suggested to get the baby used to the fixed time schedule, maintain the same feeding time, same sleeping time from the beginning so that the baby gets used to it and both Mother and Baby are used to the timings.

She also cleared some Pregnancy Myths – will put a separate post on this
