The general question of how baby care should be including breastfeeding, changing diaper, belly care and skin care is among the questions that new parents ask themselves most. It is quite normal for parents who face so many problems to feel stressed in this period, find themselves under a severe responsibility and panic. Let’s examine the questions which would be on your mind in this period.
First of all, your baby will wake up frequently in this period as they feel hungry frequently, and they will go back to sleep after breastfeeding. Therefore, your baby is expected to wake up frequently at night. Moreover, since your night sleep, as the parents, is divided frequently, it is normal for you to feel tired and stressed due to irregular sleep. This irregular sleep period may last for 3 months.
The question “Do I have enough milk?” Is another question that many mothers ask themselves in this period. This process, which should be conducted under the control of the physician, can be observed by following your bay’s development, height and weight.
And, what should you pay attention to when choosing bathing and cleaning products for your baby such as a baby shampoo, a rash cream, a detergent or a softener? First of all, babies’ skin development may continue for some times more after their birth. In this period, when their skins are very sensitive, you should pay attention for the content of the baby care products to be preferred in this period to be sensitive and compatible with the skin pH of your baby. Make sure that you use allergen- and paraben-free cleaning products.
Finally, do not forget that your baby needs to touch you, and feel your smell and voice.
