Prepare to Bring Home the Newborn Child
At last, the wait is over and you are now officially a mother. You can now laugh at those morning sickness, pain and anxiety you have experienced for the past few months. You have been very brave that you overcome those times, and finally it's over. While you have now your baby in your arms, you might never thought you could love a little one so much. You are in such awe and amazement of how adorable and precious your little bundle of joy is. It seems that you don't want to ever let go of your baby, but your little one needs to be checked by nurses and you too need to get rest. All has been well and settled in the hospital and you feel very confident to have you and your baby released home.
Having you and your little one settled at home, you are rest assured that there will be no more nurses and check ups all day long and you are now free to spend all your time with your baby. But surprisingly, your rest will soon disturbed because the child won't stop crying, you are trying to feed her, or change her diaper, and entertain her but nothing is working. And worse, she won't stop spitting up and pooping.
With this situation, perhaps you will begin to realize that coming home is not a right choice that you are tempted to pack up your stuff and take your baby back to the hospital for a few more days of rest. We often thought that giving a little doll to a crying baby would pay off. What we seem to think may not always be true.
Don't make mistake of taking those cases as a threat especially for pregnant moms. Rather, take it as encouragement that tells you to prepare for your upcoming baby, and staying for a couple of days in the hospital allows you to rest better. Take it one step at a time, don't let yourself gets too excited of playing a new role as mom. Taking on too much in the beginning can make yourself sick and then won't have enough time to spend taking care of your precious child. Avoid letting yourself act as if you are a ''super mommy'', you will only stress yourself out. So take the few tips below after you and your baby have been released from the hospital.
* Get rest. Do not let others disturbed you while you are sleeping. It is more better not to take visitors in the house during your first week after you have been released from the hospital.
* Swallow your pride. You obviously need someone who can help you with cleaning as well as buying all your necessities. Although you might be prepared for major essentials but sometimes forgetting little things is inevitable.
* Do not force yourself to work on some things too much during the first few weeks.
* If you have a partner, of course he should help you as far as he could. For instance, you can both reshuffle baby caring schedules. This will allow each of you to get some rest while the other one is awake.
* Long before your due date, prepare everything. If there is a baby shower party then have your baby gifts prepared already. Also, you don't want to forget important baby supplies like baby clothing, feeding supplies, blankets, baby furniture and other caring items for your little one.
