  • Tips For Your Newborn

    18 March 2017

    Accident Pro Prime
    Your Second trimester

    Congratulations

    After 37 to 42 weeks of harboring a new life, you are ready to meet the baby growing inside you. It's a time of healing for your body and of learning and growing with baby. This phase starts from the moment of birth to the time baby is three months old.

    What are some Post-Childbirth Symptoms I May Experience and How Can I Cope with Them?

    Women with night sweats

    NIGHT SWEATS

    • Place a towel on your mattress
    • Wear lightweight cotton pajamas made from cotton to stay cool
    Leg pain

    SWELLING OF YOUR FEET

    • Sit up with your feet elevated for proper blood circulation
    Leg pain
    angry woman

    NECK PAIN

    • Relieve the pain with an ice pack or a heat pack
    very clean toilet

    INCONSISTENCIES WITH URINATION

    • Cut down on spicy foods and carbonated drinks
    • Do kegel exercises 10 minutes a day
    very clean toilet

    Breastfeeding Basics

    lady and her child
    • Your baby may take some time to learn how to latch on to your breast for milk
    • It is recommended to breastfeed your baby every two to three hours daily, up to 12 times a day
    • Soften your breasts before letting your baby latch on for a more comfortable session. Use heat pads or gently massage your breasts
    • Using a breast pump can also help to relieve breast engorgement and prepare a supply for your baby
    • If you are in constant pain or experience very injured nipples, you may want to consult a lactatian expert to correct your baby's latching

    What is my baby experiencing

    Your baby would have spent 9 months in the confines of your womb - the only world as they know it. They experience a whole new world at childbirth.

    baby in womb

    Womb World

    • Dark
    • Quieter / Softer
    • Noises
    • Warm
    • Temperature
    • Surrounded by water
    • Inability to smell
    • Constantly held
    • Limited space

    Our World

    • Light
    • Loud Noises
    • Hot and Cold Temperatures
    • Surrounded by air
    • Surrounded by different smell
    • Held lesser
    • Lots of space to move around
    babies around the globe

    To enable a better transtition for baby, try to retain some elements of the womb world after childbirth.

    Your baby's nursery

    Ensure the nursery or your baby's cot is far from sources of noise and light

    Your house and environment

    Keep the room temperature consistent and comfortable

    Parents with their baby

    Both parents should have physical contact with the baby for several moments a day

    What are the common worries and questions at this stage?

    What is jaundice?
    • Jaundice is a condition resulting in the yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes
    • It typically appears on the second and third day after birth and usually settles down within 2 weeks after birth
    How does it occur?
    • Happens when there's a build-up of bilirubin in the blood and tissues of the body
    • Normally, the liver filters bilirubin from the bloodstream and releases it into the intestinal tract
    • A newborn's immature liver often can't remove bilirubin quickly enough, causing an excess
    Can it be treated?
    • New born jaundice goes away on its own
    • Anything more severe will require treatment to lower the level of bilirubin in your baby's blood

    As a parent, you would never want to believe that your precious newborn may have a problem. But, when it comes to Autism, catching it early as 18 months makes a big difference.

    What is autism spectrum?
    • May appear in infancy and early childhood
    • Causes delays in basic areas of development such as learning how to talk, play and interact with others
    What are the common symptoms?
    • Difficulty in communicating verbally and non-verbally
    • Inability relating to others and the world around them
    • Child may repeat their body movements
    Can it be treated?
    • As a parent, you are in the best position to spot your child's early warning signs
    • Trust your instincts and consult your doctor immediately once you spot these early signs
    • Schedule a follow up appointment with your doctor and seek a second opinion just to assure yourself

    It's normal for each child to get overexcited and spacey every now and then.

    What is ADHD?
    • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that makes it hard for a child to control his activity level and reactions to what's going on around them
    • A child with ADHD may have trouble being attentive on what they would want to do
    • This condition often emerges during early childhood

    What are the common symptoms?

    Child with day dream thought bubble

    Daydreams

    Child scribbling on his or her book

    Difficulty in paying attention

    Child experimenting with gambling

    Easily distracted from different tasks

    Talkative child

    Talks too much

    Child with vibrating hands

    Often fidgets or squirms

    But, if you think your preschooler is like that most of the time and you're starting to get worried, consult your doctor immediately as spotting ADHD at an early stage is the best
