Advantages of Breastfeeding:
-
Breast milk is the best food to help your baby grow and develop.
-
Breast milk helps your baby fight off sickness and disease.
-
Breast milk
provides ideal nutrition for babies.
Disadvantages of Breastfeeding:
-
You may feel discomfort, particularly during the first few days or weeks.
-
There isn't a way to measure how much your baby is eating.
-
You'll need to watch your medication use, caffeine, and alcohol intake.
Important Facts About Bringing a Newborn Baby Home:
-
New babies can get sick easily. Try to keep your baby away from anyone who has cold or flu
symptoms.
-
Because their stomachs are so tiny, newborns need to eat small amounts frequently.
If you’re
breastfeeding, the recommendation is to feed baby on demand, meaning whenever they’re
hungry and ask for food which can be eight to 12 times a day.
-
If you’re bottle feeding your baby with expressed breast milk or formula, the amount can
range from 2 to 4 ounces every two to four hours.
-
Make sure you’ve prepared a
safe space
for your infant to snooze, either in a crib or
bassinet that’s free of any toys, blankets, pillows or padded bumpers. All that should be in
the bed is a tightly fitted sheet and your child.
-
When crying, a baby
might be
trying to tell you
that they’re hungry, tired, too hot or cold,
have a wet diaper, are overstimulated or not feeling well. As you get to know your baby,
you’ll begin to understand what each of their expressions mean’’.
-
Coming home with a newborn can feel intimidating, and it’s not always clear to first-time
parents what’s normal and what’s not. You can always call the pediatrician if you’re unsure
about something, but here are the big red flags to keep a lookout for.
-
When you get home from the hospital, baby’s umbilical cord stump is still going to be
healing. The best way to
care for it
is to simply leave it alone. Make sure it stays dry (so give
baby
sponge baths
only until it falls off) and gets plenty of air. To avoid irritating it, fold
baby’s diaper down away from the stump. The scab will fall off on its own in about seven to
10 days.

Postpartum Depression in Pregnancy:

Your body and mind go through many changes during and after pregnancy.
If you feel empty,
