Another tip: Avoid playing those nonsense kpakoro naija dance hall music near your baby. It gets on their nerves and causes discomfort. Soft, easy listening music makes sense. Classical music is even better.

That's not true.
Every baby is different. Mine stops crying and sleeps when I carry her and dance to those "kpakoro" music.

Nairalandsss:
it is not easy being a first time mother. First of all, you have no experience. Secondly, you are totally racked up with the experience of giving birth. In short, you are still reeling from the absolute unreality of the fact that you have now become a mother and have a little newborn baby who is completely dependent on you.Elderly women or your friends who have had babies before can tell you everything that you need to know. So consult them but use your own brains too. Do not get intimidated just because you are a first time mother.Here are some baby care tips for first time mothers.

Baby care tips for first time mothers are:

1.Get Rid Of Fear: Most women have never ever help a newborn baby in their lives. Your bundle of joy looks so tender and delicate that you are terrified of doing something wrong. Get rid of the fear and trust your natural maternal instincts; they can never be wrong.

2.Hold The Baby Right: Ask the nurses or doctors who come to attend you, to teach how to hold a newborn baby. The standard way to hold a newborn baby is to support your baby’s neck with one arm and hold the legs with the other.

3.Feed Every Few Hours: Feeding your baby the colostrum that your breasts secrete for the first 2 days after birth is very healthy. After that you must feed your baby every 2 or 3 hours. Newborn babies need to be fed regularly.

4.Breast Feeding Positions: You have to learn and choose the best breastfeeding position for yourself. There are four breastfeeding positions to choose from. You have to see in which one you and your baby are most comfortable.

5.Keep Baby Warm: Newborn babies like to stay warm and huddled up. This is because they are still used to the cozy feeling in the womb. So keep your baby wrapped up tightly and hold him/her as much as you can.

6.Baby Burps: You have to make your baby burp every time you feed him/her. Newborn babies are still not experts at feeding so they suck a lot air while drinking milk. This can lead to gas and abdominal discomfort. Make the baby burp after every feed.

7.Baby Stool: Your baby may pass watery stool on one day and normal on the other. There might be days when your baby does not pass any stool. During the first 3 months after birth, the baby’s intestines are not fully developed. So don’t get worked up about your baby’s potty habits already.

8.Newborn Babies Sleep A Lot: Newborn babies sleep for 18 to 20 hours in a day. You need to wake them for feeding sometimes. But otherwise, allow your little one to sleep as much as he/she wants.

9.Bathing The Baby: Your baby may be expected to bathe for the first within a week of its birth. The best way to bathe a newborn baby is in a tub of lukewarm water. Hold your baby in the tub in a sitting position and splash a little.

10.Ask For Help n Accept It: As a new mother, you will still be recovering from the trauma of giving birth. So don’t try to be a super mom and do everything yourself. Take help from your parents, in-laws and friends. It is always in the best interest of your baby and you as well.

pls how do you make baby burps? thanks in advance

Nice tips.
Placing your child in a particular laying position for too long and regularly should also be discourage. I know of a mother who disfigured the neck of his baby because of handling.

Thanks op.

That's not true.
Every baby is different. Mine stops crying and sleeps when I carry her and dance to those "kpakoro" music.

The keyword here is 'dance'. Why won't she sleep when you are rocking her to sleep with your dance?
My point is scientifically proven.


I totally agree that every baby is different.

Great

Also make sure you have uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact with your baby as often as possible ( never mind all those people saying dont carry your baby too much, no baby ever died of over cuddling ).

Unless you are ill, please and please take care of your baby by yourself, spend as much time getting to know your him/her.

Taking care of a new born is a stressful time but a rewarding experience.

usually its not the actual caring for the child that's stressful, its the outstanding chores and tasks around you that is.

Also POST NATAL DEPRESSION IS REAL
Those around you need to recognise the symptoms , so that as soon as you start to exhibit them , they can swing into action

Signs that you or someone you know might be depressed include:

a persistent feeling of sadness and low mood
lack of enjoyment and loss of interest in the wider world
lack of energy and feeling tired all the time
trouble sleeping at night and feeling sleepy during the day
difficulty bonding with your baby
withdrawing from contact with other people
problems concentrating and making decisions
frightening thoughts – for example, about hurting your baby

Number8 is very controversial if not out right fallacy I thought the 18-20hours thing meant a stretch! Capital NO!!!!

If you are lucky your baby will distribute the sleep time to 1hr max at a stretch.

Mine was 5 min sleep most times! Very tiring.

Noise is good for them at times! That way the baby won't be cranky and sleepless when there's noise inevitably​.

I feel scared and uneasy each time I think of childbirth, common menstrual cramp is so painful not to talk about child birth
Is it true breastfeeding makes the nipple sore? But it's not painful when a guy suck your books, so why's breastfeeding painful?

Aww no need to be! Our body is built for it so when you get to that bridge you will definitely cross it successfully.

Find time to spy on this two threads you will learn alot.

How do you make a baby burp?

By continuously rubbing the baby's back. With time though some of them burp by themselves few minutes after eating.

You don't need to be scared hun. God has given women the strength and you are no exception. Breastfeeding isn't painful neither does it make the nipples sore

Thanks, I'll go through the threads. Good thing I still have some years before thinking of childbirth, maybe I'll outgrow the fear.

Hmm, that's encouraging. But still scared of it tho.

I used to have similar fears too. I'ld avoid drugs when having menstrual pain so I can know how labour pain feels but its not close at all. When the time came, my fears became a thing of the past.
