More tips from our guest contributor mum Jannet Tang, right from her notes while during her early days after her beautiful boy was born. So this will be in her original note form:
*Teach baby bedtime cues, day and night.
*Make night time dark, boring and quiet.
*Put baby down before they fall asleep.
*Wind pain – bring baby up right to let the air out.
*Baby makes noises during their sleep – stand back and watch them.
*Let the baby be content and settled.
*Put baby at the bottom of the cott as they wiggle downwards.
*If mummy feels overwhelmed/upset/angry, Mummy put baby down, step back, go out and breathe. Call someone for help. Take Baby outside.
*Tummy time helps strengthen neck and release wind. When older, 20 minutes are enough.
*Check the back of neck if sweating to see if baby is hot or not. Wear bonds vest nappy and wrap with Wet muslin wrap to cool down baby.
*Have baby adapt to parents and we talk things out as both of us can get postnatal depression.
Hope this along with the last few posts by our helpful and supportive mum Jannet Tang will be of use to you all. And if you have any great little notes đź“’ that you wish to share with Healthy Mum & Bub, do let us know in comments.
