Post-Pregnancy Care

While most attention to pregnancy care focuses on the nine months of pregnancy, postpartum care is important, too. The postpartum period lasts six to eight weeks, beginning right after the baby is born. During this period, the mother goes through many physical and emotional changes while learning to care for her newborn. Postpartum care involves getting proper rest, nutrition, and vaginal care.

Breast feeding

The establishment of successful exclusive Breast feeding takes about 7 to 10 days in, all mothers. It is essential to stay patient till then. Key factors for this are frequent on demand feeding, especially night time sucking, having a nutritious diet, ensuring plenty of fluid intake. Correct latching technique of the baby should be followed. Apply hind milk as moisturiser to nipple to crack.

Remember BREAST MILK IS THE BEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE YOUR BABY.

Getting Enough Rest

Rest is crucial for new mothers who need to rebuild their strength.

  • Sleep when your baby sleeps irrespective of day or night.
  • You may not get at a stretch sleep of 6 to 8 hours, you have to sleep t short duration.
  • Keep your bed near your baby’s crib to make night feedings easier
  • Allow someone else to burp the baby after the feed while you sleep
  • Eating Right

    Getting proper nutrition in the post pregnancy period is crucial because of the changes your body goes through during pregnancy and labour. The weight that you gained during pregnancy helps make sure you have enough nutrition for breast-feeding. However, you need to continue to eat a healthy diet after delivery.

    Experts recommend that breast-feeding mothers eat when they feel hungry. Make a special effort to focus on eating when you are actually hungry — not just busy or tired.

  • Avoid high-fat snacks
  • You don’t have to eat for two people.
  • Focus on eating low-fat foods that balance protein, carbohydrates, and fruits and vegetables
  • Drink plenty of fluids
  • Vaginal Care

    New mothers should make vaginal care an essential part of their postpartum care. You may experience:

  • Vaginal soreness if you had a tear during delivery
  • Urination problems like pain or a frequent urge to urinate
  • Discharge, including small blood clots
  • Contractions during the first few days after delivery
  • Practice kegel’s excercises.
