After giving birth to my second child, I was taken care of by a nanny during my confinement period.
For more than 20 days, my confinement sister-in-law took good care of my second baby and me.
Here I would like to say that I am most grateful to my confinement nanny for helping me take care of Dabao.
To be honest, Dabao ate much better than I did during the period when the confinement nanny was there.
I'm actually not very good at cooking, I only know a few simple home-cooked dishes.
In addition to making confinement meals for me, my confinement sister-in-law will also specially cook meals for Dabao in the morning and evening (Dabao goes to kindergarten and is not at home to eat at noon). Every meal is different. Chinese and Western food are alternated. Dabao especially likes to eat and is full.
I feel very good when I drink enough.
During the confinement period, the time I spent with Dabao was greatly reduced. There were several times when Dabao came over with toys and asked me to accompany him while he was breastfeeding. I couldn't help but feel guilty. I was also afraid that he would be disappointed.
Later, the confinement sister-in-law took the initiative to come to Dabao and play toys and games with him. The two of them had a lot of fun and became very close to each other.
Especially on weekends, my aunt will lead Dabao to cook delicious food, watch cartoons, read books and tell stories together, which can fill my gap and help Dabao feel less lost.
To this day, Dabao still misses her from time to time.
A good confinement nanny can be of great help to postpartum women, not only helping them recover physically, but also taking care of their mood.
I think I will always remember this aunt I only got along with for less than a month.
What kind of help can a confinement nanny provide to pregnant women?
When it comes to this topic, I think I can answer it. I am a mother who has given birth and knows nothing about taking care of the baby. I can’t even change diapers. I found a confinement nanny to take good care of the baby and me during the confinement period. Improvement
Improved my quality of life during confinement.
More than ten days after the birth of the baby, the confinement nanny taught me how to change the baby's diapers and bathe the baby. She taught me a lot. After the confinement nanny left, I took care of the baby well by myself. The confinement nanny can be said to be quite helpful to the mothers.
The big ones can be summarized as follows: Specifically, the baby’s feeding time, the amount of milk he drinks, the mother’s breastfeeding posture, observing whether the baby is full, whether the milk is sufficient, and helping the baby burp in time after drinking milk.
wait.
These are also essential skills for professional confinement nanny.
When the baby urinates and defecates, change the diaper correctly. After changing the diaper, wash it with clean water in time and apply diaper cream to prevent red buttocks and eczema. At the same time, you should observe the characteristics of the baby's urine and stool to identify whether the baby is eating.
Good, is it enough, is there diarrhea, indigestion, etc.
In order to prevent the baby from overflowing milk, it is necessary to have a suitable angle for sleeping and the amount of quilt covered when sleeping. Sometimes the baby's fever is caused by covering the baby with too much quilt.
A good confinement nanny can prevent this phenomenon from happening.
Some daily care for babies, such as massaging after bathing, massaging the belly, and massaging some acupuncture points all over the body can promote the development of the baby, especially the development of the brain and bones.
And rubbing the belly can help the baby's spleen and digestion.
During the confinement period, try to develop a good habit for the baby, so that after the confinement sister-in-law is gone, the mother can take care of the baby better. She will not be noisy at night, and the time to drink milk will not be very long. These are all
The standard to measure an excellent confinement nanny.
How much should a mother eat to ensure adequate milk supply, how to eat scientifically, and the preparation of nutritious meals all need to be done by the confinement nanny, including some measures for breastfeeding, breast care, and nipple care all need to be done by the confinement nanny.
Learn under the guidance of others.
After the mother is discharged from the hospital, some wound cleaning and care also require the help of the confinement nanny. For personal hygiene, because she does not wash her hair very frequently during the confinement period, sometimes she still needs the help of the confinement nanny to wash her hair and take a bath properly.
The most important point is that the confinement nanny must have strong psychological care capabilities to prevent the mother from postpartum depression, especially if the mother lives with her grandparents or grandparents, because there are many inconsistencies involved, and she must learn to reasonably adjust to her elders.
If you have any minor disputes or conflicts with your mother, spend more time chatting with her.
A good confinement nanny will do more work by herself and let the mother have more rest. This is very important. Only when the mother rests well will she not be depressed and can ensure sufficient milk supply.
In short, an excellent confinement nanny must be very professional. She can take care of both the baby and the mother. She can ensure that the baby eats well and sleeps well for a long time, and the mother also rests well.
Finding a suitable confinement nanny can be of great help to pregnant women.
My cousin hired a confinement nanny when she was in her third trimester of pregnancy. When she gave birth to her baby and came home, the confinement nanny lived in her home.
This confinement nanny is particularly helpful to my cousin’s postpartum care: 1. It relieves the mother-in-law or mother’s labor force and eliminates the need for the elderly to serve the confinement and take care of the children.
Although the old man wanted to help, the care during confinement required a lot of physical strength to cope with it.
Moreover, the parenting concepts of parents or parents-in-law are very different from those of the younger generation, which will inevitably cause friction and cause unhappiness for both parties.
2. Help your cousin with postpartum care. The confinement sisters are all trained and have experience themselves.
She will help weak mothers adjust their daily lives and keep their bodies clean and hygienic.
She also knows how to take daily body care and help mothers clean their bodies and clothes.
Moreover, the confinement nanny also personally takes care of the child so that the mother can have a good rest.
