Many parents are understandably nervous and unsure of whether they are good parents or are going to be good parents. Raising a child or having a new child can be one of the most stressful things that a person might have to deal with during their life. This article will alleviate some of those concerns by offering advice on how to be a better parent.
Use a pump or hand express milk if you are engorged and the baby is not ready to eat when breastfeeding. There are few things more painful to a new mother than having produced too much milk and not having a way to release it. Our bodies gradually start to produce only what is needed for the baby but it takes a little while to regulate. By expressing some of the milk you can reduce the pain until baby’s next meal.
Learn this trick for the best way to release the baby from the breast. When he is done eating on one side, take your pinkie and bring it in between your breast and the baby’s gums. This will release the suction allowing you to take him off the breast. Whatever you do, don’t try to pull him off, it will hurt.
When your child falls and bumps their head, do not allow them to go to sleep for at least two hours. This is because you want to monitor for symptoms that your child may have suffered from internal bleeding. Some symptoms include disorientation, confusion, headache and dizziness complaints, and blurred vision. If your child has these symptoms, bring him/her to the emergency room.
Being a parent can be very stressful. Many parents are also insecure of their parenting abilities. The best fix is to learn how to be a better parent and hopefully this article has done just that. Learning to be a better parent can also be a great source of confidence.
