Breast milk is best for your baby

Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for healthy growth and development of babies. Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is the optimal way of feeding infants. Thereafter infants should receive complementary foods with continued breastfeeding up to two years or beyond. Good maternal nutrition helps sustain an adequate supply and quality of breast milk. Unnecessary introduction of bottle feeding, partially or fully, or of other complementary foods and drinks may have a negative impact on breastfeeding, which may be irreversible. Consult your doctor and consider the social and financial implications before deciding to use breast milk substitutes or if you have difficulty breastfeeding. Follow usage, preparation and storage instructions of breast milk substitutes or of other complementary foods and drinks carefully as improper or unnecessary use may pose a health hazard.

Tips To Manage Sleep Deprivation

Sleep…what sleep? We bet that’s what every parent will say when they have a child. The change in your daily schedule will be rather drastic so try some of these tactics on how to manage sleep deprivation and letting your child sleep better!

Dreamfeed

Dreamfeed is a term for when feeding is given to your baby before your nap or sleep time. With a full tummy, your baby will sleep longer. Hence, practice Dreamfeed, especially at night before you sleep, so that you and your baby can sleep together, better, and longer.

Limit length of naptimes

Babies can’t differentiate between day and night. This might confuse the adults’ biological clocks together with their daytime obligations, too. Try to shorten each naptime to less than 2 to 2.5 hours every day by gently waking up your baby for a feeding.

Accept Help

As a parent, juggling everything with your baby can get overwhelming. Accepting help from others might do you and your partner good, even if it is temporary. Accept help from your mother-in-law, mother, or anyone who offers to babysit your baby for a night or two. Make sure to properly recharge and rejuvenate when your baby is in the arms of a reliant family member or friend! Remember, it takes a village!

Stay Away from Technology & Caffeine

Once your baby is off to dreamland, it might be hard to avoid the temptation of scrolling through social media and catching up with your favourite TV series. Avoid it all, especially before bedtime, and catch up on sleep instead. This also can be a good time to quit or limit your caffeine intake as it disrupts energy levels.
