Baby Care: Motherhood not only gives satisfactions; it also demands sacrifices—considerable drudgery is often involved. The mother cannot expect to have the freedom she knew before she had a baby care to care for. Yet she should not go to the extreme of devoting herself exclusively to the baby care. It is better for the expectant mother to take a realistic view in advance than to be completely disillusioned after the baby care is born.
The physical care of the neonate has psychological significance. In fact, it comprises the only language he understands during the first weeks of life. Good physical care also plays an important role throughout infancy in preventing serious illness and all its psychological complications. It influences the baby care's future disposition and outlook on life.
The first twenty-four hours of a baby care's life are usually supervised by the doctor or nurse rather than by the mother. The first bath, the ^rst feeding, the first dressing are the work of an expert. |
