How to achieve a great start for your breastfeeding journey. Part 2 Start feeding your baby as soon as possible after birth, preferably in the 1st hour after birth. This is the Golden hour! Even moms who deliver by Cesarean section can breastfeed soon after birth, with some help to position and hold the baby. Why is this "Golden hour" so important?? because baby is most active and eager to accept feed during this hour. After the first hour, babies tend to fall asleep and sleep for a good hour or two, maybe more. so it's important to make sure baby has had his/her first breastfeed before baby falls asleep. If you are going to have a planned C section, talk to your support team before hand and tell them that you intend to breastfeed baby ASAP after delivery and will need help for the same. Meeting with an IBCLC before your delivery and learning the necessary skills is always a good idea! #breastfeedingconsultation #breastfeedingfacts #breastfeedingsupport #breastfeedingmom

Ensure early breastfeeding initiation, preferably within the first hour after birth, known as the Golden hour. Even after a Cesarean section, breastfeeding can start with assistance. This hour is crucial as babies are most alert and receptive to feeding. Plan ahead for breastfeeding after a C-section and seek support from your healthcare team. Consulting with an IBCLC before delivery is beneficial.👍

Starting breastfeeding within the first hour after birth, known as the "Golden hour," is crucial for several reasons: Baby's Alertness: Babies are often most alert and eager to breastfeed during this time. Taking advantage of this window increases the likelihood of a successful first feed. Initiation of Breastfeeding: Early breastfeeding initiation helps stimulate milk production and establishes the baby's latch and sucking reflexes. Colostrum Intake: Colostrum, the first milk produced by the breasts, is packed with essential nutrients and antibodies crucial for the baby's immune system. Starting breastfeeding early ensures the baby receives this important first milk.

I have gone through my child's death because of premature delivery. My husband is blaming me for that and taking a divorce from me. My all inlaws are against me. After marriage my husband and in laws started mentally torturing me .Nowadays I am dealing with lots of depression and stress. I am suffering sleepless nights. Please help me. How can I overcome the depression and stress caused by my husband blaming me for our child's premature death and my in-laws' mental torture, while dealing with sleepless nights and the threat of divorce?

I'm deeply sorry to hear about the immense pain and suffering you're experiencing. t’s crucial to prioritize your mental health and well-being during this incredibly time.Establish a strong support system by reaching out to friends or family members who can offer emotional support, and consult with a lawyer to understand your rights regarding the divorce and potential legal support against the mental torture.Set clear boundaries by limiting contact with people contributing to this stress and create a comforting space for yourself, focus on future,small achievable goals.Prioritize self-care by creating a calming bedtime routine to improve your sleep quality,Incorporate mindfulness meditation and relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises to manage stress.Journaling your thoughts and feelings can be therapeutic, and practicing daily gratitude can help shift your focus towards positive aspects of your life. Pl remember healing takes time and you deserve compassion. Stay strong
First of all, please inform your family about what all is happening to you in your husband's home.. please don't hide anything. Mental stress is always fatal for the baby in the womb. How insanely toxic are the people who were troubling you even during the time of pregnancy. Also, your first focus should be you now. Please dont lose yourself in pleasing others. Make your husband understand in the presence of your Folks. And take a final decision. Never settle in the home where you fail to get basic respect. Life is not just about a toxic marriage.

Hi I want to lose my weight and please help me to motivate myself consistent. Guide me to lose weight bcoz am a mother of 14months old
Hi there, I hope you are well. - Motivation will usually last for a few days or weeks, however, discipline can last forever. - To lose weight, you will have to bring in discipline in your daily routine. - You need to prepare yourself mentally as well as physically. - Stay determined that you won't give up and start by making small changes in your routine. - Start by incorporating more fibre in the diet. Eat two servings of fruits, a bowl of salad for lunch as well as dinner daily. - Avoid packaged, ultra-processed and refined foods. - Eat in portions. - Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily. - Add protein to each of your meals, even snacks. - Have mid-meals or healthy snacks. - Start your morning with handful nuts, or seeds. - Keep a tab on your salt, sugar, and oil intake. - Have home-made meals that are easier to digest. - Get at least 7-8hrs of sleep on a regular basis. - Go for a walk at least 4 times a week. - Manage stress levels my meditation and yoga. I hope this helps ✨

Fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone, can affect the length and intensity of your menstrual flow. This can happen due to factors like stress, changes in weight, or certain medications.
It can be due to manopause.

Healthy Nutrition for My Child community profile picture
👶 Parenting

Nutrition is a corner stone for the child's physical, mental and emotional growth & development. It is crucial for the proper development of the different cognitive functions of the brain and the child's intelligence & IQ. To build a healthy long productive life, you must start early even before the child is born as the first 1000 days are crucial. It is important that the child eats all the needed food groups on a daily basis together with limiting and avoiding all those junk fast food that are eaten frequently nowadays. Understanding all different aspects of healthy eating will help parents and child caregivers make better choices for their children. When children have healthy relations with food, they can easily reduce their prevalence of many behavioral disorders and chronic diseases. التغذية هي حجر الزاوية لنمو الطفل وتطوره الجسدي والعقلي والعاطفي. وهى أمر بالغ الأهمية للتطور السليم للوظائف المعرفية المختلفة للدماغ وذكاء الطفل ومعدل الذكاء. لبناء حياة صحية طويلة ومنتجة، يجب أن تبدأ مبكراً حتى قبل ولادة الطفل لأن أول 1000 يوم تعتبر حاسمة. من المهم أن يتناول الطفل كافة المجموعات الغذائية التي يحتاجها بشكل يومي مع الحد من الوجبات السريعة التي يتم تناولها بشكل متكرر في هذه الأيام وتجنبها. إن فهم جميع الجوانب المختلفة للأكل الصحي سيساعد الآباء ومقدمي رعاية الأطفال على اتخاذ خيارات أفضل لأطفالهم. عندما يتمتع الأطفال بعلاقات صحية مع الطعام، يمكنهم بسهولة تقليل انتشار العديد من الاضطرابات السلوكية والأمراض المزمنة لديهم.more
