Five Rules for New Mothers 1. Wear your pajamas for two weeks (unless it is to go around the block for a short walk). 2. Don’t touch money or a credit card for six weeks. 3. Once you are sure your baby is gaining weight, never wake a sleeping baby. 4. Accept all offers of food delivery from people able and willing to leave food at your door without a real visit. 5. Don’t worry about creating habits in your baby for the long run. Newborn Care: Bathing Your Baby If you give birth in a hospital, you can request that the nurses not bathe your baby. At the teaching hospital near me, this is becoming more and more common. In the first day or two of life, if you’ve declined a bath for your baby, you may want to rub the vernix coating into the baby’s skin and simply wet-towel off any blood or other fluids, especially from the hair. Then, if you want to wait a few days to a week for a full bath, that is absolutely fine. Babies are not actually 'dirty' and they have no way to accumulate dirt in their first weeks of life, so they do not require much bathing for cleanliness. You likely clean her private area several times a day as you diaper, anyway. Some parents love giving their baby a bath in a special tub, or in the kitchen sink, as part of a bedtime routine. Partners are especially good at handling this often-lovely experience. Long Car Trip Tips Plan on the trip taking significantly longer than Google Maps predicts. Break trips into shorter legs. Pump gas while your baby is awake so you can drive through long sleeping periods without stopping. Think about what time of day you will drive: Evening and night drives can be great. If you have two drivers, plan to spend part of the trip in the backseat, near the baby. Hypothetical Perfect Parents Do not get offended when their grown children take time alone or away from them. They respect that their adult children need privacy and space. Do not keep tabs on who is invited and who is left out of anything. They trust the new parents to decide how and when to include relatives and friends. Offer to help whenever they can, but are open to their adult children’s requests that their help come in a different form than originally offered. Offer advice when asked, but say nothing if not asked. Are willing to learn how the parents do things instead of rigidly insisting their own way is better. Remember to pamper and care for the new parents as much as the new baby.
