KEEP YOUR COOL WITH YOUR BRAND NEW BABY

Congratulations!!! The greetings flow from everywhere, you are all smiles when you hear them. But the moment your baby cries, you freak out!! Its a li'l comforting to Mom when the husband doesnot feel nervous, but if both parents are nervous freaks, the house is a big mess.

Trust me..its the same with most of us, but feeling the tension is not the solution atall. Keep your cool, maintain a smile, let not your baby know you are tensed. One reason traditionally elders' presence is so mandatory before and after the delivery, is that Grandma has a comforting suggestion for everything.

Few points where you can listen to the GrandMother without running to the Doctor everytime.

When the baby vomits milk often..its normal for babies to spit milk, they are still learning to swallow food. He/she will slowly get used to gulping liquids and later solids.

When the baby cries/ frets during Poop time!!...again, babies are not used it, thier body reacts to the process, some babies cry , others make loud, drawn out sounds...nothing to panic, they will learn to handle it.

Cry and cry,...either the room temperature is hot or cold, the diaper is soiled, the baby is hungry, sleepy, bored of staying in the same room..check for these things always everytime the baby cries..even otherwise, babies have been cuddled up in tummy until now, suddenly their feet and hands are let loose, which makes them uncomfortable...swaddle the baby and lull him/her to sleep. they are so used to that rocking movement in Mom's tummy..they will sleep.

Following Granny's advice most of the times will save you a trip and money to the Doctor. However, you try all these, still you feel something's wrong, then better call the Doctor's office and get help.
