From .nurse.mama
Something that is not talked about enough, but is important for every mama to know who is preparing for a belly birth, is that you could experience postpartum gas or abdominal pain from an accumulation of gas in your intestines.⁠

🤰🏼Comment and join our FREE 5-day birth experience workshop for knowledge, support, and confidence in your journey towards a positive and empowered birth. ⭐️⭐️⁠

This is one of the most overlooked complications of having a cesarean, and there are many reasons why...⁠

→ Anesthesia putting your lower organs in a passive state⁠

→ Air being trapped when your provider sews up your incision⁠

→ Being exposed to air during surgery⁠

→ Movement of the small bowels to get a better view of the uterus⁠

→ Antibiotics or pain relievers⁠

In fact, a lot of mamas complain of shoulder pain from the trapped gas. This is due to having sluggish bowel movements after surgery due to the anesthesia, which may cause gas to press on a nerve that extends to the shoulder, causing shoulder pain.⁠

I know, it's crazy to think that this all happens from having a c-section!⁠

So what can you do to manage the pain?⁠

1. Keep moving! Gentle exercises like walking or pelvic tilts can help alleviate gas and improve circulation. I highly suggest doing this as soon as you can start moving.⁠

2.. Consider using a heating pad on your belly to ease discomfort and relax your muscles.⁠

3.. Stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water can help prevent constipation and relieve bloating.⁠

4. Have your provider give you an anti-gas medication.⁠

5. Drinking tea or warm beverages- especially ginger tea can help relieve constipation and abdominal aches.⁠

6. Chewing gum. I know it sounds odd, but there were some studies done that suggest that chewing gum 3 times a day for 30 minutes each time can help your gut function better, which in turn can help with gas.⁠

Remember, give yourself time to heal and be patient with your body. You've just gone through a major surgery, and it takes time to recover fully.⁠

Did you experience gas pains after having your belly birth?

Falling asleep while you're hungry is tough, regardless of your age. Our brains recognise hunger as a priority and will stay alert until the need is met. Babies should be fed when they indicate hunger. Crying is often a late sign of hunger. 😭⁠

If a baby is hungry, they won’t go back to sleep very easily until they’ve been fed. If they nod off after five or ten minutes of crying, that’s a pretty reliable sign that they were just looking for some help getting back to sleep and not actually in need of a feed. Understanding your child’s signs is important to help you know when and how often to feed your child⁠

Here are the 3 categories of general hunger cues that you can't miss⁠

Green Early Sign- I’m Hungry⁠

💚 Smacking or licking lips⁠
⁠💚Opening and closing mouth⁠
💚 Sucking on lips, tongue, hands, fingers, toes, toys, or clothing⁠

Orange Signs – I'm Really Hungry!⁠

🧡 Rooting around on the chest of whoever is carrying him⁠
🧡 Trying to position for nursing, either by lying back or pulling on your clothes⁠
🧡 Fidgeting or squirming around a lot⁠
🧡Hitting you on the arm or chest repeatedly⁠
🧡 Fussing or breathing fast⁠

Red Late Signs- Calm me first before feeding⁠

❤️ Moving head frantically from side to side⁠
❤️ Agitated movements⁠
❤️ Frantic⁠
❤️ Crying⁠

Smooth Purees: A gentle start to their culinary journey. Offer silky blends of apples, pears, or sweet potatoes to delight their taste buds and introduce them to the world of flavours.

Lumpy Purees: Time to add some texture! Gradually transition to mashed bananas, cooked carrots, or soft peas. It's all about exploration and building their comfort with varying consistencies.

Finger Foods: Independence takes the spotlight! Watch your little rascal grasp and nibble on mini slices of avocados, steamed broccoli, or tiny pasta pieces.

Our bamboo weaning essentials are there to support and accompany these precious milestones.

While you’re trying to figure out your baby, she’s busy trying to figure out you too.⁣

A great example of just how quickly a newborn recognizes his parents, happens at the first well-baby visit. ⁣

Almost without fail, when a newborn is undressed and weighed, he’ll start to cry. I’ll try and settle the little guy by talking, shushing, and cuddling him. But if that doesn’t work, I’ll wrap him in his blanket and pass him over to his mom. The instant he’s in his moms arms, he’ll stops crying. This means a 2 or 3 day-old already recognizes and trusts his mom. ⁣

Choking hazards are the same for all kids, regardless of whether you’re doing puree feeding or baby-led weaning!⁠

Research has shown that when parents are properly educated on how to safely serve finger foods to their babies, there is no increased risk of choking compared to traditional puree feeding (1). Knowing how to set up the feeding environment and how to properly prepare foods are key to lowering your baby's risk of choking.⁠

We've got a new blog post outlining the nitty-gritty details of what constitutes a choking hazard, the different kinds of choking hazards, and how to modify them for safe consumption! ⁠

➡️ Type "CHOKING HAZARDS" on for a link to the blog. ⁠

From
Are you team purees or team baby-led weaning? Let us know 👇⁠

First off...I'm not about extremism. And let's just agree that there is no one “BEST” way to feed your baby. K?⁠

Baby-led weaning is GREAT! But people who say it's the best and only way to feed your baby are missing the point of what the research says is beneficial. It's not just about letting your baby self-feed on finger foods.

It's also about the advancement of oral motor skills ...but guess what?? The advancement of your baby's skills isn't going to happen if you're stuck giving them only soft and easy finger foods like sweet potato and avocado!

It's not going to happen if they don't get enough practice with meals or if the foods they eat are too easy.⁠

And at the same time - puree feeding is ALSO GREAT! It works better for many babies and parents in the early stages and it CAN BE DONE IN A BABY LED WAY! Let's stop pretending that parents who choose to puree/spoon-feed lack all trust and are all force-feeding their babies.

The key is once again - to let baby advance in self-feeding skills once they show they are ready and to advance to more difficult textures in a timely manner!⁠

Bottom line is...both ways can be a wonderful experience for you and your baby and both can result in healthy and happy eaters! While there's not right or wrong way to start solids...we DO want to be educated about how to do each correctly and safely...no matter what method it is. ⁠⠀⁠

➡️ If you want to move into more advanced texture and finger foods to prevent picky eating BUT you’re a little scared/worried/anxious...I’ve got a free workshop called “Baby Led Weaning…but make it purées!

How to transition from purées to finger foods without fear”. You’ll get my step-by-step method for how to confidently make the switch little by little but still in a timely manner, as well as get over your fear of gagging/choking and learn how to safely serve food based on your baby’s progress! ⁠

Who’s got a crying newborn?

I’m -parenting expert and author, with bite-sized parenting information that you can trust.

Your newborn’s cries are his way of communication.

Tune in closely so you can try to figure out what he is saying with all those whimpers and wails.

Here’s a guide:

When your baby is tired: Listen for a whiny cry that builds to a nasal continuous cry.

When your baby is hungry: Listen for short and low pitched cries that have a rhythmic rise and fall. Baby will sound like he’s pleading for food.

When your baby is bored: Listen for a cry that starts off as fussiness, turns to whimpers, and alternates with bursts of angry sounding wails.

When your baby is in pain: Listen for a very loud, sudden, panicky cry—like a shriek, followed by a pause, then another shriek, another pause, then continuing in the same pattern.

When your baby is sick: Listen for weak and lower pitched cries.

When your baby has painful gas: Listen for sudden crying accompanied by back arching.

Have you been keeping track of your baby's milestones? 📈⁠

Remember, each baby is different, so always consult your peds for advice!⁠

💗 Hi, I’m Trish, .nurse.mama, and not only am I a labor and delivery nurse, but I’m also a mom to 7 kids. Be sure to follow me for tips and resources about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. 💗⁠

These are the exciting and important moments that show your baby's growth and development.⁠

From lifting their head during tummy time to saying their first words, every baby has their own timeline of achievements. 👶🏻💬⁠

I still remember the “firsts” with all 7 of my babies. As a mama, it’s something you will always cherish. ⁠

Keep in mind that every baby is different, and some may reach certain milestones earlier or later than others. The important thing is that your little one is growing and developing.⁠

Here are some common milestones to keep an eye out for:⁠

👀 Smiling and laughing⁠

👶🏻 Holding their head up during tummy time⁠

🍼 Drinking from a bottle or breast⁠

🤲🏼 Reaching for and grabbing objects⁠

🚶🏻‍♀️ Taking their first steps⁠

Sleep... it's one of the most talked about parenting topics. How much baby should sleep, when should baby sleep, how many naps baby should take, and how long there should be between naps.

I’m , parenting and pregnancy expert, coach, and bestselling co-author of What to Expect The First Year (2/3ed). Follow me for simple, digestible parenting advice and answers to all your pregnancy and parenting questions.

I'm a big proponent of sleep for kids. The more well rested your little one is, the better behaved he will be, the fewer meltdowns and tantrums she will have, and the more able your cutie will be to learn and explore and develop.

That's why it's so important to watch for sleep cues (eye rubbing, yawning, crankies, zoning out) and to put your child in for a nap or bedtime before overtiredness hits. A baby and toddler who is always overtired will sleep less well, have more trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, and will exhibit more behavioral issues.

Here's a basic guide that can help you know when your little one is due for a nap or bedtime based on how many hours he or she has been awake. But don't use this as an absolute must-do schedule. Some children need more sleep than others and will not be able to stay awake for as long as this graphic suggests. Others will need less sleep and will do just fine with more time between naps. As with all things parenting, your baby is unique and what works for your little one is what is best for your little one.

If you’re wondering what activities you can do with your baby during their awake cycle, here are 12 fun & bonding options to enjoy with your little one!

✅ Activities are crucial during all ages including babies aged 0-6 months as they stimulate their senses, aid in motor skill development, promote cognitive growth, foster emotional bonding, encourage language acquisition, support social interaction, and contribute to overall physical health. These early experiences lay the foundation for future learning and development.
