How to alleviate the anxiety of new mothers? For novice mothers, they may not be able to switch to the role of mother quickly for a while and become anxious. So, do you know how to ease the anxiety of new mothers? Come and have a look with me!
How to alleviate the anxiety of new mothers 1 Being a mother is the happiest time for every woman. Looking at the baby asleep in his arms is really too cured, and everything can be forgotten. But at the same time, for novice mothers, they may not be able to switch to the role of mother quickly for a while and become anxious. In order to make mothers adapt to this role more quickly, these points should be done well.
1, breastfeeding mode
Breastfeeding a baby should be a very enjoyable thing, but many times it is very painful for a mother. Because the baby will pull the mother's nipple when eating, causing pain, and the chest will sag and deform due to improper postpartum breast care, which makes Amy's mothers very upset. Therefore, in order to make mothers have a comfortable breastfeeding experience, you can choose to use a breast pump at this time, which can effectively repair and relieve breast damage and also make your baby full. It can be said that it is a necessary artifact for novice mothers.
2. Sleep quality
When the mother basically has no time for herself, all her energy is spent on the cycle mode of breastfeeding, changing diapers and putting the baby to sleep. Serious lack of sleep, dizziness, foot weakness, easy to depression and anxiety. At this time, mothers can ask their families for help and help them release inappropriate emotions. Don't put all the burdens on yourself, let the family divide the work reasonably, and the family will take turns to take care of the baby, so that the baby can have more rest time, ensure enough sleep and have a good mental state.
Step 3 eat a reasonable diet
Mothers have a common problem, that is, they are afraid that their babies will not eat well. For lactating mothers, they unconsciously eat a lot of high-fat and high-protein foods, and the result is heavy feeding. Mothers will compare their bloated bodies with their small waists before pregnancy, which will inevitably lead to a sense of gap. As long as mothers usually follow the principle of light and diversified nutrition, eat more vegetables to promote digestion and defecation, and defecate smoothly, they can avoid the "small belly" caused by constipation and defecation, thus restoring self-confidence and integrating into the role of mothers more quickly.
Step 4 Exercise properly
After giving birth to a baby, most mothers will choose to stay in bed because they are weak, but this does not mean staying in bed all day. Proper postpartum exercise is also very important, which can make the mother's body return to the state before giving birth to the baby more quickly. Of course, it is also important to choose the right exercise mode. Because the body is in a weak state in the second month, the activity should be mainly slow and moderate, not strenuous exercise. After your body recovers slowly, you can do some yoga and swimming, but you should also do what you can according to your physical condition. Regular exercise can make mom feel more relaxed and help her sleep.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, so don't worry. I believe that after getting along with your baby day and night, you will soon realize your importance, and at this time you will have a strong sense of satisfaction because of your baby's dependence on yourself.
How to alleviate the anxiety of new mothers? Grow up a child, make a happy family and influence a society.
I felt uneasy and happy when I held my newborn baby for the first time. This young life will depend entirely on our parents, and we never seem ready.
Eating and drinking Lazarus and physical problems can basically be done by doctors outside and instinct inside. However, how to deal with the mental problems he will inevitably encounter in the process of growing up?
How to build children's sense of security and intimacy?
If we give him everything he wants and comfort him in time, will it lead him to rely too much on his parents and become a treasure?
If we are separated from each other since childhood, will it lead to his lack of love and security?
When did we start to give him aesthetic enlightenment, English enlightenment and cognitive enlightenment? And financial and business enlightenment? What should we do? Is it to sign up for class or to rely on yourself?
Will our relationship be affected after having children? What if old people have different ideas about taking care of children?
……
Among them, psychology, medicine, nutrition, education, aesthetics, science, English, economics, finance ... are basically the knowledge of human civilization, so think about it.
Of course, we can "let nature take its course" and eventually the child will grow up, but we never know how many possibilities he missed during this period and how many "injuries" we unconsciously caused him.
The strange circle of parenting anxiety
Anxiety 1:
Just over a hundred days later, the baby began to worry about whether it was slow. At the beginning of each month, we must measure on weighing scale, and calculate the nap time on time every day.
"Hey? This month's weight gain is not more than last month, and today's nap is not as long as yesterday ... "
As last month, unhappy; Not the same as yesterday, unhappy. As long as it is slightly different from the data indicators, it will be anxious.
Anxiety 2:
When you get home after working overtime late at night, you should study hard, watch for a while and teach early.
According to the book, foreign babies start attending nursery schools when they are as young as six months old. ...
So early? Really, but didn't China say that it is best for mothers to take care of babies before the age of 3? Which is right and better for the baby's growth?
The more I think about it, the more I can't sleep, insomnia and hair loss, and I can't concentrate on my work during the day.
Anxiety 3:
Every time the baby eats and sleeps, we have to fight a war of words with the elders at home.
Old man: "Baby food supplement is tasteless. You have to add some salt. "
Dad/Mom: "No, experts say that babies can't eat salt until they are 1 year old."
Old man: "Hey, how can a baby sleep without a pillow?" How uncomfortable that is! "
Mom/Dad: "No, no, no, the baby's neck is not straight yet, so you can't use the pillow now."
Old man: "As far as you know! Everything the experts say is right, right? I didn't bring you all well, and parenting depends on experience. "
Different parenting concepts make everyone very unhappy. Is this … really because you are too nervous?
1. Babies don't sleep by themselves.
How much do I dislike the fact that children sleep?
Yes! Humans standing at the top of the food chain, their babies can't control themselves! He himself! Sleep! Sleep!
Dogs, kittens and bugs, which one is sleepy and doesn't sleep? However, the baby can't. Sleeping by yourself is not an innate ability. They have to sleep for a long time while breastfeeding, cuddling, patting and even relying on external forces.
As long as the child sleeps well, the mother can have a good rest, and everything will be fine. You see those families who say it's easy to take care of their babies, and basically there is no sleep problem.
I want to say a few words to the expectant mother who is still pregnant. If you know something about infant sleep, you can step on the pit less and take fewer detours. Even if you have residual sleep, you can at least do it without anxiety or panic.
2, breastfeeding, no need to force.
Novice mothers' obsession with breast milk is like a parabola, which rises continuously during pregnancy and reaches its peak after delivery, but becomes more and more casual as children grow up.
Looking back, I found that it really doesn't matter whether breast milk is fed, pure breast milk or mixed breast milk, and how long breast milk is fed.
There are various ways to feed tigers, none of which can be controlled by the mother's will alone. Even if breastfeeding is successful, night care and back care are still difficult and need to be carried by the mother alone.
Any mother's first choice is breast milk. If you can insist, please insist.
However, if mothers have tried their best, please put down your obsession and don't blame yourself. You should be proud of yourself, and your family should be more understanding and considerate.
We really don't need to be kidnapped by such remarks as "breast-fed children are smarter", "breast-fed children will not get sick" and "breast-fed parent-child relationship is better".
Motherly love can be fulfilled in a lifetime.
3, giving birth to a child is a demon mirror.
No matter how harmonious the family relationship is, it will be returned to its original shape by the baby.
Giving birth to a child is like looking into a magic mirror, revealing the real relationship between husband and wife and naked family conflicts.
No matter how much you hold in your hand before giving birth, whether you are a mother, a straight man or an invisible man after giving birth, you will show your true colors;
Prenatal sweet words are icing on the cake, and postpartum relief and companionship are timely help;
It is false to publicize how much you like children before delivery, and true love is to take care of children after delivery.
After giving birth to children, some husbands became teammates and some wives became widows.
Therefore, novice mothers should not have too high illusions about postpartum family relations, and do a good job in psychological construction to avoid collapse and confusion in helplessness.
4. Do your best and follow your destiny.
To be the best is not to be demanding perfection in everything, do your best and have a clear conscience.
We are walking on thin ice with overwhelming parenting advice, demanding perfection. In fact, after a long time, you will find that children's adaptability is very strong, and many things are accepted much faster than we thought.
To say the least, what about nipple confusion? What if you just want to eat one bottle? Eating formula after weaning can make children grow well. So what if the pacifier depends on it? I quit when I get old. Have you ever seen a kindergarten child still holding a pacifier every day? Crying a few times will not leave a shadow of childhood, nor will it develop into emotional disorder and antisocial personality when you grow up.
Children's development cannot be affected by a few things. Even eating steamed bread for a week will not affect their growth and development. Walking late doesn't mean they have poor athletic ability. If they don't buy Lego, they won't be admitted to the university.
A child's growth is like a small sapling slowly growing into a big tree. What makes you anxious is just a few leaves and branches.
I know everything, but it is easy for new mothers to walk into a dead end and compete with themselves.
I used to be myself, but this time, I will say a word to myself:
Mother's feelings are greater than baby's;
You don't have to be a perfect mother, just be a real mother.
Looking back, it's always easy, but which mother doesn't cross the river by feeling the stones and relieve herself at the same time?
Perhaps only after the precipitation of years, the change of thinking mode and the broadening of horizons can the mentality be gradually relieved.
May those straws that almost crushed you be laughed at now.
