Kungakhathaliseki ukuba yehla njani, ukuzisa umntwana emhlabeni ngumsebenzi we-herculean kwaye intle kakhulu i-pinacle ye-badassery. Kwaye ngoku ubeleke phantsi kwebhanti lakho, ungenza nantoni na, akukho nto inokukothusa, ungumfazi obalaseleyo… akunjalo? Ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa ke kutheni zonke izinto ezincinci ziziva zoyikeka ngalo lonke ixesha?
Thatha, umzekelo, isenzo sokuhlamba usana lwakho lokuqala. Kwelinye icala, ngaba abantwana abacocekanga ngokwendalo? Kwelinye icala, usandula ukubuya esibhedlele kwaye elo bala kwiduvet yakho ngokuqinisekileyo ayisiyiyo imastade . Ukuba uyoyika ukuba uphumelele i-Newborn Care 101 ngemibala ephaphazelayo, kodwa akukho nanye ebuyela kuwe, ungakhathazeki. AWUKHO wedwa. Kunzima, siyayifumana. Kwaye malunga naloo mibuzo ngexesha lokuhlamba: Sinako ukunceda. Qhubeka ufunda ngayo yonke into ekufuneka uyazi malunga nokuhlamba usana lwakho, emva koko ubuyele ku-googling duvet indawo yokucoca.

Mhlawumbi uneenyawo ezibandayo xa kuziwa ekuhlambeni umntwana wakho osanda kuzalwa. Iindaba ezimnandi: Awudingi ukuba uzive ungalunganga, kuba ayisiyiyo yonke into engxamisekileyo. Enyanisweni, kukho izizathu ezinyanzelisayo zokuyeka ukuhlamba ekuqaleni.Ngokutsho kwe-American Academy of Pediatrics isithethi uWhitney Casares, MD, MPH, FAAP, umbhali we Isicwangciso Esitsha soSana .
Iintsana azifuni kuhlamba kwiiveki ezimbalwa zokuqala zobomi. Abayifumani nje loo nto imdaka. Ngokucacileyo kufuneka sicoce amazantsi abo xa behlamba kwaye babone ulusu lwabo lucocekile ukuba lutshicelwe kwimingxuma yabo, kodwa kungenjalo, ukuvumela ulusu lomntwana ukuba luqhelane nelizwe langaphandle kwiiveki ezimbalwa ngaphandle kokuhlamba kungcono. Ikhuthaza ukuphiliswa kwentambo ye-umbilical kwaye inciphisa ukudibanisa nezinto ezinokucaphukisa. Ndicebisa izigulane zam ukuba zilinde ukuhlamba ngokupheleleyo kude kube ziintsuku ezininzi emva kokuwa kwentambo ye-umbilical, ngokuqhelekileyo malunga neveki enye ukuya kwiiveki ezimbini.
Iyathuthuzela, akunjalo? Kwaye, ukuba ufunda oku kwezi veki zimbalwa zokuqala, kukho ithuba elihle wena ufuna ukukhuhla ngaphantsi kunomntwana wakho. Ke zinike ishawa yokwenyani, thatha ibhafu yokuphumla yeqamza kwaye usebenzise zonke iisepha kunye nezinto zokuthambisa. Ngokubhekiselele kwimveku yakho, yigcine ilula ngokutsiba ukuhlamba, kodwa usule umntwana wakho ngokucokisekileyo kulo lonke utshintsho lwe-diaper. Kanye ngemini, sebenzisa ilaphu lokuhlamba elifudumeleyo nelimanzi (akukho sepha iyimfuneko) ukucoca ngobunono ezo ntsongo zentamo kunye nezidlele zombini. Eli candelo lesibini unokukhetha ukulenza ngaphambi kokuba ulale, kuba ayisoze yakhawuleza ukuba uqalise ukwakha indlela yokulala (uya kufuna ukuba nayo xa ivaliwe xa usemncinci).
Ukuba le ndlela yokucoca indawo ayikwenzeli oko kwaye ufuna ukuhamba imayile eyongezelelweyo, ungacinga ngebhafu yesiponji, enentsimbi kunye neempempe zokuhlambela rhoqo (kukho amanzi amaninzi abandakanyekayo, onke amalungu omzimba ayakufumana zihlanjiwe), ngelixa usahlonipha umthetho oyintloko wokuhlamba umntwana osaqalayo: musa ukusintywilisela eso siphunzi senkaba! Khumbula nje ukuba nangona ukuhlamba isiponji kunokubhenela utyekelo lwakho lokuphumelela (siyakubona, Virgo), akufuneki ukuba lwenziwe ngaphezu kwezihlandlo ezithathu ngeveki, njengoko ulusu olusandul’ ukuzalwa lubuthathaka kwaye luthanda ukomisa nokucaphuka.

1. Khetha indawo okuyoKhetha indawo yakho yokusebenza-ufuna ukuba umntwana wakho alale kwindawo ethe tyaba kodwa ekhululekile kwigumbi elifudumeleyo. (Iingcali ezininzi ziyavuma ukuba ubushushu obufanelekileyo begumbi lomntwana buphakathi kwama-68 nama-72 degrees.) Ungazalisa isinki yakho yasekhitshini ngamanzi kwaye usebenzise i-countertop, kodwa neentsana ezisandul’ ukuzalwa zinokugxampuza ukusuka kwindawo ephakamileyo, ngoko kuya kufuneka gcina isandla esinye kumzimba womntwana wakho kuyo yonke le nkqubo. Awuqinisekanga ukuba unalo idigri ye-dexterity okwangoku? Ulibale isitya kwaye ukhethe isitya samanzi endaweni yoko-iphedi yokutshintsha okanye ingubo eyongezelelweyo emgangathweni iya kwenza kakuhle umntwana kwaye wenze izinto zibe lula kuwe.
2. Lungisa ibhafu
Gcwalisa isinki yakho okanye isitya samanzi ngamanzi angenasepha, ashushu. Gcina ukhumbule ukuba ulusu lomntwana wakho lubuthathaka kakhulu, ngoko ke ukufudumala kuthetha ukuba buthathaka kule meko. Xa uvavanya amanzi, yenza njalo ngengqiniba yakho endaweni yesandla sakho—ukuba ayishushu yaye ayibanda, ilungile. (Ewe, Goldilocks.) Usenoloyiko malunga nokufumana iqondo lobushushu elichanekileyo? Ungathenga a ithemometha ebhafini ukuqinisekisa ukuba amanzi ahlala kwindawo ye-100 degree.
3. Gcina isitishi sakho
Ngoku ukuba amanzi akho elungile, kufuneka uqokelele ezinye izinto ezimbalwa kwaye uqiniseke ukuba zonke zikufuphi nengalo:
- Ilaphu lokuhlamba elithambileyo okanye isipontshi, kwisitya sakho samanzi
- Iitawuli ezimbini: Enye yeyokomisa usana lwakho, kwaye eyesibini xa uthe ngempazamo uyicwilise eyokuqala
- I-diaper, ozikhethelayo (Usanda kuhlamba isipontshi sakho sokuqala, kwaye intshukumo yamathumbu engalindelekanga inokukhupha umoya kwiiseyile zakho.)
4. Hlamba umntwana
Emva kokuba ukhulule umntwana wakho osanda kuzalwa, msongele ngengubo ukuze umgcine efudumele kuyo yonke inkqubo kwaye umlalise kwindawo yakho yokuhlamba ekhethiweyo. Qala ngokuhlamba ubuso bomntwana wakho-qiniseka nje ukuba usula i-washcloth okanye isiponji ukuze kungabikho manzi angena empumlweni yakhe, emehlweni okanye emlonyeni-kwaye usebenzise itawuli ukumbamba ngobunono. Shenxisa ingubo ezantsi ukuze umzimba wakhe ongaphezulu ubonakale kodwa umzimba ongezantsi usabotshiwe kwaye ushushu. Ngoku ungahlamba intamo yakhe, i-torso kunye neengalo. Pat yome kwaye usonge umzimba wakhe ongaphezulu ngengubo ngaphambi kokudlulela kumalungu angasese, emazantsi nasemilenzeni. Emva kokuba indawo yokuhlambela yenziwe (khumbula, akukho sepha!), nika usana lwakho omnye umjikelo wokomisa itawuli ngokuthambileyo, ugxininise kakhulu kumarhashalala nokugobeka kwesikhumba apho irhashalala elifana negwele lidla ngokukhula xa lishiywe limanzi.

Emva kokuba ufunde kakuhle isiponji sokuhlambela (okanye mhlawumbi usitsibe ngokupheleleyo) kwaye intambo ye-umbilical ipholile, unokuzibuza ukuba kufuneka uhlambe kangaphi umntwana wakho. Iindaba ezilungileyo? Iimfuno zokuhlambela zosana lwakho azihlukanga kakhulu kuneveki enye ubudala. Enyanisweni, uluvo oluphambili kukuba umntwana akafuni ngaphezu kweebhafu ezintathu ngeveki kunyaka wokuqala wobomi.
I-Sasiistock/imifanekiso ye-gettyYintoni endiyidingayo ukuyazi malunga nokuhlamba okuqhelekileyo kokuqala?
Iziseko:Xa ulungele ukunika umntwana wakho ibhafu yokwenyani-ngokuqhelekileyo malunga nenyanga enye ubudala-qiniseka ukuba unayo ibhafu efanelekileyo yomsebenzi. I-tub yeentsana iluncedo kakhulu (siyayithanda i-Boon 2-Position Tub, egoqayo ukuze igcinwe lula kwiindawo ezincinci), kodwa ungasebenzisa i-sink. Ngaphandle kokuba nawe uyangena, kunqanda ukusebenzisa ibhafu egcwele ubungakanani. Xa ugcwalisa ibhafu, ncamathela ngamanzi angenasepha, kwaye ulandele izikhokelo zobushushu ezibekelwe ibhafu yesipontshi. Amanzi anokuba mnandi kakhulu, ngoko ke nakwibhafu yosana, kuya kufuneka ugcine isandla esinye kusana lwakho--nokuba ukhaba imilenze yakhe ngokuchwayita okanye uqhankqalaza ngokunyanisekileyo, kuya kubakho umzuzwana xa kufuneka isandla esizinzisayo.
Ukumisela umoya:
Ngaphaya koko, yonwabele ukubukela indlela umntwana wakho asabela ngayo kumava akhe okuqala okuhlamba kwaye ukhumbule ukuba akukho mfuneko yokuba uyiphucule ngalo naluphi na ulonwabo olongezelelweyo. Ngapha koko, yonke into intsha kwaye iyamangalisa kwaye iyavuselela ngoku (inqanaba elisanda kuzalwa ngokusisiseko luhambo oluphambeneyo lweasidi wonke umntu analo kodwa akukho mntu ulukhumbulayo) kwaye eyona nto ingcono kakhulu yokubheja kukudala indawo ezolileyo, engathathi hlangothi kwidiphu yakhe yokuqala ebhafini. Uvavanya ngokoqobo amanzi, ngoko ke gcina iibhafu zifutshane kwaye zimnandi, kwaye ukuba umntwana wakho uyacaphuka ekuqaleni, akukho mfuneko yokumnyanzela. Fumana ingqondo ukuba akayiyo yonke loo nto? Zama ukungena ebhafini kunye naye kwixesha elizayo ukuze ufumane umanyano olongezelelweyo kunye nentuthuzelo ngelixa eqhelanisa namava.
