Woman after childbirth - uterus and discharge

During childbirth, the energy-informational structures of mother and child are separated. At this time, the child’s internal organs acquire their own energy shells. These shells are copied from the mother’s, and, going to the newborn child, they take away part of the mother’s energy.

Of course, ideally, the energy of the birth stream should be absorbed by both the mother, the child, and everyone present. But, alas, this is practically unattainable due to our monstrous degradation, which is why this very rehabilitation becomes necessary.

Program and terms of complete rehabilitation after childbirth

The main part of postpartum rehabilitation is replenishing vitality. For this purpose, you can use the same saturation exercises that were given in classes to prepare for childbirth. If you remember, we gave them, among other things, to facilitate rehabilitation after childbirth.

The peculiarity of performing these exercises in the postpartum period is that, especially at first, practically nothing is felt. This occurs due to the loss of the etheric component of the very organs that are responsible for subtle sensitivity. It turns out that a woman must practice for some time as if blindly or, if you like, “deafly”. In this situation, it is extremely important to show confidence in the final result and patience. If, without delay, you start exercising from the very first hours after giving birth and use every opportunity for this, then the potential of your vitality will be restored in three to four months. If you start taking care of yourself two weeks after giving birth, the recovery process threatens to drag on for a year or the rest of your life.

Early postpartum period

The early postpartum period usually lasts 2 to 4 hours after the placenta has been delivered. During these hours, the mother should be under the supervision of a doctor and midwife. The obstetrician should monitor the woman's blood pressure, uterine contractions, and secretions.

Postpartum complications are usually encountered in the first 2-4 hours, so the woman needs strict monitoring of her condition. The doctor must examine the uterus using special gynecological mirrors and assess the condition of the perineum. Inspection of the birth canal in the early postpartum period is mandatory. If necessary, he stitches up injuries received during childbirth.

All information about the condition of the woman giving birth and about the birth is recorded in the birth history.

During the normal postpartum period, a woman feels extremely tired, but it is strictly forbidden to allow her to sleep. This can lead to uterine hypotension.

Specific conditions of a woman after childbirth

Many phenomena described by medical science as natural for a woman in the postpartum period are simply a consequence of a lack of energy resources.

If there is only enough strength to pay due attention to the child, feeding and caring for him, then they speak of the so-called dominant according to Usoltseva. The essence of this myth is that during breastfeeding (7-14 months) a woman can no longer pay attention to anything as before. She is not interested in sex, she is less attentive to her husband and household, she is not interested in social life, professional activities and politics. It's hard to accept that this is normal.

Ideally, everything should be the other way around. A female with a baby needs more protection, therefore, after the birth of a child, a woman should develop more extensive survival abilities - she has to survive for two. The main qualities that increase a woman’s survival are high sensitivity, charm and sexuality, observation and curiosity. All these and many other feminine things should simply blossom in a young mother.

Alas, the ideal is difficult to achieve. In this part of my story, I will touch on some of the most common postpartum specific conditions. Perhaps one of the readers is now in one of them, and this will help her overcome them.

State of "cow". This condition is described above. Such a “cow period” often occurs in those women who have everything in order with their basic instincts, but do not have enough energy for much.

The recipe for getting out is simple: push yourself - you will definitely succeed. Just force yourself to live as actively, and maybe more actively, than before. At first it will be annoying, but then the scales will fall from your eyes, and you will not regret the effort.

Postpartum depression. Characterized by loss of interest in everything around him, including the child. The woman remembers how good it was without him, regrets missed opportunities, and is burdened by maternal responsibilities. At the same time, milk often begins to disappear. Everything is annoying, especially children's screams. There are frequent thoughts about killing a baby, which give rise to pangs of conscience and further deepen depression and irritability.

The condition often occurs in young mothers with an underdeveloped psyche. Infancy greatly facilitates conception, but after childbirth it can play a cruel joke on us. Depression overtakes those who have finally begun to grow up as a result of childbirth, but have not yet completed this process.

The main difficulty in correcting this condition is that both the woman and her immediate environment are in no way ready to agree that it is present. They come up with a lot of reasons why there is no milk, and a million ways to increase milk yield. There are culprits on the side, etc.

It’s easier to get out of postpartum depression if you don’t have new grandmothers to help you. In addition to restoring energy, you also need to take care of growing up. To do this, I recommend that the child’s father simply let the girl “go for a walk” for a while. Having tried to fit into her prenatal format and felt how much her psyche has changed, she will gain a completely new experience of communicating with the outside world, which will make it easier to adapt to new living conditions.

"Splash of sexuality." Happens to those who did not fall into the “cow” group due to the greater amount of retained strength. It happens that these forces are enough for one more thing. Most often, fortunately, this “one thing” is sexual activity. Such women often do not even wait until the end of the “required” two months of postpartum abstinence. There is nothing scary about this, except for the danger of getting pregnant a second time and giving birth to children the same age. In addition, if you get carried away by sexual activity, you can accidentally deprive your child, which you will later regret.

In this case, I recommend using part of the unspent energy to quickly recover completely. The fact is that a “burst” indicates that there is more energy than little, but less than enough energy so as not to waste it. In this case, a sexual storm can unexpectedly turn into the same postpartum depression.

And of course, I inform everyone that the absence of menstruation does not mean that it is impossible to get pregnant.

Suspiciousness and anxiety. This state is akin to a sexual outburst, with the only difference being that in this case the excess “hits the head” and not its opposite.

With skillful handling, this condition can easily be transformed into the one described above. Still, dealing with the “surge” is both easier and more pleasant. Excessive suspiciousness can end disastrously.

This condition usually manifests itself in educated and intelligent mothers and consists of a woman showing increased attention to the child, excessive concern and an obsessive desire to show him to doctors or consult with specialists on other issues. Mothers in such a pathological condition constantly find out various criteria for assessing the child’s health and development. They compare their child with the children of their acquaintances, often without going deeper into determining the age, and also correlate the results of their observations with the stories of their acquaintances about children they saw somewhere of approximately the same age. Any information received is perceived a priori negatively and causes a feeling of anxiety for the child and fear of some kind of disease.

This condition can be corrected with great difficulty, but it is still worth fighting, since it threatens the health and life of the baby. There aren't many options for fighting, though. If reorientation to sexuality does not work and long country walks with swimming in natural reservoirs, regardless of the weather, do not help, it is better to contact a specialist, that is, a spiritual obstetrician.

Another equally important part of the rehabilitation program is adaptation to life in a new quality . This process can be conditionally divided into two parallel ones. To create a new physical form and master a new way of mental response , in other words, to get used to a new role.

- mommy!

How to behave correctly after childbirth The birth of a child is an important event in a woman’s life! Pregnancy and childbirth are over, now you can rest and raise your baby. However, everything is not as simple as it may seem. Unfortunately, not many women have an idea of what the postpartum period is, why it is so important, and how the body reacts during the recovery period. I, as a specialist in this field, would like to tell you about this, and, as an already successful mother, share my experience.

Behavior after childbirth

The postpartum period begins from the moment of birth of the placenta and ends after 6-8 weeks . In the first days, the uterus actively contracts to its original size, hormonal levels change, and the load on the body increases. At this time, it is very important to monitor your condition - physical and moral. You need to get used to the fact that in your life, in addition to your husband, there is also a small creature who constantly requires attention to himself. Often the “period of maternal adaptation” can pass with negative emotions. To help yourself get through this difficult period, you can do the following:

1) Stay a woman. You need to devote at least 10-15 minutes a day to your loved one. After all, it’s not at all difficult to do a neat hairstyle, apply light makeup (you can do without it), and dress neatly. It is important for a woman to please not only her beloved man, but also herself. 2) Don't refuse help. In the first weeks after childbirth, a woman needs rest more than ever. Let one of your relatives help with the housework and take the baby for a walk. The husband should especially be involved in this process. Share housework and childcare responsibilities with him. 3) Communicate with your husband. Having become parents, a man and a woman do not immediately get used to their new roles, but communication with each other helps them get used to it faster. It’s worth sharing the most important thoughts with your husband, telling your experiences, and asking how he’s doing as a dad. 4) Spend more time with your child. It is necessary to be one with the child, learn to understand his condition and needs. At the initial stage, he doesn’t need much: to eat, sleep and be clean and dry. Conversations with the baby also have a beneficial effect on the psycho-emotional state of the mother and, of course, the child himself.

Observation of the body, secretions, well-being

Discharge . During the first 10-12 days after birth, the fundus of the uterus drops by an average of 2 cm per day, and its contraction occurs. The uterine cavity is a wound surface, and its healing is accompanied by the release of wound secretochia. In the first 3-5 days, the lochia is bloody, then it becomes lighter and scarcer, and by the end of 5-6 weeks it practically ceases to be secreted. It is important to monitor the nature of the discharge! If you are concerned about an unpleasant odor, itching, or excessive amounts, it is better to consult a doctor. Most likely it is an infection.

Vagina and perineum . It is not uncommon for ruptures and abrasions of the cervix, vaginal walls and perineum to occur during childbirth. They heal within a few days. If stitches are applied, healing occurs faster. If the doctor has forbidden you to sit for 2-3 weeks, you should not neglect his recommendation, as the sutures may become separated and become inflamed.

Mammary gland

. Often before giving birth or long before, women notice a pale yellow discharge from the breast - colostrum. It continues 2-3 days after birth, then milk begins to be produced. Breast milk is enriched with all the necessary vitamins and elements for the health, growth and development of the child, so it is very important to maintain breastfeeding for as long as possible and approach this with full responsibility. If you have problems with a lack of milk, or are unable to attach your baby to the breast correctly, contact a breastfeeding specialist. They will give useful recommendations and help you establish breastfeeding.

Postpartum pain . All the joy of motherhood can be slightly overshadowed by postpartum pain. They can occur in the back, chest, abdomen, perineum, and pubic area. This is a completely normal phenomenon, since the body has been subjected to severe stress and physical strain. The pain goes away 1-2 weeks after birth. However, if the pain is severe, bothersome and lasts longer than this time, you should consult a doctor to identify and eliminate its causes. If necessary, painkillers are prescribed.

Postpartum hygiene

To prevent infectious diseases and complications of the postpartum period, you should carefully observe hygiene:

1. A woman should take a shower daily (preferably 2 times a day), wash her mammary glands before and after feeding. 2. Wash your hands with soap as often as possible. 3. Wash after each visit to the toilet (this should be done with warm water and soap) and changing pads. 4. Keep the gaskets clean. It is best to change them after 3-4 hours. 5. If there are seams on the perineum, then a thorough toilet should be performed before processing them. After washing, you need to dry the perineum and the area of the seams with a towel. 6. Underwear should be cotton and should be changed daily. 7. To avoid constipation, you should empty your bowels daily. Many women have a fear of going to the toilet due to fear of pain. In this case, you need to drink as much liquid as possible, and before eating, a spoonful of vegetable oil. The stool softens and does not cause discomfort.

Sex after childbirth

Many couples have a question: when can you resume sexual activity after childbirth? Not earlier than in 6-8 weeks. This recommendation is due to the fact that by the end of this period the uterus returns to its original size, the wound surface and sutures heal, and the vagina returns to normal after severe stretching. To avoid infection and discomfort, you should not start having sex earlier than the recommended time.

A little from my own experience and advice for those giving birth

Already in the maternity hospital, I realized how dramatically my life had changed. Exhausted after giving birth, I was so happy that a little lump was quietly sniffling next to me! I wanted to return home quickly and share this joy with my husband.

Every child is a whole world. All children are different: some are calm from birth, crying only when they need to eat or change a diaper; There are kids who scream endlessly and don’t let their mother leave them even a step. My daughter was someone in the middle when she was a baby. Often I could do all the housework and still have time to take care of myself. But sometimes we could stay up half the night because the child constantly needed to eat or just be in his mother’s arms. Accordingly, during the day there was no question of any cleaning, much less time for oneself; I really wanted to sleep. But many thanks to my mother and husband, who came to the rescue. I was able to relax and have time to do household chores. Therefore, my postpartum period was quite calm.

I would like to give some advice to new mothers, as well as those who are waiting for a small miracle:

1. If you have no one to help you, try to properly distribute time and household chores. 2. Prepare food for 2-3 days so you don’t have to stand at the stove every day. 3. If there are assistants, give some of the responsibilities to them. 4. Find time to exercise (no earlier than 1.5-2 months after giving birth). They help you get yourself in order and stay in good shape. 5. For the first month, you will have to follow a special diet so that breastfeeding does not cause problems for the child. Then you can introduce different foods into your diet a little at a time. Of course, you shouldn’t overindulge in food, overeat with all sorts of chips and cakes, but eat a balanced and healthy diet. 6. Communicate more with your husband, family, friends, and so on. If you have the opportunity to leave your child for an hour or two, use it. 7. Take time for yourself. Go to a beauty salon, buy new clothes, cosmetics, do everything that brings you joy and pleasure. 8. Listen to the advice of others, but at the same time, have your own opinion. Advice may not always be correct or useful. Everything is different for each person.

Know that all these are ridiculous prejudices that life ends after childbirth. It continues, and what it will be depends on your attitude. Enjoy motherhood and don't forget about yourself!

Creating a new physical shape after childbirth

First of all, you need to understand the difference between restoring a form and creating a new one.

After childbirth, a woman is not able to restore her former shape. There is simply nothing to restore. The process of global transformation forever destroyed the organism that existed before pregnancy. Everyone knows that some women after childbirth gain a lot of weight and acquire an incredible number of different diseases. This is precisely the result of an attempt to restore something that no longer exists.

Exercise and diet are not so important in this process. The first thing to do is to change consciousness. Realize that everything that happened cannot be returned, and boldly and decisively start everything from the very beginning.

You need to relearn your body. Identify new preferences and reactions. Restore lost sensitivity. In general, do the same thing that a child does throughout the first year of his life.

Then, using the perception and response skills acquired in preparation for childbirth, enter a new type of nutrition and physical activity.

The fact is that in the first two years after giving birth, a woman’s energy has a number of significant differences from everything she had to deal with before. First of all, changes are associated with the need to spend energy not only on oneself, but also on the child, on his protection, training and formation. Naturally, all the mechanisms that ensure the new mode of functioning are written in the species consciousness and do not depend in any way on our desire. So.

What does postpartum management mean?

Care for a postpartum mother should be carried out taking into account the rules of antiseptics in order to prevent infections.
The main goal of managing the postpartum period is to carry out procedures to avoid purulent-septic complications in the mother and newborn child. That is why the organization of care for a postpartum mother should be carried out taking into account the rules of antiseptics. If the infection enters a woman's genital tract or mammary glands, it will be extremely harmful to the health of the mother and child.

A doctor and a nurse are looking after the woman giving birth. They monitor the woman’s general condition, find out if she has any complaints, measure pulse, blood pressure, body temperature, and identify problems in the postpartum period. Also at this stage, the vagina is examined and the nature of the discharge is assessed.

With proper management of the postpartum period, the woman’s condition is restored on the first day after the birth of the child. If the mother's health allows, she can do light gymnastics.

Energy, psychology and physiology of the mother in the first year of motherhood

The picture that appears to the seer if he dares to carefully examine the energy of a nursing mother is no less fantastic than the one that appears when examining the energy of a pregnant woman. The poverty of information in this area is explained by the simple fact that any attention, and especially the attention of the seer, does not go unpunished. Therefore, such consideration is safe only for a narrow circle of specialists, whom I call spiritual midwives.

Here, too, I will not describe these pictures in detail: those who wish will receive additional information in class, but for the curious this will be superfluous. I will describe only a few points that are directly related to the topic of this chapter.

So, the peculiarity of the energy of a nursing mother is that for the entire period of feeding, the woman becomes the owner of a powerful magical instrument - the etheric womb. This new organ can be quite impressive in size and allows it to absorb a colossal amount of energy carriers from the surrounding space. Almost all of the absorbed etheric energy is condensed and is included as the main component in breast milk. The rest (2-3%) goes to restore postpartum energy-informational losses.

Naturally, inept handling of such a quantity of free energy can be extremely dangerous. The most common consequence is a catastrophic increase in body weight and volume.

To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to correctly approach the issues of nutrition and physical activity, as well as in general the issue of studying your energy balance.

Another feature of the feeding period is the almost complete interpenetration of energy, psychology and physiology. The condition and work of all, without exception, a woman’s organs and systems during this period directly depend on the state of her psyche and on the amount of energy absorbed and spent per day. Everyone knows that a good mood is good for health, but in this case we are not talking about a positive effect, but about a determining role. When everything is in order, the mood is cheerful and good, saturation and restoration of energy balance occurs quickly and effectively. The endocrine glands also work vigorously, the vessels dilate and contract where necessary, the peristalsis of the intestines and ducts is normal, the stomach digests everything that is offered to it, etc.

With mental depression the picture is less rosy. Internal secretion, vessels supplying blood and everything necessary are almost completely suppressed, internal organs are in spasm, the intestines are paralyzed, the bile and pancreatic ducts do not contract, etc. Life seems to freeze inside the woman. This, unfortunately, leads to instability and threatens life, but such is our fate - it is human. During such periods, milk usually disappears. If the normal state can be restored in at least a week, then the milk appears again, then it becomes more difficult, although nothing is impossible.

Late postpartum period

An obstetrician-gynecologist should conduct postpartum period management. He monitors the condition of the reproductive system and the size of the woman’s uterus. If its contraction is weak, injections of oxytocin . When the uterus contracts, a woman feels pain, which is inherent in contractions, in the lower abdomen. For those who are giving birth not for the first time, these pains can be extremely intense and acute.

Physiology of the postpartum period, causes the release of blood and mucous from the uterus

If there are stitches from an episiotomy, they need to be treated every day. Gynecological experts recommend lying on your stomach more often. Thanks to this position of the body, the uterus contracts and is positioned correctly in the pelvic area.

The physiology of the postpartum period causes the release of blood and mucous from the uterus. These secretions are called lochia . Bloody discharge smells like fresh blood and may increase in volume when a woman first gets out of bed, after lying down for a long period of time, or while breastfeeding.

During the first 2-3 days, the lochia is dark red and consists of blood and some small clots. From days 3 to 10, the liquid turns pink or light brown. After day 10, the discharge turns into yellowish-white mucus, the number of lochia decreases, but they will last for about another 2-8 weeks.

Changes in a woman's body associated with childbirth

Changes in the female body are caused by both physiological and mental mechanisms.

On the one hand, childbirth is a powerful signal for launching DNA sections that had been “dormant” until that moment. Cells begin to produce new proteins. This ultimately leads to a global change in metabolism and hormonal levels. Even characteristics such as muscle strength and elasticity, calcium content in bones and many others change. Almost all women notice changes in heat exchange. However, heat exchange is just a special case of global bioenergy-information exchange. There is a total transformation and change in biological and energy information statuses.

On subtle planes one can see a strong shift in the power center of the main flow and a change in its predominant direction. If the girl’s power center was at the level of the small pelvis, and the main direction was upward, which made her look like a butterfly, then the woman’s power center shifts to the chest, and the main direction is practically absent, that is, the ascending and descending flows are harmonized. From a child - a flower on the branches of a clan, a woman turns after childbirth into one of the branches of this clan, that is, into a conductor of life. This entails new opportunities for using the energy of the birth stream. In fact, all the power of the clan from this moment on, if desired, can be used by a woman to grow and protect its continuation. How great a force this is can be judged by the rare but impressive cases of its spontaneous use in extreme situations. Many people remember cases like the one when a woman stopped with her hand a MAZ flying at high speed, which was supposed to run over a child who happened to be on the road.

New psychology of a woman after childbirth

Our entire life is represented by our perception. If we didn't feel anything, we would never know that we lived. And vice versa. We could represent only a sense organ with simulators of sensations connected to it, and with appropriate irritation of the receptors we would receive a complete sensation of real active life. Memories play an equally important role in the feeling of life, since the perception of the present occurs through the prism of accumulated experience, that is, memories. Our plans for the future are also important for the perception of reality. Few people notice the influence of the future on our lives, but this does not change matters. If you want to see for yourself, make a serious plan for the coming year, live with it for a week, carefully observing your usual reactions, and then cancel the old plan and just as seriously plan another future. I assure you that your observations will exceed any expectations.

A woman after childbirth is a person without a past and a future. Memories of the past are no longer experiences because the process of birth itself occurs in such a way as to erase them. That is, the past does not disappear anywhere, the attitude towards it just changes greatly. Memories of life before the birth of a child are more like memories of a movie you watched. The future after childbirth is practically invisible, since it is completely unclear what guidelines to plan it in relation to. Newborns or aliens who accidentally find themselves on Earth are in a similar position. In fact, this is a unique opportunity to start a new life with a new leaf, and this is not an escape from oneself and difficulties, but a completely natural and logical event.

Most often, not knowing what to do with all this now, a woman simply withdraws into her new and still very small world. She avoids communicating with her old acquaintances and certainly does not make new acquaintances. Relatives are annoying. There is not enough energy and time for communication. This condition may last for months or even years.

The reason for this behavior is that the old, what happened in the “past life”, is replaced by a new type of mental response. Monitoring her new reactions, the woman realizes with horror that she does not know how to relate to them. How to treat yourself, laughing at what you used to cry about, and completely indifferent to what once caused strong emotions. In this case, memory greatly interferes with living.

A narrowing circle of contacts leads to a narrowing of the area of movement, which in turn leads to monotony of impressions and a gradual slide into depression. Of course, this has nothing to do with recovery.

The basis of the entire recovery process is the development of a new way of mental response . This does not mean accustoming yourself to any specific reactions, but studying your own reactions that have changed after childbirth. Simply put, you need to get to know yourself again and accept yourself as you are, without beating around the bush.

Most often, the process of postpartum rehabilitation is stopped at the very beginning. The young mother is surrounded by care and affection from her family and friends. Everyone comes to visit to look at the newborn and share personal or other people's experiences. Newly-made grandmothers are especially eager to help. They not only vie with each other to teach the woman the intricacies of washing dirty bottoms and the like, but they also strive to do everything themselves, offering the child’s mother to “rest.” As a result, all the energy and all the attention goes into the struggle for the opportunity to be the mother of her child.

To prevent this from happening and for a woman after giving birth to be able to focus on herself, her new perception of the world, study herself and understand what she is today, I propose a set of measures.

Inform relatives and friends about the birth of a child with a week delay . This will allow the whole family to recover after childbirth and prepare for “relative aggression.”

Strictly determine the time of visits with family and friends in the first months after childbirth and do not receive guests more than once a week and for no more than two hours. And let them come one at a time, or at least two at a time. This will prevent you from imposing help and saying a bunch of unnecessary advice. All fears and prejudices are extremely contagious, and it is relatives who are usually the main carriers of this nasty thing. In addition, this can be motivated by hygienic considerations.

If a mother-in-law or mother-in-law lives in a family, a young mother must courageously take on household chores. There can only be one mistress in a house. Grandmothers should live for their own pleasure - going to theaters, meeting friends, traveling. If you manage to get such a grandmother, everyone will be happy. True, not right away. At first, the grandmother sent “for a walk” may be offended, but sooner or later she herself will thank you for not letting her get bogged down in the abyss of someone else’s family life.

From the first minutes of motherhood, carefully observe all your reactions and manifestations. Observations should not be interrupted by any assessments or analyses. You should observe and at the same time try to “be in yourself” all the time, that is, perceive as intently as possible exactly what is happening here and now. This observation will allow you to know yourself. Take everything for granted. Do not be surprised by new products, because from now on these are not new products, but your mental properties and characteristics. Get rid of thoughts like “I’ve never done this before” or “I would never have allowed myself to do this before.” These are harmful and incorrect thoughts, because for a woman after childbirth, “earlier” does not exist.

Find out for yourself your new relationship with everyone around you. Just decide how you now feel about your husband, father, mother, aunts and uncles, girlfriends and friends. Accept this relationship for what it is. There's nothing you can do about it. If you try to lie to yourself, you will make enemies and troubles, and maybe even ruin your life. And don’t let material considerations cloud your consciousness. Believe me, they are not worth it.

For a speedy recovery, as well as to prepare for life in changed conditions, it would not hurt a woman to grow up. This can be done only by resorting to the independent cultivation of mature perception.

Caring for mother and baby

Proper hygiene is important for comfort, infection prevention, and wound healing. The following general hygiene rules for women :

A woman's perineum should remain clean. This is the area between the vagina and rectum. It may be swollen and painful after being sprained.
Wash your hands more often
Change bed linen regularly
Change the sanitary pad as needed at least 4 times a day
Only use sanitary pads; tampons may cause infection during the first six weeks
If there are seams, you should not bathe in hot water, otherwise there is a possibility that they will come apart
If the doctor has prescribed a certain ointment that relieves pain, you should carefully read the instructions and follow all the rules for its use.
Have four different towels to dry your face, body, hands and private parts
Do not use a washcloth when washing
Wash every time after using the toilet

Basic care for newborn children comes down to the following rules:

Wash your baby every morning. To prevent breathing problems, children need to thoroughly rinse their nasal passages. To prevent conjunctivitis from appearing, it is necessary to cleanse the eyes of internal secretions.
Wash the newborn. To prevent your child from getting infections and irritations, you need to wash him every day as needed.
Change diapers. A child should not spend a long time in a wet, dirty diaper, otherwise there is a risk of irritation.
Treat the wound on the navel. Without the necessary care, an unhealed wound on the navel can cause infection not only in the navel itself, but also in the blood and sepsis. You need to treat the wound daily until it is completely healed.
Bath the child. For a newborn, bathing is the most important hygiene procedure. It protects it from the occurrence of inflammatory skin diseases
Swaddling a newborn. Many babies need time to adapt to larger spaces, so swaddling reminds baby of the state he was in in the womb
Breastfeed your baby correctly. A woman should learn in the maternity hospital how to properly breastfeed her newborn. If the child's mother does not have experience in breastfeeding, then the midwife or doctor should tell and show in what position the newborn should be held and what position to take during this process

Let's talk a little about maturity

We often use the concepts of “childish”, “mature”, “adult” and the like. What meaning do we put into them? What do we want to tell our interlocutors by using such words?

Despite its apparent simplicity, it is very difficult to truly objectively determine the moment when a person can be spoken of as an adult. Age these days speaks of anything but adulthood. In my practice, I have encountered people of absolutely all ages who thought and made decisions in a very childish way. And sometimes, though much less often, with children who have wisdom and mature reasoning. In my opinion, neither one nor the other is healthy. To Caesar what is Caesar's.

There is another pitfall in such a conversation. None of us have a certificate for our maturity. And no one is given the right to judge the maturity of others only on the basis that he considers himself an adult. By the way, one of the generally recognized signs of infantilism and immaturity is the cry “I’m already an adult!!!” or “I’m not little anymore.”

To get out of this awkward situation, I propose to agree on the following. All my discussions about maturity and adulthood are based on the results of my own observations and research, and the conclusions from these discussions are my personal opinion. If you want, agree, if you don’t want, don’t.

Self-education is a difficult but exciting process. In a nutshell, it can be defined as a set of consistently taken coercive measures, applied by a person to himself at his own request in order to develop certain mental reactions in himself.

The most terrible secret of self-education is that it does not matter at all what character traits or mental properties you undertake to cultivate in yourself. Choose any! The main thing in this is to overcome yourself. Forcing yourself to do what you consider impossible is the hardest thing to do.

For those who have little imagination, I can offer a choice of several self-educational exercises. They can be done all together or one by one, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is to carry them out conscientiously, without giving yourself the slightest indulgence.

EXERCISE ONE

Stand in front of the mirror and look carefully at your reflection. Tell that person in the mirror what you think about him. Don't be shy in your expressions. If you have nothing to say, then you are an infantile coward and have no chance of growing up. Repeat daily for a month and as needed in later life.

EXERCISE TWO

Answer the question asked to you truthfully. It's not easy to do this the first time. It might not even work out. Try again and again - this is your only chance. Overcome your natural fear of the truth, and it will be one of the most important victories in your life.

The exercise will have to be done constantly until it becomes a habit. After this, your infantile friends will begin to consider you an adult.

Note. If it seems to you that you are always telling the truth, cross yourself, it seems that way to everyone at first. To make sure you are wrong, ask an adult you know (a real adult) if he thinks you are lying to him.

EXERCISE THREE

Do what you want. Do as you see fit. Make your own decision without consulting anyone.

The difference between an adult and an infantile person is that an adult, understanding the unpredictability of all consequences, simply does what he wants or considers necessary. He a priori takes full responsibility. While the “immature” one tries to predict the consequences and refuses to act, afraid of responsibility.

You will have to overcome the powerful resistance of others, but as a result you will receive your own life as a reward. Take my word for it, few people have such a treasure.

A woman’s recovery after childbirth is no less powerful a tool for transforming the world than home birth. Moreover, those born freely will not come into this world as a real transformative force soon, but their quickly and efficiently restored mothers will be ready to change something within a year and a half after giving birth.
