The Covid-19 pandemic has irrevocably changed lives forever. As we adapt to a new normal, we have had to change the way we work, live and perform routine tasks. With so much uncertainty looming, it’s expected if you are filled with anxiety.
It’s easy to become dependent on your confinement nanny. Does the thought of her leaving fill you with doubts such as ‘How am I going to cope?’ and ‘What if I screw up?’
One of the primary considerations when hiring a confinement nanny would be pricing. How much does it cost? Is it worth it? What do the expenses cover? Let us answer all your questions!
What should you do about white spots that appear on your nipples when you pump milk? Should you poke them with a needle? Of course not! Here’s a simple two-step guide.
Have you noticed your newborn being difficult and wanting to be carried more than usual when they are almost a month old? Do they seem more irritable or require extra feedings?
Just like how we adults have various eating habits, different babies breastfeed differently. By carefully observing how your newborn drinks milk, you can find out type of baby they are.
Ever heard of the saying, ‘You are what you eat’? Well, this is especially true when you are a pregnant mother and it applies to your unborn child too.
Do you understand your newborn? While they are unable to speak (yet), there are many ways you can communicate and bond with them. With enough time and patience, you’ll soon find yourself speaking your baby’s language!
Find yourself sweating a lot more like you have just finished a marathon during your confinement, even though all you been doing is resting at home? You are not alone.
Feeling overwhelmed during pregnancy because it seems like there’s so much to remember? Fret not! The first thing to take note of would be having a good diet as it plays an integral role in having a smooth delivery and healthy baby.
Although a confinement nanny is here to work for you, it’s important to make her feel at home as she will be spending 28 days (or more) with your family. One thing to note would be her sleeping arrangements.
