Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yehla kanjani, ukuletha umntwana emhlabeni kuwumsebenzi we-herculean futhi kuhle kakhulu okuphambili kwe-badassery. Futhi njengoba usubeletha ngaphansi kwebhande lakho, ungenza noma yini, akukho okuzokuxaka, ungumfazi ongaphezu kwamandla akho... akunjalo? Kunjalo, kodwa kungani-ke zonke izinto ezincane zizwakala zixakile ngaso sonke isikhathi?
Ngokwesibonelo, thatha isenzo sokunikeza usana lwakho ukugeza kokuqala ngqa. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ingabe izingane azihlanzekile ngokwemvelo? Ngakolunye uhlangothi, usanda kubuya esibhedlela futhi lelo bala ku-duvet yakho ngokuqinisekile akulona lwesinaphi . Uma wesaba ukuthi uphumelele i-Newborn Care 101 ngemibalabala, kodwa ayikho ebuyela kuwena, ungakhathazeki. Awuwedwa. Kunzima, siyakuthola. Futhi mayelana naleyo mibuzo yokugeza: Singasiza. Ngakho-ke qhubeka ufunda ngakho konke odinga ukukwazi mayelana nokugeza usana lwakho, bese ubuyela ekuhlanzeni indawo ye-duvet ye-googling.
mrs/getty izithombeUkugeza noma ukungagezi?
Mhlawumbe uke waba nezinyawo ezibandayo uma kuziwa ekugezeni usana lwakho. Izindaba ezinhle: Awudingi ukuzizwa kabi, ngoba empeleni akukhona konke okuphuthumayo. Eqinisweni, kunezizathu ezithile ezicindezelayo zokuyeka isikhathi sokugeza ekuqaleni.Ngokusho komkhulumeli we-American Academy of Pediatrics uWhitney Casares, MD, MPH, FAAP, umbhali we Uhlelo Olusha Lwezingane .
Izingane azidingi ukugeza emasontweni ambalwa okuqala okuphila. Abakungcolisi nje lokho. Ngokusobala kufanele sizihlanze izinqe zazo lapho zikhukhumala futhi zihlanze isikhumba sazo uma zikhafula emifantwini yazo, kodwa uma kungenjalo, ukuvumela isikhumba somntwana sijwayelane nangaphandle amasonto ambalwa ngaphandle kokugeza kungcono. Ikhuthaza ukuphulukiswa kwentambo ye-umbilical futhi inciphisa ukuthintana nezinto ezingase zicasule. Ngeluleka iziguli zami ukuthi zilinde ukugeza okugcwele kuze kube yizinsuku ezimbalwa ngemva kokuwa kwenkaba, ngokuvamile phakathi nesonto elilodwa kuya kwamabili.
Kuyaduduza, akunjalo? Futhi, uma ufunda lokhu kulawo masonto ambalwa okuqala, kukhona ithuba elihle wena udinga ukukhuhla phansi ngaphezu kwengane yakho. Ngakho-ke zinikeze ishawa langempela, geza ibhavu eliphumuzayo futhi usebenzise zonke izinsipho nezinto zokugcoba. Ngokuqondene nosana lwakho olusanda kuzalwa, kugcine kulula ngokweqa ukugeza, kodwa usule ingane yakho kahle kukho konke ukushintsha inabukeni. Kanye ngosuku, sebenzisa indwangu yokugeza efudumele, emanzi (akukho nsipho edingekayo) ukuze uhlanze kahle lezo zigoqo zentamo kanye namasethi womabili ezihlathi. Le ngxenye yesibili ungase ukhethe ukuyenza ngaphambi kokulala, ngoba akukaze kube maduzane kakhulu ukuthi uqale ukwakha isimiso esipholile sokulala (uzofuna ukusivala lapho usemncane).
Uma le ndlela yokuhlanza indawo ingakusizi kahle futhi ufuna ukuhamba ibanga elide, ungacabangela ukugeza kwesipontshi, esinazo zonke izinsimbi namakhwela okugeza okuvamile (kunamanzi amaningi ahilelekile, zonke izingxenye zomzimba zithola. igeziwe), ngenkathi isahlonipha umthetho omkhulu wokugeza inkaba: ungacwilisi leso siphunzi senkaba! Khumbula nje ukuthi nakuba ukugeza kwesipontshi kungase kukhange ukuthambekela kwakho kokuphumelela ngokweqile (sikubona, Virgo), akufanele kwenziwe izikhathi ezingaphezu kwezintathu ngesonto, njengoba isikhumba esisanda kuzalwa sithambile futhi sijwayele ukomisa nokucasuka.
d3sign/Getty IzithombeNgisigeza kanjani isipontshi?
1. Khetha indawo yakhoKhetha indawo yakho yokusebenza—ufuna ingane yakho ilele endaweni eyisicaba kodwa enethezekile ekamelweni elifudumele. (Iningi lochwepheshe liyavuma ukuthi izinga lokushisa elifanele ekamelweni lomntwana liphakathi kwama-degree angu-68 no-72.) Ungagcwalisa usinki wasekhishini lakho ngamanzi futhi usebenzise i-countertop, kodwa ngisho nezinsana ezisanda kuzalwa zingasuka zisuke ezindaweni eziphakeme, ngakho kuzodingeka gcina isandla esisodwa emzimbeni wengane yakho kuyo yonke inqubo. Awunasiqiniseko sokuthi unalelo zinga lobuchwephesha okwamanje? Khohlwa usinki bese ukhetha indishi yamanzi esikhundleni salokho—iphedi eshintshayo noma ingubo yokulala eyengeziwe ewugqinsi ephansi izokwenza kahle enganeni futhi yenze izinto zibe lula kuwe.
2. Lungisa ukugeza
Gcwalisa usinki wakho noma indishi yamanzi ngamanzi angenayo insipho, afudumele. Khumbula ukuthi isikhumba somntwana wakho sizwela kakhulu, ngakho-ke ukufudumala kusho ukuthuthumela kulokhu. Lapho uhlola amanzi, yenza kanjalo ngendololwane esikhundleni sesandla sakho—uma engashisi futhi engabanda, kulungile. (Yebo, Goldilocks.) Usathukile ngokuthola izinga lokushisa elilungile? Ungathenga a i-thermometer yokugeza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi amanzi ahlala endaweni eyi-100 degree.
3. Gcina isiteshi sakho
Manje njengoba amanzi akho eselungile, udinga nje ukuqoqa ezinye izinto ezimbalwa futhi uqiniseke ukuthi zonke ziseduze nengalo:
- Indwangu yokugeza ethambile noma isipontshi, sesitsha sakho samanzi
- Amathawula amabili: Elokumisa ingane yakho, kanti elesibili uma kwenzeka ucwilisa elokuqala ngephutha
- Inabukeni, ozikhethela lona (Usanda kugeza isipontshi sakho sokuqala, futhi ukuhambisa amathumbu okungalindelekile kungakhipha umoya kuseyili yakho.)
4. Geza ingane
Uma usukhumule ingane yakho esanda kuzalwa, msonge ngengubo ukuze umgcine efudumele phakathi nenqubo futhi umbeke phansi endaweni oyikhethile yokugeza. Qala ngokugeza ubuso bengane yakho—qiniseka nje ukuthi uyayicisha indwangu yokuwasha noma isipontshi ukuze kungabikho manzi angena ekhaleni layo, emehlweni noma emlonyeni—bese usebenzisa ithawula ukummbambatha ngobumnene. Hambisa ingubo phansi ukuze umzimba wakhe ongaphezulu uvele obala kodwa umzimba ophansi usalokhu ubophene futhi ufudumele. Manje ungakwazi ukugeza intamo yakhe, umzimba kanye izingalo. Ome bese usonga umzimba wakhe ongaphezulu ngengubo ngaphambi kokudlulela esithweni sangasese, phansi nasemilenzeni. Uma ingxenye yokugeza isiqediwe (khumbula, ayikho insipho!), nikeza ingane yakho enye irandi yokomisa ithawula, ugxile kakhulu emisebeni kanye nokugoqeka kwesikhumba lapho ukuqubuka okufana ne-yeast kuvame ukuvela lapho kushiywe kumanzi.
Izithombe ze-Towfiqu / Getty IzithombeKufanele ngimgeze kangaki umntanami?
Uma usukwazi kahle ukugeza kwesipontshi (noma mhlawumbe weqe ngokuphelele) futhi inkaba isipholile, ungase uzibuze ukuthi kufanele uyigeze kangaki ingane yakho. Izindaba ezinhle? Izidingo zokugeza zengane yakho empeleni azihlukile kakhulu kunesonto elilodwa ubudala. Ngempela, umbono oyinhloko uwukuthi ingane ayidingi ukugeza okungaphezu kokuthathu ngesonto ngonyaka wokuqala wokuphila.
Izithombe ze-Sasiistock/GettyYini okufanele ngiyazi mayelana nokugeza okuvamile kokuqala?
Okuyisisekelo:Uma usulungele ukugeza ingane yakho yangempela--imvamisa cishe inyanga eyodwa ubudala-qiniseka ukuthi unebhavu ewufanele lomsebenzi. Ubhavu wezingane ziwusizo kakhulu (siyayithanda i-Boon 2-Position Tub, egoqa ukuze igcinwe kalula ezindaweni ezincane), kodwa ungasebenzisa usinki. Ngaphandle kwalapho nawe uyangena, gwema ukusebenzisa ubhavu wosayizi ogcwele. Lapho ugcwalisa ubhavu, namathela emanzini angenayo insipho, futhi ulandele iziqondiso zokushisa ezibekelwe ukugeza isipontshi. Amanzi angajabulisa kakhulu, ngakho-ke ngisho nasebhavuni losana, uzodinga ukubeka isandla esisodwa enganeni yakho--noma ngabe ikhahlela imilenze yayo ngokujabula noma ibhikisha ngokusuka enhliziyweni, kuzoba nomzuzwana lapho kudingeka khona isandla esizinzile.
Ukusetha isimo:
Ngaphezu kwalokho, vele ujabulele ukubuka indlela ingane yakho esabela ngayo ekugezeni kwayo kokuqala okugcwele futhi ukhumbule ukuthi awudingi ngempela ukuyithuthukisa nganoma yikuphi ukuzijabulisa okwengeziwe. Phela, yonke into yintsha futhi iyinqaba futhi iyakhuthaza njengamanje (isiteji esisanda kuzalwa ngokuyisisekelo uhambo lwe-asidi ehlanya wonke umuntu analo kodwa akekho olukhumbulayo) futhi ukubheja kwakho okuhle ukudala indawo ezolile, engathathi hlangothi yokucwiliswa kwakhe kokuqala kubhavu. Uwahlola ngokoqobo amanzi, ngakho gcina okugeza kufushane futhi kumnandi, futhi uma ingane yakho icasuka ekuqaleni, asikho isidingo sokuyiphoqa. Uthole umqondo wokuthi akakukho konke lokho? Zama ukungena naye kubhavu ngokuzayo ukuze uthole ukusondelana okwengeziwe nokunethezeka ngenkathi elungisa ukuzizwisa.
