This is worth the read! I'm doing delayed cord clamping, and not letting them take my baby off my chest until I feel ready. My newborn will also not get the eye drops or hep B shot. The things they do to these brand new babies blows my mind. I wish I would have known all these things with my first.

I work land on doing all that as wellnand read an article on delaying the first bath after a few days so the baby can get use to their mothers scent and a few other beneficial reason for mother and child.
but they did let me have skin to skin as soon as she was born after my csection and they never took her out of my room they did everything in there bath hearing test checked her blood sugars ..
here where I delivered they asked if I wanted the hep b vitamin k and the eye drops I told them I didn't want anything and they told me in could denie the hep b and vitamin k but not the eye drops if I do they would have to call cps. it's to prevent infection in the eye or something like that . but I a do sign a paper denying the hep b and vitamin k...
It's so sad that it's just a business to them when it's our life & it determines the remainder of life... & not to make excuses for the horrible things some moms do to their child but, with all the interventions you can understand why some moms don't bond with the baby...it's like an animal...if you intervene too soon that animal will kill the young
My hospital didn't even offer skin to skin with my first baby :( I had to wear the gown they gave me @mrakel1
I know and they get so much more of the nutrient rich blood if you wait until the placenta is delivered to cut the cord. They just wanna hurry and get their job done so they can go home. It's sad. @royce_ivy
I'm so happy that my hospital believes in prolonged skin to skin and unless you are choosing to have a circumcision ( we are having a girl) the parents are never separated from the baby.
Totally agree...I read this a few weeks ago & my mind was made up !!! I hate how they try to say oh we have to cut the cord it's too tight around baby...well baby doesn't breathe until the cord is cut..so your unwanted intervention is the cause of my baby being delivered blue 😡
My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...

Today’s topic: introducing solids.
I’ll do another about what is ok for feeding, but for now let’s focus on the *when*.
Solids are anything beyond breastmilk or formula. This includes: cereals, juices, purée, etc.
Not only is 6 months an important milestone, but there are also other factors that should ALL be met before introducing: sitting unsupported, loss of tongue thrust, pincher grasp are huge. These ensure your baby isn’t at risk for, amongst other things, choking. Baby being intereste...
Can we have a serious discussion? We can argue the topic all we want in the comments. I’m not afraid of a little heated discussion, haha! No reporting views that are different than yours. TOPIC: COWS MILK. 🐄 Do you feed it to your children? Do YOU drink it? For me, it’s devastating that so many support an Industry that is a known horror show. The mother cows are forced to reproduce, their babies are taken away with in the first hours of their lives, and the boy cows are either sold for mea...
The article definitely makes sense but that's not how it works all the time. Macie was born 3 months ago. They immediately put her on my chest. They did the prolonged cord clamping. Then I was allowed to have skin to skin and breast feed her. All before delivering the placenta. I got a lot of time with her. I handed her to dad so I could deliver placenta and then I got her back. The docs asked if I wanted her washed and weighed and whatnot but I said no. They didn't do the shot until maybe our second day and she didn't even leave the room. Some of those interventions are important and most of the time the hospital will either allow you to be a part of it or will just do it in your room. Macie was only taken out of my room once- hearing test- and was returned immediately. I promise, most hospitals and providers know it is most important for you to have skin to skin and bonding time with baby.
