So last night a tiny little newborn was put into the bed next to me with her mum and at around 2am she started crying with wind and her mum was struggling to get up I was debating for about 15 mins but in the end I got up and went into her cubicle to ask if she needed any help. The poor woman was exhausted after having a section and said she would love some help so I gave her my advice that when winding it’s easier to rub the bottom of baby’s back with the heel of your hand to get the wind up instead of patting so she did and 2 mins later she got her wind up she’s been sleeping since and sounds like mum got some sleep too 😁 never felt so lifted to know I’ve helped another mum even with my own problems going on! WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER! Pregnancy and childbirth isn’t easy and we all need help from time to time 💖💖

@7littlegems, I could see she was in pain and just exhausted they’d sent her partner home at 10pm so she was on her own but she managed to get some sleep once baby had got her wind up and she seems better for resting and baby seems so quiet and content now too 😊 so glad I was happy to help another woman I know how hard it can be especially with stitches xxx
