Hush, Little Baby, Do not Say a Word
To sleep is what you need to learn while you are feeding your baby. Unfortunately, not all mothers can afford such a luxury. An innate sense of duty and inability to rest lead to the fact that, even being in bed, a woman does not close her eyes. In my head - a swarm of thoughts, in my soul - anxiety for what I could not, did not, did not have time ... Please, sleep! Consider it your direct duty.
In a dream and in reality!
Nervousness and haste are the enemies of many modern moms. Learn to relax. A better moment than when you are breastfeeding, you just can not find it! Allow yourself to fantasize a little. Imagine what your family will be like in 5-10 years, how small it will grow, what it will be able to do, what to play, what to get involved in! .. And yet, how to combine useful with pleasant? We offer several options. Choose and supplement the list with your finds.
Lying
On the side and on the back - these are the two most common postures of feeding lying down. And, we must admit, the most pleasant. You are relaxed, nothing hinders ... But it seems that in such a situation it is impossible to do something else, because it is impossible to move. Variants of the sea!
1. Listen to your favorite music or audiobooks. Beforehand put at the head of the bed the console from the music center and, when the little one sucks, turn it on. In the supine position, you can also watch TV or a movie. Choose positive melodramas, cognitive or historical pictures.
2. Reading is another way of useful pastime. Take care of good lighting. If the room is dark, turn on the lamp, sending a stream of light to the pages, and not to the child. What to read? You may be interested in books on caring for children in the first year of their life. Detective? Why not.
Z. Liesz is comfortable to communicate by phone with friends (quietly!). Send a romantic sms message to your husband - he will be just glad. But remember that your mobile should be as far from the crumb as possible.
Standing
In this position, both your hands are busy. Yes, and feed the baby standing is infrequent, as an exception. If only you do not use a sling or a special backpack! Moms who acquired one of these accessories, greatly simplified their lives.
1. You can keep crumbs on your hands and pay attention to yourself. In particular, do some physical exercises. Turns, slopes, rolling from the socks to the heels, circular motions of the head ... Become more beautiful!
2. By the creativity! Hang on a flat wall or a refrigerator door a sheet of cardboard - this is your easel. Draw as the soul tells! To sculpt and even to crochet also it is quite good turns out standing.
Z. While the baby eats, lying in a sling, you can wipe the dust, put things in their places, load a washing machine, even make dinner. To help her mother, modern technology: steam, fast or multivark.
Sitting
So it is convenient for you not only to feed your child, but also to engage in other interesting activities. At least one hand is free, and if you place the child on a special pillow, then all two! A small bed table will help in many situations. His purchase has justified itself more than once. First, it's comfortable to eat. Secondly, you can put a laptop on it. Eat or browse the e-mail box - it's convenient to do both. Take time for the older child. Sometimes it's enough just to talk (quietly and calmly!). At the schoolboy you easily check the lessons, many even get a read aloud. The main thing is to teach your son or daughter not to make noise next to the baby. Think about what needs to be done today, tomorrow, during the week. Make a menu for the next few days and write down the list of products you need to buy.
