Your Pregnancy POST-PARTUM PERIOD - Welcoming A Second Child Additional Post-Partum Blues Help .... - Post-Partum Blues : Myth or Reality? - How To Deal with the Post-Partum Period - Why is the New Mother Blue? - The Spouse has a great role to play in preventing post-partum blues In the post-partum period, many couples are faced with welcoming a second or even third child into the house. Hence, when a couple already has a child, a newborn baby can bring its load of joy and challenge. In order to understand the first child's reaction, you have to put yourself in their shoes: from being the king, they fall back to being the prince. In short, all the attention that was directed towards the first born is now redirected in the direction of this precious newborn. You cannot blame a child for reacting and acting-up as the newborn is taking all the attention and time of his beloved parents. In order to make the transition easier for a child when bringing home a newborn baby, there are basic proven strategies that work well. I always tell my patients who complain about their first child reacting to the newborn's arriving by drawing this parallel: "How would you react if your husband brought home another woman one day and said: 'Look at her! Isn't she the most beautiful person in the world? I just love her!'".    If you need extra energy to deal with your post-partum period, Click Here This is the same thing new parents are often doing when they bring in their newborn baby devoting all their attention to him. There are ways to prevent post-partum problems by smoothing the transition for the existing child. Such tricks as bringing a gift to the child and telling him that the baby gave it to him can help make the switch easier. It is also recommended to have the older child participate in the newborn care by fetching diapers and other things. This way, the older child grows into its role of being the helpful one and does not end-up resenting the new baby in the house. Another very good trick in making the transition easier for the older child when bringing home a newborn baby is by re-assuring this older child that he has not lost any of his parent's love and attention. Hence, whenever the newborn baby is resting sleeping, sitting down with the older sibling will have the effect of showing that he did not lose his parents but rather gained a brother or a sister.     For the powerful Hypnosis For Childbirth Program : Hypno-Beginning, please CLICK HERE En Francais | En Español | Products | Home | About Us | Find an Instructor | Your Pregnancy | Calendar | FAQs Testimonials | Classes | Affiliates | In the News | Read My Blog | Chat Group | Contact Us Copyright Hypnoharmonie LLC
