Your Budget and Confinement Nanny
Confinement nannies can be a great help. After having a baby, it is clear that you would benefit from professional help. You can feel more secure knowing that someone has expertise in caring for newborn babies will be there to look after your health as well as your baby’s. Even with these facts in mind, it can still be difficult to figure out how to pay for a confinement nurse.
While things may be tough, there are many good reasons why you should at least try to get the nanny on board for a few months after having a baby.
What you don’t know
It could cause harm to you or your baby if you don’t know enough about the confinement process. It is likely that you will have to deal with many unexpected things if this is your first time bringing your baby home. While some of these situations will be confusing and shocking, others might make you nervous. Your baby will be fine. However, you can’t predict what could happen.
If you’ve ever had children, don’t assume you are an expert on caring for a newborn. You can’t expect the same for every baby. It is possible that unexpected things will happen.
Ask yourself a few questions. Then, take a deep look at your answers.
1. What should you say if your baby suddenly stops breathing?
2. What can you do when you find something unusual in your baby’s diaper?
3. Do you know the difference in a baby who stops eating properly from a child who is starting to sleep through the nights and becoming more independent?
One of the best things about having a confinement nurse on hand is that they have witnessed other babies’ behavior, have helped many frightened parents and are trained to spot potential issues before it is too late. They will let you know when something is normal, and when treatment or medical assistance is required.
Your confinement nanny can tell you everything about taking care of newborns. This can be a great comfort, regardless of whether you have your first or fifth child.
Loving Parenthood
A competent confinement nanny can help you to love your role as a parent or feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and tired in this new stage of your life. It is possible to hear from other mothers about postpartum depression or sleep deprivation.
A confinement nanny can help you sleep better because you know that you are in good hands. You will still need to wake up for breastfeeding but you will be able to get more rest than mothers who do everything by themselves in confinement.
