Next Saturday, March 28, a workshop entitled "Mother and baby: link, nutrition and contact ". It is organized by the Maternal Project Association and is very complete in its theme and presentation.
A look at the issues to be discussed is an excellent review of some of the points to deepen would be of enormous benefit to expectant and recent mothers.
Actually there is a concept that until recently was forgotten in childbirth and postpartum care, the enormous importance for the happiness and development of the baby of the establishment emotional link with Mother.
Breastfeeding is very important, first as a physiological fact and as a normal means of communication between the mother and the baby. And we usually lack information about it. Breast milk is produced naturally by a physical process that greatly influences emotional aspects and on which many false preconceived ideas that end up making it difficult are repeated.
Certainly in the establishment of breastfeeding there may be problems, but knowing and supporting each other in groups of mothers can be a solution. Another important point is the real implications of artificial feeding, whose damage is not always informed correctly.
In the first moments after birth an intense is created emotional link Between mother and son. This makes it necessary for the emotional needs of the mother-baby dyad to be known and respected by the environment and especially by the mother herself.
It is still common to hear advice against physical contact with the newborn, until recently it was customary to confine a baby cot and even send it to the nest away from his mother. However, physical contact is a vital food, a means of communication and a true therapeutic tool. It is not necessary to fear it, since the natural habitat of the baby continues being the body of its mother.
We can complement these notions with adequate knowledge about natural processes of sleep of the baby, to be able to respect them, understand them and adapt to them. Infant massage and baby carriers are very useful tools for any recent mother.
In the workshop "Mother and baby"it will deepen in all these aspects. And for those that we cannot go, surely in Babies and more We can find a lot of information about it.
