Caesarean section is a surgical procedure. But first of all it is a way of childbirth, we must respect this way of childbirth, caesarean section does not mean that the opportunity to establish intimate relationships will be lost, just a slight adjustment of time and role, the father is best to accompany the side during the operation, the father and the newborn together, the picture will be particularly touching, the following are some ways to establish an intimate relationship after the caesarean section.
Advice to mothers The current caesarean section stipulates that the mother must be given local anesthesia, that is, epidural anesthesia. Let him be jealous, lose consciousness, and go to the caesarean section to give the mother general anesthesia, which will make the mother sleepy during the operation, local anesthesia can make you stay awake and alert during the operation, you can still feel the opportunity to be in close contact with the baby, but do not feel the ongoing surgery, due to postoperative body pain and tiredness, especially when you can only hold the baby with one arm. (the other arm is still infusing), and you'll feel that close contact with your baby is limited.
You may only be able to make eye-to-eye intimacy with your baby for a few minutes at a time, but it is important that you make contact with your baby immediately after childbirth, whether it is gaze or gentle touch, although the way of establishing intimacy with natural childbirth is different, but important intimacy is established.
Advice to dads is that you can hold your wife's hand tightly during the operation, or you can cross the sterile step to see the baby being carried out, and the baby born by caesarean section will be placed in the next nursery box immediately after leaving the mother.com. Suction out of the blockage in the nose. If necessary, oxygen is also given, you must accompany you until the baby's physical functions begin to function normally, once the baby's condition stabilizes (usually it takes a little longer than the baby who gave birth to a normal birth), you or the midwife can hold the baby to establish an intimate relationship with the mother, and then when the operation is completely over, the mother has been sent to the postoperative observation room, you can take the baby to the nursery, enjoy your intimate time with the baby, hug him YaoYao, talk, sing and touch, These are all great ways for dads to build an intimate relationship with their baby if your baby needs special care.
As long as the medical staff allows, you can also stay next to the baby's cot, gently touch him and talk to him, let him hear your voice, you will find that the baby responds to your voice, because he is familiar with your voice when he is in the mother's belly, and I also find that those fathers who touch the baby after the baby is born and actively take care of the baby, it is easier to establish a close relationship with the baby in the future.
There are many fathers who are willing to accompany and some who are unwilling, from the operating room to the nursery, and then teach them to start taking care of the baby, here to tell a story. About Xiao Zhang. The story of his caesarean section baby before Xiao Zhang's wife Xiao Li gave birth was very worried to me, her husband did not care much about the process of her pregnancy, afraid that her husband would also snub her after she gave birth, thinking that she might have to wait until the child can play football, will remember to get along with the child, Xiao Zhang is tired, he feels that pregnancy and childbirth are women's business, he just needs to wait to see the results, and later after learning that Xiao Li must have a caesarean section, I tried to convince. Xiao Zhang went to accompany Xiao Li during the operation, and when the child was born and everything was normal, he wrapped the baby in a warm blanket. After the little guy enjoyed the sweet intimate time, Xiao Zhang followed him to the nursery, not surprisingly, his initial reluctance to participate in the emotion has disappeared without a trace, Xiao Zhang is still a little scared about the operation just now, but he is already happy to take care of the baby.
After arriving at the nursery, the baby needs someone to accompany him and give him some external stimulation, because when someone touches him and talks to him, the baby's breathing will be smoother, and I encourage him to touch the baby. Singing to the baby, patting the baby's back and showing his care and love for the baby, he looked at it for 4 weeks, made sure that there were no acquaintances around and agreed, do these things that mothers should do, I returned to the nursery half an hour later to see the big man Zhang standing there singing to the baby, they looked very good together, and told him that these initial investments would bring him long-term returns.
Other tips for building intimacy
Delayed routines Usually, after the baby is born, the midwife will have some routine to inject vitamin K into the baby's eye drops before holding the baby to the mother's side and bringing the mother and child closer. Ask the midwife to do these things an hour or more later. Let your baby enjoy their first intimate time with their mother. Eye ointment can temporarily blur your baby's vision. Or with your eyes closed. Your baby needs to see you clearly, and you need to see your baby's eyes.
Keep in touch
After your baby cuts the umbilical cord. Ask the midwife to place the baby on the mother's belly or chest unless for medical reasons the mother and baby have to be separated.
Let the baby pump his breast milk as soon as he is born
Most babies are satisfied by simply licking their nipples, but some babies have a strong need for breast milk after birth. As mentioned earlier, this stimulation of the nipple by the baby can promote the production of oxytocin in the mother's body. Oxytocin, on the other hand, can enhance uterine contractions and reduce postpartum bleeding. Early sucking can also promote the production of prolactin in the mother's body. Help you be a competent mother from the beginning.
Touch baby 3
Gaze at the baby
Newborns can see your eyes very clearly when they are 20 to 25 cm away from you, and the magic is that this distance is usually the distance from your nipples to your eyes, so when the baby eats breast milk, he can see you, let the baby stay within this distance to adjust your and the baby's head, so that you can look at each other and enjoy this short visual enjoyment. The baby will soon fall asleep, you are the baby's eyes, but also let you involuntarily produce great maternal impulses.
Talk to your baby
Natural whispered conversations develop between mother and baby in the first few hours of life. Sound analysis studies have shown that the unique rhythm of this conversation can have a soothing and calming effect on the baby.
