12 trick, postpartum mother confidently returns to the workplace.

Today's society is mostly a double-income family, and many mothers are ready to go back to the workplace to work hard after giving birth to their children. What preparations do mothers have before returning to the workplace? How to adjust working life and arrange parenting time reasonably? !

Avoid six NG situations. I am very happy to return to work immediately after 56 days of maternity leave. As an ordinary office worker, overtime is inevitable. Sometimes cases come one after another, and she has to take time out of her busy schedule to go to the nursing room for milking, which makes her sigh that time is really not enough. But fortunately, my in-laws take care of the baby and don't have to rush to pick up the baby from work, otherwise she won't know what to do.

For mothers who return to the workplace after childbirth, the common problems are breastfeeding and collecting milk. Xie, the person in charge and director of Kazuki Watanabe musician Postpartum Care Home, explained: "For example, if the work is busy or the work at hand is continuous, there is no time for milking.

In addition, the company has not set up a nursing room, which makes mommy have to hide in a small warehouse or conference room to milk, and will also reduce mommy's willingness to continue breastfeeding. In addition, Director Xie also observed that mothers engaged in service industry or business are worried that their milking time will increase the workload of other colleagues, thus reducing the number of milking. If they come home after a whole day's work, the milk quantity will be greatly reduced, and even returned because of fatigue.

At this time, if the family or elders find that the mother's milk is getting less and less, and they are worried about the baby's malnutrition and question the mother, Director Xie pointed out: "Coupled with the pressure of work and colleagues, it is easy to affect the mother's mood and even give up breastfeeding. 」

In addition to the problem of breastfeeding, postpartum mothers are also troubled, and the care of babies often makes novice parents feel difficult. Director Xie pointed out that the mother who is about to return to work is most worried about whether the baby can sleep and whether the baby will cry for unknown reasons, especially if the baby has colic in the middle of the night and keeps crying, so novice parents are easily at a loss. If they have to go to work the next day, they will suffer twice as much physically and mentally.

Mommy returns to the workplace. It is common that many mothers rush back to work after 56 days of maternity leave, but what often happens when working mothers raise children?

NG-& gt； 1. Breastfeeding is inconvenient

First of all, it is not convenient to feed or breastfeed. In addition, it may be difficult to find time to milk after work, only to find that breast milk can not be stored in ice. Director Xie further explained: "Some companies don't have refrigerators, or store all kinds of food sent by colleagues in refrigerators, and even colleagues often open and close refrigerators, which affects the temperature of ice storage and makes mothers worry that it will affect the quality of breast milk. However, Director Xie will still advise her mother not to worry too much and encourage her to find time to milk and not to give up breastfeeding.

NG-& gt； 2. Baby * * * confused

If you often feed your baby with a bottle, it is easy to confuse your baby. Director Xie pointed out: "When bottle feeding, the baby feels that it is easy to drink milk, but when parents feed, they must suck hard. When the baby is used to bottle feeding and the mother wants to kiss feeding, the baby is easy to get angry and cry because of the different ways of drinking milk, and some mothers may give up kissing feeding. 」

Therefore, Director Xie encouraged her mother to kiss and feed as much as possible after coming home from work. She explained that it is actually easier to kiss and feed than bottle feeding, and there is no need for milking, warm milk, bottle washing and disinfection. And it also helps to secrete milk.

NG-& gt； 3. Working overtime or in shifts

For postpartum mothers who have just returned to the workplace, overtime is a common problem. Especially after returning to work, a lot of work needs to be re-understood and familiar, which increases the extra workload, thus delaying the time to pick up the baby from the nanny's house. Even some mothers often work overtime, directly letting their in-laws or nannies take care of their babies 24 hours a day and become "holiday parents". In addition, some mothers need to work shifts or night shifts, and constantly deploy the baby's caregivers or methods, which also makes mommy very annoyed.

NG-& gt； 4. Infant care methods

Starting to plan the way of baby care after seven or eight months of pregnancy. The baby's nanny style often bothers novice mommy. Do you want to ask your in-laws for help? Looking for a nanny Or a baby care center? Director Xie suggested that mothers should start planning the baby-rearing mode when they are seven or eight months pregnant and make arrangements before delivery. Otherwise, 56 days of maternity leave, excluding 30 days of confinement, and the remaining 20 days to find an ideal nanny or nursery center will make parents feel stressed and caught off guard.

As for the channels for finding nannies or baby-care centers, Director Xie pointed out: "You can check the legally registered baby-care institutions on the websites of social security bureaus of counties and cities, or you can check the general situation and contact information of nannies on the website of the Social and Family Department of the Ministry of Health and Welfare (cwisweb.sfaa.gov/); You can also join the website members and apply for matchmaking service online. 」

NG-& gt； 5. Parenting issues

Babies will have different development and changes at each stage. For example, newborns may defecate 6 or 7 times a day, which is easy to overflow milk; In the second month, it is easy to colic. Therefore, whether the parturient is assisted by her parents after delivery or chooses to have a confinement in the confinement center, Director Xie suggested that if the physical condition and physical strength of the parturient allow, contact with the baby as much as possible will help to understand the child's schedule and habits, so as not to go home after work or even have to re-adapt to the baby's schedule.

NG-& gt； stature

The recovery of postpartum figure often makes beautiful mommy feel nervous, especially the obesity of chin, abdomen and waist, which makes mommy who is ready to return to the workplace worry about her appearance and lack of security.

12 trick, confident and calm to work! What preparations do mothers have before returning to the workplace? Director Xie listed the following points for mothers' reference, hoping to give hard-working mothers a cover for parenting in the workplace.

0 1 Adapt the baby to bottle feeding

Prepare some close-fitting clothes or handkerchiefs for caregivers. In the past, when the novice mommy entrusted the baby who was used to breastfeeding to the wet nurse, the baby cried all day and didn't eat milk because it didn't adapt to bottle feeding. Therefore, before mommy is ready to return to work, especially the mommy who is used to breastfeeding, it is suggested that the baby should start learning and adapt to bottle feeding.

In addition, Director Xie pointed out: "Some babies can recognize smells. When entrusting it to a wet nurse or elder, you can also prepare some mother's close-fitting clothes or handkerchiefs for the caregivers, so that the caregivers can put handkerchiefs next to the baby when they hold it, so that he can feel safe when he smells the smell of his mother, as if his mother is hugging him or feeding him. After all, after the baby is born, it is mostly taken care of by the mother, and the relationship between them is very close. 」

Prepare breast-feeding products

If the breast-feeding mother wants to use the work break to milk, Director Xie pointed out: "Prepare milking machines, milk collection bags, and even cold-keeping bags, cold-keeping agents and other breast-feeding products. Even calculate how many groups the milking machine has to prepare. If you are worried that only one set is not enough, you may need to prepare one more set for the company. In addition, if you commute for a long time, you should also prepare relevant equipment to preserve breast milk. In addition to the cold-keeping bag, you may need to put an extra bag of cold-keeping agent.

Arrange baby care

In principle, parents are advised to find a nanny or nursery institution to facilitate the transfer of their babies. Director Xie said: "If there is no suitable nanny or nursery institution near home, you can also consider working near your workplace, otherwise it will be time-consuming and inconvenient to deliberately go around to pick up your baby at work. 」

Let the baby adapt to the new environment and new routines in advance.

If you decide to invite a nanny or in-laws to take care of your baby, it is best to familiarize your baby with the environment and work and rest half a month earlier, and at the same time cultivate a tacit understanding with caregivers. And mommy will have more time to communicate with the nanny and exchange ideas or ways of parenting. In addition, you can also prepare some mother's clothes for your parents-in-law or nanny to prevent your baby from crying because of the smell.

Draw up a baby-sitter law.

We can first imagine the way of babysitting, in case the nanny suddenly asks for leave or the in-laws are inconvenient to take care of the children. For example, ask for leave from the company, or ask other relatives and friends to take care of it for a short time. In addition, you can also know the nearby baby-care institutions in advance, and if you really need temporary care, someone will help.

ask for support

Remind mom not to take care of the children all on herself. Director Xie reminded: "You can seek help from the resources around you in time, such as letting your husband share the housework, or occasionally asking your in-laws or parents to look after the baby. 」

Adapt to work arrangements in advance

Two months' maternity leave is long or short, but it's best for mommy to work and rest according to the schedule two weeks in advance, so as to prepare psychologically for returning to the workplace and help herself get into the state quickly when she returns to the workplace.

08 dress up

Usually during maternity leave, mommy stays at home and takes care of the baby wholeheartedly. When preparing to return to the workplace, she should prepare suitable clothes or suits and find time to take care of her appearance.

Cultivating exercise habits is conducive to physical recovery.

Cultivate good exercise habits, such as yoga, running and walking. It not only helps to restore physical strength and figure, but also makes children more energetic and energetic.

10 seeking support groups

Novice mommy often doesn't know how to deal with difficulties or setbacks when she takes care of her children alone. It is suggested that mommy know more about the parents of children of the same age and exchange views with each other. If a good tacit understanding is cultivated and she can also support and assist each other in the process of taking care of the baby, then parenting will not be so difficult. Besides, sharing experiences can avoid making you feel lonely and make you feel more cheerful and optimistic.

1 1 supplement nutrition and care for wounds

Postpartum mothers, especially lactating mothers, suggest continuing to supplement calcium and iron. As for the mother of caesarean section, it is necessary to care for the wound with beauty glue or patch for half a year to avoid leaving scars.

Keep a good mood

When preparing to return to the workplace, in addition to being psychologically prepared, the most important thing is to face the next job and parenting life with a happy mood. In addition, although breast milk is the best gift for babies, it helps to improve immunity and other benefits. However, if it is not convenient for milking because of work reasons, Director Xie reminded mothers not to put too much pressure on themselves and feel that they have not fulfilled their responsibilities.

Recommended milking time for working moms 1. Before going out in the morning: kiss or milk before going out in the morning to dredge the breasts and avoid blockage. 2. lunch break: rest at noon, and you can milk once after dinner. It is recommended to drink more soup and water before milking to help milk secretion. 3. Before work: squeeze again before work. 4. Go home for pro-feeding: try to use pro-feeding after going home to help lactation. Husband and wife cooperate, and work-parenting is handy. Don't forget to take care of yourself. When the mother is working and entering the workplace for the first time, mommy may feel too busy, especially when the baby loves to cry or stick to people, which is even more miserable. But with the adjustment of work and rest, when children gradually adapt to the daily work and rest, I believe everything will get better and better.

In addition, the participation of the other half is very important in parenting or raising. If Mr. Wang Can lends a helping hand at an appropriate time, for example, helping to clean and disinfect bottles; Or the wife has finished feeding, the husband burps the baby and so on. , can reduce the burden on mother, let mother have a rest. Director Xie pointed out: "Qi Li is the best way to take care of and raise children. 」

As for the workplace, you can let colleagues know that it takes time to milk because of breastfeeding. Maybe some colleagues are mothers, and they can share their experiences with each other. However, apart from not delaying work because of milking, I usually communicate with my colleagues and help each other, so that we can understand each other better.

Finally, Director Xie reminded hard-working moms not to forget to take good care of themselves, such as supplementing nutrition moderately, when both work and parenting are burning. When you are tired, please ask for help to rest yourself. Physical and mental health can make work and parenting easier.
