How Professional Services Can Help You With Your Baby

After a baby’s delivery, several key players help the mother take care of the baby. Besides the baby’s father, it might also be good to seek advice from reliable professionals, especially if this is the couple’s first child. As a mother, you should also identify any unusual experiences that may call for attention by professionals, who specialize in different areas. There are psychological, medical and physical specialists who will play a role at one stage or another before delivery.

Why do we need these professionals? Your objective is to finish this first period with as little problems as possible. To facilitate fast recovery and avoid complications, professionals come in. It is essential that both mother and baby visit specialists regularly. Frequent visits help in detection of any anomalies at the baby’s early age.

Singapore boasts a universal healthcare system, which means visits to a professional doctor, psychologist, dietician or nutritionist are subsidised. If both mother and baby follow the prescriptions of their physicians, the chances of complications are greatly lessened. You could pay a visit to the following professionals to see how they could be of help to you and your baby

Maternity Attendant

The work of your maternity attendant may not be over after you leave the hospital. They understand you better than any other professional who may attend to you. They know the complications you went through or have developed during women pregnancy. Therefore, they should always be consulted first. In most cases, maternity attendants will give you a detailed report of your health condition, which can help you compare yourself to other mothers during the recovery period.

Physician/ Personal doctor

The visit to a doctor should not come only when one is unwell. They help you and your child to understand morphological conditions like heart rate, blood pressure, temperature and respiration. In case there are any anomalies, the doctor can recommend hospital admission or outpatient services depending on the severity of your conditions. Visiting the doctor frequently will help you keep the baby and yourself in tip-top shape.

Dietician

The diet of the mother determines what the baby gets. Thus, it is vital that you get advice from a professional on the types of food in pregnancy. The nutritionist will also help you to know the best time to take a meal. A dietician can also recommend some supplements if the body is in dire need of some minerals or vitamins. The professional advice will help your confinement nanny when preparing your meals.

Psychologist/ Counselor

Good emotional health is significant to the physical recovery of a mother. Some conditions like postpartum depression and baby blues can occur within the first few months or weeks after delivery. You need to be cautious about your psychological health because it affects your relationship with the newborn and your other immediate family members.

Paediatrician

Your child needs some immunisation and healthcare by a qualified infant’s doctor. A baby’s body is different compared to an adult’s, which makes infant specialists very vital in ensuring that babies are at the pink of their health.

Confinement Nanny

Confinement nannies may not always be viewed as professionals, but surprisingly they are. Some of them are mothers work as part-time confinement nanny, which means they have walked the same path before. If not, they are trained to handle their attendees. They may be better equipped with the contacts of other professionals. Most are also trained to handle emergencies.

The professionals mentioned above help to play a vital role in a mother’s well-being. They all work together to ensure that you and your baby are comfortable and well taken care of. Even when one feels okay, it is advisable that you seek their counsel. They will share the experiences of other mothers which will help you cope with your situations. Most of them will be willing to attend to your needs at any time.  The moment you realise someone is always there for you and ready to help, life becomes easier. You enjoy the journey and your worries are cut short.
