After the birth of our daughter a lot of people were expressing their sympathy. Many people constantly called us and asked: "Isn't it cold for the baby there?" or "Do you have milk?" But almost nobody asked if our life changed after the delivery.

The washing is the main thing in family life that becomes more strained after the daughter was born. There were some reasons why we refused the usage of disposable diapers: firstly, according to some data, one child produces about 2.5 ton of stinking, poorly degradable waste during its usage while child can’t go potty. Secondly, this is the best way to prevent every possible skin problems: intertrigo, inflammation and so on. Thirdly, it is expensive. That’s why we use ordinal Soviet swaddling-clothes and German tissue multi-diapers. We have to wash almost every day. It’s notably that the washing machine can’t solve this question entirely. Children’s doodies have some special consistence and during the washing they get smeared on all the clothes that are in wash wheel (we have the semi-automatic washing machine and bring the water by hand from the brook, that’s why we can’t afford changing water many times). Because of it even if we use washing machine firstly we wash main spots by hands and it turns out to be more economical in water flow quantity.

The second thing that slightly has gone bad after our daughter was born is our sleep. The daughter has not yet understood what a day and a night are and how they differ in the consciousness of normal people. So, sometimes the idea comes to her mind that the night is an excellent time for training in something new, development and games. And for something else. It’s inconvenient.

And all the rest is normal. Since we have no special deals here, the washing and water bringing just flew into our daily routine.

Since we are not confined to any schedule, we become to sleep even more spontaneous than earlier. We required about two weeks to adapt to new family life. It is more interesting to live that way now.

Our daughter has enough attention. In general we strongly believe that her life is pretty good. She is in comfortable temperature conditions. She always has the breast with milk nearby. In any moment. She is dry and neat. She gets a lot of new experience, we sing her songs and play musical instruments. We do her special dynamics gymnastics for babies. In short, a bed of roses. There is nothing to be worry about.

She even doesn’t know any unpleasant procedures: trips to the polyclinic, for example, to be overhauled by a doctor, weighing and inoculations… Sometimes we pour cold water on her and carry out from the house for tempering. But it is only for good.

Yanne 07.01.14 в 17:25

I will not speak about inoculations a lot, just say that all pediatricians and neonatologists familiar to me don’t inoculate their own children because of some reasons. There is a great volume of information about this contradictory question. Someone is for, someone is against. We need to choose as usual.

One of the most important points in child’s question is that nowadays we slightly perplex regarding children’s needs. When you come into child’s supermarket the first thought that crosses your mind is something like: “I don’t have enough money to buy all these important child’s accessories!” In reality normal babies in the first moments of their life need only one really important accessory - the mother. Everything else is someone’s business.

This concerns everything. And especially it is about different jams with infant formulae. The ideal product for mammal`s baby is mother’s milk. It always emerges after child’s delivery. It is ideal in order of merit and composition. Why only humans discovered artificial formulae for their children? Seems strange. And some people really believe that formulae are better than natural breast milk, while wise multimillion Nature keeps aloof.

Also we have understood that children are free of charge and normally they don’t require almost any finance. They need only the mother, which has all that they need. Especially at the beginning of their life. Children don’t need beautiful new clothes (they overgrow them very fast and have no time to understand that these are clothes and they are beautiful) and there are many people who just dream of rid themselves of many kilograms of every possible clothes (which were presented for them previously). Children require no dummies because in normal they have the mother, natural but not the plastic one.

The only thing that need to be bought is the baby sling. If somebody don’t know what it is - it is a piece of tissue of special quality which gives a mom the opportunity to live a fulfilled life after the delivery of the child.

Yanne 08.01.14 в 07:53

Maybe if people have four hands instead of two then they don’t require the baby sling. As it happened other way, mothers’ lives with it are simpler than without it. In the baby sling the child pretends to sit in hands. At that time mother’s hand are free for any activity. Very convenient. But it is again the matter of choice, it is not for everyone. Somebody will choose swaddling, giving the dummy and lay the baby down to the perambulator. It’s the variant too. But we choose the baby sling. We have above ten reasons for it but this book doesn’t have the task to describe them. The baby sling is not as simple in usage as the perambulator, but it is worth the cost. If you are interested in it, you’d better read some special literature, it is easy to find the information today.
