Doula from the UK here. Sometimes taking the baby’s temperature regularly only makes new parents more paranoid, ..just think…New parents, keep baby’s head warm (that’s the biggest source of heat loss for a newborn who hasn’t got much hair). If you’re cold, baby is cold. If you’re hot, baby is hot. Just REMEMBER, baby is NOT running around like a headless chicken trying to get things done; nor are they walking and pushing a buggy. If you were lying in bed, trying to get to sleep, what covering would you need? MAY I ADD that this does NOT apply to highly air conditioned homes OR homes that are super well heated. If you were to lie down in your environment for over an hour the aircon will cool you, and the heating will warm you. Babies are not as good as you at regulating their body heat.

These were great tips! I’m so excited to feel like a boss mama putting these to use. Also the circumcision recommendation feels like another really good reason not to circumcise at all, an optional non lifesaving surgery that puts a baby through pain and has repercussions such as poor infant/parent relation just has wrong written all over it.

As a Swede, cutting parts from a baby is totally mental 🤯

[breaking_bear]

Outstanding and informative video! I'm so happy to see how woke you are on babies being able to feel pain. God bless you midwife Kyra.

Hello, thank you for all the tips I’m going to be a father in may🙏❤️ I’m truly invested trying to find ways that can make me and my wife’s life’s easier this is our first. And I’m stoked! Thanks again for the tips! I think it’s important for dads to be looking up tips too because if not it may put alot of the stress on the moms also i believe it would be super helpful!

I live in Belgium. Here, parents are taught to take the temperature rectally, as this is the most reliable measurement. No one does it any other way until past the toddler age. We are taught to dress babies just like we dress ourselves, +1 layer if it is cool (cause we are moving, and babies are lying still, thus can get cold faster than us), + a cover/blankee when going outside on a cold day. Feeding on demand is a standard. Oh, and genital mutilation - most cringe even hearing those words... Just saying how it is done in Belgium, generalizing.

Mercury termometar is unbeatable. I have it and it's never wrong. I also have 3 digital ones and they all show different results. Only mercury one is always accurate.

routine circumcision in the USA is just bizarre!

[marylouirick]

Very good, Thanks!
Make the Mom strong, she should eat beef liver 2× a week.
High in B12 and iron.Fry the Beef liver like steak 😋. My husband love eating it 2.

TLDR: 1) don’t overdress them 2) feed them on demand not on the clock 3) don’t circumcise for a week or two (I’d say just don’t?)

Gonna have to use a calculator for the farenheit - celsius

I’m giving birth at an alternative birth hospital, I know in obgyn care they do it right after birth, do you think that is an ok option too before going home?

[austinmerrifield]

The circumcision tip is so smart--I never thought of this before! Thank you!
