Yiziphi ezinye zezinguquko enyangeni yesithupha yokukhulelwa. Okokuqala, umbungu uhamba kakhulu kule nyanga. Ingane isencane ngokwanele ukuthi ingakwazi ukuhamba ngokukhululeka oketshezini futhi ishintsha indawo kaningi. Uphefumula uketshezi bese elugwinya. Lokhu kusiza ingane ukuba ithuthukise imisipha esetshenziswa ekuphefumuleni nasekudleni.
I-fetus iqhubeka nokukhula okumangalisayo. Amafutha aqala ukwakheka ngaphansi kwesikhumba. Lokhu kuzogcina ingane ifudumele futhi ilawule izinga lokushisa lomzimba ngemva kokuzalwa. Izinwele ezinhle, ezibizwa nge-inugo, zikhula kuwo wonke umzimba. I-waxy ebizwa ngokuthi i-vernix isiza ukuvikela isikhumba somntwana endaweni enamanzi esibelethweni.
Izici zobuso zibukeka njengengane encane esanda kuzalwa. Izinzipho zomunwe nezinzwane ziyakhula nazo. I-Meconium yakheka emathunjini. Lena into emnyama, efana netiyela ozoyibona esitulweni sokuqala somntwana. Ingane ihambe ibanga elide ezinyangeni eziyisithupha ezimfishane.
Le ngane encane ibukeka icishe yakheke ngokuphelele. Amaphaphu awakathuthuki. Ukube ingane izozalwa manje, izochitha izinyanga eNICU. Ekupheleni kwenyanga, ingane izoba nesisindo esiphakathi kwekhilogremu elilodwa nengxenye. Uzoba phakathi kwamayintshi ayishumi nanye nayishumi nane ubude.
Kubalulekile ukuqhubeka nokunakekelwa okuvamile ngaphambi kokubeletha. Udokotela noma umbelethisi uzokwazi ukukuqapha wena nomntwana. Kulula ukuvimbela nokwelapha izinkinga uma umama enakekela kahle ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa. Ukuvakasha okuningi kuyefana. Uzokalwa futhi umfutho wakho wegazi uzohlolwa. Uzodinga ukunikeza isampula yomchamo. Udokotela uzolalela ukushaya kwenhliziyo yengane futhi alinganise ukuphakama kwe-fundal.
Uzozwa ukunyakaza okwengeziwe kule nyanga. Njengoba ingane ikhula, ukunyakaza kuba namandla futhi kuvame. Ungase uqale ukuqaphela amaphethini ngesikhathi lapho umntwana esebenza noma elele. Emzimbeni, ungase ube nezimpawu ezinjengokungagayeki kokudla, ukusha kwenhliziyo, ukopha izinsini, ukuqunjelwa kanye nezinhlungu ngaphansi kwesisu.
Abanye besifazane babona ukwanda kwesifiso sokudla ngalesi sikhathi. Yidla lapho ulambile. Odokotela abaningi batusa ukudla okuncane okuyisithupha okuhlukaniswe usuku lonke. Khetha ukudla okunempilo ozokudla phakathi kokudla. Lokhu kuzoqinisekisa umsoco ongcono kakhulu wengane yakho. Ukudla okunempilo nakho kusiza ukulawula ukukhuluphala.
Njengoba isisu sakho sikhula, ungase uthole isisu sakho silume. Lokhu kubangelwa ukunwebeka kwesikhumba njengoba umntwana ekhula. Isikhumba esomile singenza ukulunywa kubi nakakhulu. I-lotion yomzimba ingasiza ngokuluma. Gcoba i-lotion ethambisayo ngemva kokugeza ukuze usize ukugcina isikhumba sithambile futhi sinciphise ukulunywa.
Uhlela ukuyondla kanjani ingane yakho? Ochwepheshe bayavuma ukuthi ubisi lwebele lungcono kakhulu kubantwana. Kunezinzuzo eziningi kubo bobabili umama nengane ekunceliseni ibele. Khuluma nodokotela wakho mayelana nokuncelisa. Isihluthulelo sempumelelo ulwazi nokwesekwa. Funda ngokuncelisa ukuze uthole ulwazi. Cabangela ukujoyina iqembu labasekeli elifana neLa Leche League.
Uma ufuna ukuncelisa, bhalisela ikilasi. Lokhu kuhlinzekwa ezibhedlela nasezikhungweni zokubeletha ezweni lonke. Buza udokotela wakho noma ushayele isibhedlela ulwazi futhi ubhalisele ikilasi. Lezi zifundo zinikeza ulwazi olubalulekile futhi zihlanganisa izinto ezikhathazayo ezivamile. Ukuthatha ikilasi kuzokwandisa ukuzethemba kwakho futhi kusize ukuqinisekisa impumelelo.
