This can be a bit nerve-wracking for you as a new mother. Want to be prepared? Read this blog for practical tips on your very first day and night with your baby.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-button-wrapper fusion-align-block\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" style=\"--awb-margin-bottom:20px;\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/verloskundigenamsterdamzuid.nl\/en\/contact\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">Schedule an Appointment<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Home Birth<\/h2>\n<p>If you give birth at home with a midwife, a maternity nurse will already be present to assist during labor. They are there to support us and help you with showering and the first feeding after the birth. So, if you\u2019re having a home birth, we will call the maternity care team for you, and they\u2019ll be there from the very beginning.<\/p>\n<h2>Hospital Birth<\/h2>\n<p>If you give birth in the hospital and are allowed to go home soon afterward, maternity care will usually come to you right away. You should call them from the hospital to let them know. If your birth was under medical supervision with an obstetrician, you may need to stay in the hospital. In general, you\u2019re entitled to maternity care through the eighth day after birth. Once you know when you\u2019ll be discharged, call the maternity care team to arrange when the nurse will come to you.<\/p>\n<h2>Immediate Maternity Care<\/h2>\n<p>The rule is that you will always receive maternity care right away, even if only for a short period. This gives you a chance to get started and receive initial tips and advice on feeding, changing, and monitoring your baby\u2019s temperature. This should be enough to get through the first hours until the nurse returns for a longer visit.<\/p>\n<h2>The First Night with Your Baby<\/h2>\n<p>If the maternity nurse isn\u2019t immediately available when you come home from the hospital, it\u2019s good to know what to do to get through that first day and night. In the hours after birth, your baby will likely be very alert, but soon after, they will usually fall into a deep sleep. Place your baby on their back in the crib or bassinet, and try to rest as well. Feeling anxious about the first night? Keep your baby close, perhaps by placing the crib next to your bed.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/verloskundigenamsterdamzuid.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/What-to-Do-if-Maternity-Care-Arrives-the-Next-Day.jpg\" class=\"featured-image-shortcode\" alt=\"What to Do if Maternity Care Arrives the Next Day\" title=\"What-to-Do-if-Maternity-Care-Arrives-the-Next-Day\" style=\"margin:20px 0px 20px 0px;display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;width:100%; height:auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/verloskundigenamsterdamzuid.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/What-to-Do-if-Maternity-Care-Arrives-the-Next-Day-66x66.jpg 66w, https:\/\/verloskundigenamsterdamzuid.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/What-to-Do-if-Maternity-Care-Arrives-the-Next-Day-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/verloskundigenamsterdamzuid.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/What-to-Do-if-Maternity-Care-Arrives-the-Next-Day-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/verloskundigenamsterdamzuid.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/What-to-Do-if-Maternity-Care-Arrives-the-Next-Day-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/verloskundigenamsterdamzuid.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/What-to-Do-if-Maternity-Care-Arrives-the-Next-Day-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/verloskundigenamsterdamzuid.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/What-to-Do-if-Maternity-Care-Arrives-the-Next-Day-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/verloskundigenamsterdamzuid.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/What-to-Do-if-Maternity-Care-Arrives-the-Next-Day-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/verloskundigenamsterdamzuid.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/What-to-Do-if-Maternity-Care-Arrives-the-Next-Day-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/verloskundigenamsterdamzuid.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/What-to-Do-if-Maternity-Care-Arrives-the-Next-Day.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\n<h2>If Your Baby Cries<\/h2>\n<p>If your baby cries during the night, it might be because everything is new, and they\u2019re adjusting to the transition. It\u2019s also possible that your baby feels a bit queasy after swallowing some amniotic fluid. Hold your baby close and try to soothe them by lying together calmly. You can place your baby on their side while holding them and gently pat their back. The warmth of your body, your scent, and the sound of your heartbeat can help calm them down.<\/p>\n<h2>Feeding Your Baby<\/h2>\n<p>Your baby may also be hungry. You can always try breastfeeding. If you\u2019re bottle-feeding, follow the advice you received in the hospital. If your baby doesn\u2019t want to eat, don\u2019t worry; they still have reserves from the womb on that first day. Feed or change your baby only when they signal a need; there\u2019s no need to wake them up. If breastfeeding is challenging on the first day or night, you can hand-express a small amount and feed it to them with a spoon. If you\u2019re planning to breastfeed, consider attending the Breastfeeding Workshop, which is held monthly in Dutch and English. You can find more information <a title=\"Breastfeeding Workshop in Amsterdam-Zuid\" href=\"https:\/\/verloskundigenamsterdamzuid.nl\/voorlichting-en-workshops\/workshops\/borstvoedingscursus\/\">here on our site (Dutch)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Baby\u2019s Temperature<\/h2>\n<p>Your baby might also feel cold. Make sure they are dressed warmly, and consider using a soft hat for that first night. Woolen items are ideal, as they are warm but don\u2019t overheat, and they\u2019re more comfortable than baby clothes made from other materials.<\/p>\n<p>Holding your baby close will also keep them warm. If you\u2019re using a hot water bottle, place it in the crib to warm it before putting your baby in, and never leave the hot water bottle in with your baby to avoid accidents or burns! If you\u2019re unsure whether your baby is warm enough, check their neck or take their temperature, which should be between 36.5\u00b0C and 37.5\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<h2>Taking Care of Yourself After Birth<\/h2>\n<p>You should also take care of yourself. Make sure to get plenty of rest but try to go to the bathroom every 3 to 4 hours, rinsing with lukewarm water afterward. If you develop a fever, contact your midwife. If you\u2019re lying awake at night with thoughts racing, jot down any questions to ask the nurse the next day. The first day and night can seem a bit overwhelming, but don\u2019t forget the most important thing: enjoy your newborn and take the time to settle into a rhythm together.<\/p>\n<h2>We\u2019re Here for You Throughout the Maternity Week<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you gave birth at home or in the hospital, we\u2019re here for you throughout the maternity week.
