With the gradual decrease in the joint family cultures, things may have become independent but when it comes to bringing up a child there are a few issues. Female’s unguided fall under various day to day dilemmas to act wise and aid their newborn with the best. With no elderly to guide often she feels confused and hopeless. She doesn’t understand to wait for the natural healing or just jump to a conventional treatment. To add on the havoc these days is another dark aspect i.e. is the working mothers. The write is not to speak against a working mother rather I too appreciate and just have listed few points so that a mother understand situations and strikes a perfect balance between all demands and desires.

Mother and the father

No matter how ambitious a girl may be but when it comes to her child the mother is ready to devote. As a partner try and understand her mindset and don’t let her fall in any frustration and be her chirpy mother for good. She would never be happy to just let her professional efforts go in vain. She needs some time to adjust and a partner should help her do that.

Working with the child   

Try work in an office that aids with crèche facility: though not many offices do that but in case you have a company that does so then do apply. It may be stand still for your job for a while but as soon as the kid grows up you can again revert to competent opportunities.    

Working near the child

In case the above is not possible then at least look for a job that is nearby your residence or the day care where the child stays in the meanwhile, so much so that at least you can come back in case necessary. A father working nearby won’t be of much help as in case the breast feed is required then a mother is inevitable.

Opt for home

In case you have a choice to leave the child with a day care or at home with some help then do choose your home, as no one can guarantee a perfect hygiene in a day care. Also a nearby child infected with some ailment can act a potent transmitter for yours.

Do clean things yourself

Irrespective the child was with some maid or in a day care. Make sure that once in a day you yourself get the bottles the things used sterilised. Feeding bottles should be boiled in rolling water for about 5 minutes to keep things under control.

Do educate the help

Anyone who is with the child all time should be well familiar with any kind of allergies or intolerances a child may have. In case some children can’t bear cow milk and need to be fed only with soya milk or other options then it should be very much clear to the maid. The helper should be clear about the timings at which the feed is to be given and should be educated enough to keep the stored breast milk under absolute hygiene. Also the helper should have all your contacts in case there is any difficulty.

Things with working parents is tricky but can be sorted if one acts wise and never feel tired to follow those simple steps of cleanliness and hygiene.
