How In-Home Care Can Help New Mothers
Motherhood can be an intimidating process, and there may come a time when an expecting or new mother needs some help. Once the baby’s fever has subsided and the house becomes quiet, it’s important to provide assistance with their activities of daily living for a woman who is now focused on her child.
Feeding, nurturing, stimulating – these are imperative duties that must be completed every day in order for your newborn to grow up happy and healthy! As daunting as this responsibility might seem alone without any help from others around you; know they’re only here if you need them so don’t hesitate to ask because momma’s most important focus should always remain on her beautiful little one.
Postpartum Home Care Services for New Moms
In-home care offers many benefits for new mothers. This type of help generally addresses personal needs known as the activities of daily living (ADLs). These include a mom’s need and are usually required when she is first recovering from childbirth or having a difficult pregnancy. Additionally, skilled caregivers can assist with instrumental tasks that an individual may find important but do not involve any form of personal care; these types of ADLs are called
instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs).
The end-stage of pregnancy can be really tough on your body. In fact, in some cases, it’s so difficult that it requires someone to come into your home and provide care for you!
That person is called a personal caregiver. The majority of Moms who need one are those going through the latter stages of labor or new mothers with wounds from cesarean sections (and other operations) which still need time to heal properly before they’re able to go about their daily lives unassisted by others.
Here are few examples of tasks caregivers help moms do at home:
- Mobility: A new or expecting mother may have difficulty with ambulation. An in-home caregiver can ensure that the mother is safe and able to move around as much as she is allowed.
- Hygiene: An in-home caregiver can assist a mother with activities like washing and brushing her hair, or other tasks that her pregnancy or scarring is limiting her from doing.
- Meal Preparation: The joy of cooking for your loved ones is never more evident than when you’re expecting or caring for a newborn. Meal prep can be overwhelming, but an in-home caregiver like me will help plan nutritious dishes and nutrition tips to make sure the entire family eats well during this time.
- Housekeeping: Housekeeping can be a difficult thing to juggle when you have just had a baby. When mom has trouble getting around, the last thing she should do is try and take care of her house. A caregiver helps with daily chores like dishes, laundry, and general upkeep so that Mom can focus on nurturing their child–but only if they want to!
