Baby's first Halloween is undoubtedly one of the most special, because it is really adorable to see our little one in a costume. And as we have seen year after year, newborns also join the celebration, even if they are admitted.
Those of us who have (or have had) a pet know that in a short time it becomes one of the family. That is why the arrival of a baby generally raises many additional doubts: will he admit it well? Will you want it? Will you feel jealous? If he is also used to sleeping with us and we are considering co-sleeping, the concern is triggered. That is why we wanted to talk about the subject with Tamara Hernán, Canine educator, veterinary nurse, founder of Growing Up Between Dogs and creator of Multispecies Breeding.
In 2017, in Spain, the father's surname ceased to prevail over that of the mother after the reform of the Civil Registry. From that moment, the parents must agree on the order of the surnames when registering a newborn child, although if this does not happen, and after a period of three days, it will be the person in charge of the Civil Registry who Establish said order in the best interest of the minor, but not by setting that of the father by default.
Those of us who have been mothers, surely we remember those days that were endless, when our babies were very young and there were days when we could hardly even shower. I now remember them with nostalgia, although at the time they were anything but idyllic and they were a small sample of how hard parenting can be and the loneliness that can be felt at that time in your life.
One of the most loving ways to calm our baby is to give him a gentle massage. To do this there is nothing like a good oil, since in addition to nourishing your delicate skin, it is not absorbed right away (as it happens with cream), so we can extend a little and enjoy a relaxing moment. If it is a newborn, we must pay attention to the product we use, since it must be specially formulated for their delicate skin.
The hands of a newborn touch us but they also surprise us by the force they have when squeezing, this is called a grasp reflex. When we put an object or our finger on the baby's hand, he takes it and squeezes it with his little hand in such a way that we could even lift him up without letting him go.
Fortunately, times have changed and we have proven that the father's role in parenting is very important for both mother and baby from minute one. Fortunately for everyone, behind are the times when he was a mere spectator (and sometimes not even that), in the intense and difficult first weeks of his son.
