If my son sleeps, (all time he was sleeping) I felt very bored... After 2 days of my delivery, I felt I should get up soon and take my son. So I tried hard to get up soon. Dr.Saidevi advised me not to get up from bed but you know I can’t control anything. I don’t have control over anything.
If I felt like doing something, I will do it, I won’t think of consequences and moreover I won’t think after that also.
Finally, on March 3rd, in the morning we (me and my baby) are alone in that room. All my injected areas are removed, so I try to get up from the bed, he is lying beside me. I took him. I remember people keep on saying that we should be very careful while taking new born babies that to for the first three months.
I took him very carefully, with my right hand holding his head and the other hand to hold his body. I felt it. He is very lite and moreover they have injected him and that injection needle is still in his hand. It’s very difficult for him to move that hand.
He lost weight because of that fever. I felt upset to see him like that. There was a lot of difference between his appearance from the first day and the fourth day. I felt that he is very flexible; he is more stretchable. Even that single cot is not enough for him. There was no place for me in that single cot. I even requested for double cot :)
Doctor strictly advised not to bath him for at least a week. So he took towel bath twice in a day. I was very happy to do that, because it was very easy.
On March 7th, my in-laws decided to do a pooja for the new boy so they have decided to discharge us from the hospital. I got ready and he was sleeping on my lap. The car has come, I was stepping towards the car, and after long back I saw the sunlight, my eyes got irritated because of the nature light. This cute fellow is sleeping nicely in my cousin’s hand.
He was covered in a pink colour towel and dressed up nicely in blue colour dress. We entered into the hall. He was sleeping all the time. I finished taking bath, finished my breakfast and waiting for him.
The moment which I scared for..., has come... Hari’s aunty was ready to bath him. Bath kid is ready, new towel, new Johnson’s baby soap, new baby oil, and some homemade powder for his bald head. You just can’t see the child while they are taking bath because they won’t stop crying till they finished the bath. I was expecting the same.
He was placed on aunt’s legs. A cup of warm water was poured on him. All were really surprised, he didn’t even shout or cry or make any noise. He was very silent, till they finished the bathing process for him. They put that homemade powder and wash it. Then they rub his hand and leg and bath him with the baby soap, finally they took off his bangles and break it at each end.
Oops I was really happy to see him like this.. with all the usual make ups :)
That was indeed a nice experience with his first bath.
