Handling

Although we are often unaware of it, every touch we make influences the baby's perception of the new world into which it was born. Touching the baby, moving and handling the baby during normal daily activities is communication between the caregiver, the mother in particular, and the baby.

Do you have questions? Are you confused? You may be getting well-meaning advice from all sides, but what can you do when every piece of advice is different?

The first days and months of a baby's life are the most important, as its development is incredibly fast. From a newborn baby lying on their back, we have a walking and talking personality after a year. Every parent tries their best, but is often confused by the overload of information around them. So how to manipulate the child so that it leads to their healthy development. This can be clarified in a handling consultation with us.

If you want to find a path you feel comfortable and confident on, we can help you navigate it. Book a consultation at the Anahita Maternity Centre, you will gain valuable theoretical information and practical skills from trained professionals.

Topics we can address include:

• Carrying baby in arms
• Lifting and putting down
• Bathing the baby in the bath tub
• What stage of psychomotor development the baby is currently at?
• What should the baby be able to do?
• Why is the baby crying on the tummy?
• How can I practice and play with the baby at home?

A consultation with practical training is available:

1. During pregnancy, to prevent mistakes.
2. In the first days after the birth, during a home visit.
3. With the baby in Anahita.
