Transition to Parenthood and Infancy
Bonding
Bonding
: a close connection, especially a physical bond, between parents and the newborn in the period shortly after birth.
Nurturing behavior is facilitated by the hormones oxytocin and lactin.
While initial days are important, it is a qualitative and continuous process
NOT a critical period
Important for parents to consider what would be best to optimize emotional connectedness, as long as all of baby’s needs are being met
Transition to Parenthood
Physical and Emotional Recovery of Mother
Recover physically and adjust to massive hormonal shifts in her body.
Mother more prone to infections, health issues, constipation, hemorrhoids, mastitis
Changes in the Family Dynamics and System
The partner needs to become a part of this new threesome while supporting the birthing person in recovery.
Role and status of siblings or other family members
New parenthood may lead to more traditional gender roles, particularly in heterosexual couples
Sharing caregiving predicts greater happiness and sensitivity to the baby.
Financial instability or insecurity
Postpartum Depression / PPMAD
Some women experience postpartum depression, mood or anxiety disorders, which emerges or strengthens after childbirth
Paternal depression, like maternal depression, can interfere with effective parenting.
PPD can have serious negative effects on all domains of child development.
Early IDENTIFICATION, treatment, and support is vital.
Intervention for New Parents
PPMAD usually temporary and responds well to intervention - rest, self-care, social support, therapy and, if needed, medication.
High-risk parents, such as those with med history, or in special category, may benefit from more intensive intervention.
Low-income parents may require tangible support (food, money, transportation, affordable child care).
Like any new life changes and transitions --- adjusting to life with new baby takes TIME!
Prebirth counseling can ease the transition to parenthood
