source

Hello my fellow steemians ! Nice to write again here on how my today went, Many thanks for your supports, votes and encouragements. I spent this Sunday by offering a postpartum care to my dearest sister Abasi-ama, she delivered of a baby girl a month plus ago and I wasn't chanced enough to assist as it supposed to be.
After delivery a new mother needs an adequate postpartum care such as birth baths, body massage, good timely nutrition, enough sleep and rest is that extra care attention rendering to a delivery mother in order to recover herself back after putting to birth.This is exactly how I spent my Sunday doing the usual thing pertaining to postpartum. .I had to go even though my busy schedule didn't give me time to do as I should, I tried to use today,my loving Sunday being my less busy day to go, this is because I'm her older sister and too I want to learn how to do those Postpartum things by myself.

What I do in my home before going to my sister's house

As I woke late from my bed , I meditated prepared to go to my sister's house ,I didn't go to church , I dropped my Sharon at my cousin's house to avoid her distractions, I took a vehicle straight to her as she was waited eagerness to see me after long promising her I was going to come help her.

On reaching there, I started arranging her room and the baby sets to bathe her. I boiled water for her bathe , while the postpartum food was cooked by a friend of hers. I started to bathe the baby but you cant't believe I didn't know how to do it perfectly, someone else helped me bathe my Sharon till three months before I started bathing her alone, so somehow I'm still a Learner 😅😅 my sister came and overtook that of bathing the baby.

Bathing the mother

I boiled water in a big iron bucket to give the delivery mum a hot bath with massage, this is the usual tradition using towel or heavy piece of rapper to soak in the hot prepared dettol water and press on the woman's belly and then all over the body for removing of blood clots and contracting her body back which expanded as a result of the pregnancy.The hot Bath also offer some soothing relieves from pregnancy stress.

What she ate

I offered her hot pepper soup with rice , as the most important of the routine meal for delivery mum so as to boost breast milk and the hot pepper soup to touch down her womb to remove or stop blood clots.Mind you I wasn't the one who cooked that food , I only dished out and encouraged her to eat.

After I assisted her with all I could for the day I went back headed to my home at around 6pm when I immediately branched @okere-blessing's shop and had her clarify me on certain things I don't understand yet still on Steemit, after then I left to my house ,had dinner with my family,had a nap and woke up to write.
That is my diary for today, thank you for ready through .
