Important rules to prepare for baby's arrival

After several days of fatherhood lifestyle, I really overlook some important rules that I should have know, learn and prepare before the baby's arrival. For friends or readers come across this blog, you really need to take a look of my summary here:-

1. Take Prenatal Classes
Prenatal classes help you know what to expect during pregnancy, labor and delivery and after your baby arrives. I really ignore this kind of classes offered by doctors' clinics, hospital and etc before the baby's arrival. I just don't feel comfortable and I think I'm very prepared to take care of a baby at that point of time. In fact, what I think was totally FALSE and as a new father there are too much for me to pick up in a short period. Therefore, I think a father should attend the prenatal classes together with the mother therefore, more understanding and assistance could be deliver whenever there are problem arise from the baby.

2. Banking cord blood stem cells
Subsequent to the delivery, I was attended by one of this private company in Malaysia known as StemLife. The Malaysia first cord blood and stem cell bank located at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, Kuala Lumpur. Well, Cord Blood also known as "placental blood". The better definition is the blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta following birth and after the cord is cut. Banking cord blood have proven in the pass that success in alot of transplants for children and adults. The service of StemLife is simple, Reserve the cord blood for you. So in future, stem cell can be treated inthe following diseases like Acute Leukemias, Stem cell disorders, histiocytic disorders, Liposomal storage diseases and many more. Both parents should understand this before this fly away. (p/s. every baby is unique, so don't miss it)

3. Get Ready for Breastfeeding
If you've chosen to breastfeed your baby, you must not miss this. An electronic breast pump is essential and save a lot of hussle for a mother. Whenever the mother has access of milk, she can pump it out and reserve in the fridge for another session of feeding to the baby.

So far this is the end of Lesson 1 of important rules to prepare for baby's arrival.
