The
Precious
Days
She
wrote,
"For
almost
every
mother,
the
first
days
with
her
newborn
baby
are
precious
memories
to
be
cherished
forever.
They
are
surely
some
of
the
most
challenging
and
at
the
same
time
fulfilling
days
we
will
experience
as
women."
Some
Were
Frustrating
She
added,
"I
remember
some
long
days
and
nights,
without
much
sleep.
Some
were
frustrating,
as
I
tried
inexpertly
to
calm
my
crying
child.
Some
were
simply
bliss
-
as
I
treasured
the
new
life
that
I
had
been
able
to
bring
into
the
world."
I
Will
Always
Remember
The
First
Day
Of
Taimur's
Life
"I
know
I
have
been
fortunate
to
embark
on
the
journey
of
parenthood
-
and
I
will
always
remember
the
first
days
of
my
child's
life.
I
have
been
lucky.
For
too
many
mothers
in
South
Asia,
the
first
days
of
their
baby's
life
will
be
remembered
for
a
whole
different
reason,"
wrote
Kareena.
Give
Your
Baby
The
Best
Start
Kareena
also
gave
three
suggestions
to
the
new
mothers.
She
wrote,
"First,
we
need
to
feed
our
newborn
babies
in
the
best
way
that
we
can:
with
our
breast
milk.
To
give
your
baby
the
best
start
in
life
that
he
or
she
deserves,
start
breastfeeding
within
the
first
hour
of
life
-
and
feed
the
baby
only
breast
milk,
nothing
else."
Challenge
Beliefs
"Second,
we
need
to
challenge
harmful
beliefs
and
practices
that
are
putting
our
babies
in
danger.
We
need
to
entrust
ourselves
to
skilled
birth
attendants
who
are
properly
trained
to
look
after
us
and
our
babies
in
the
time
around
birth,"
added
Kareena.
Treat
Girls
&
Boys
Equally
"Third,
we
need
to
look
after
our
girls
just
as
well
as
we
look
after
our
boys.
As
females
ourselves,
it
is
incredibly
sad
that
baby
girls
do
not
always
get
the
same
care
that
baby
boys
do.
If
your
baby
girl
becomes
unwell,
get
help
for
them
just
as
quickly
as
you
would
do
for
a
boy,"
said
Kareena.
