i have been quite stressed since a few days due to various reasons (not required to be discussed) and one thing i observed was how sensitive my 3-month old was to my unseen tension. He's not been eating well and his elimination is also affected. There is no other problem let me assure you that as everything else remains at status quo vis-a-vis my lifestyle. Even while i was pregnant with my baby, i had observed that i might get stressed, have a tiff or express anger. But i'll be normal after sometime but it used to take much longer for my baby to quieten inside me. i could feel that from increased movements in my abdomen.
my experience and reading (however little it may be) says that babies are very intelligent and sensitive. They somehow can sense that SOMETHING is WRONG. We just cant fool them and we also don't want them to get affected by our negative emotions. So what is the way out? Simple..... don't get stressed you might say..... but HOW??
i cant say that i have mastered the art of managing my emotions, to be truthful, i am nowhere near mastering it, but there are a few techniques which i feel have and will help.
1) om chanting or chanting any mantra
2) regaling in the joy of ones baby without worrying about the world
3) expressing gratitude
4) having meagre expectations from yourself at least till the baby is completely dependent on you
i believe in the practice-what-you-preach philosophy, so i try whenever i can, and it does help :-)
no point in adulterating the baby's purity. they're are so adorable, unlike us adults.....
