|
New mothers are turning to the internet for help with their newborn, rather than their midwife, a study has shown
Being a new mum can be very difficult and stressful, not only are you having to operate with less sleep but you also have the responsibility of looking after a baby.
The study, undertaken by Google, found that in the first week of becoming a parent, a women’s internet searches double, with some of the most common questions being:
• How to change a nappy
• How to bath a baby
• How to put a baby to bed and help them sleep through the night
The results from the study reveal that many first time mums feel more comfortable turning to the internet for help, thanks to its convenience.
Sudocrem has teamed up with baby expert and midwife, Nikki Kahn to launch a series of mini-movies to answer some of the top most Googled baby related questions.
Nikki said, ‘All first time mums have questions and no query is ever too small, with many mums being in the same position of not knowing who to ask. These movies should alleviate those concerns and help you feel more confident with your new baby.’
