Advantages of having children in Australia

Now many people go to Australia to have children. Australia is a country that strongly advocates breastfeeding. You can see brochures promoting breastfeeding in all clinics, hospitals and pharmacies. Let's talk about the benefits of having children in Australia first.

One of them is that it is best to put the baby on the mother's chest immediately after birth, because the mother and the child are connected, and the baby's crying smell and skin contact will stimulate your hormone secretion and promote breast milk production.

Generally speaking, parturient women give birth to milk within 48 hours after delivery, and caesarean section is later. Compared with Australian mothers, Asian mothers give birth later. During the period before raw milk, Australian hospitals strictly control the feeding of formula milk to newborns. They think that any mother has colostrum, even if the amount is small and the newborn's stomach is small, it should be enough. If the baby is hungry within 48 hours, it is the best time to train him to drink breast milk, and basically no formula milk will be provided. When I was born in China, I saw that I had no milk. The nurse immediately fed the baby milk powder with a small measuring cup. I remember when Will was born, he had a good appetite and drank 60ml of formula milk in one breath. Poor Chris insisted on sucking his mother's milk until the third day, and the hospital agreed to give him formula milk. At this time, his weight has dropped by more than 10%! Grandparents were so distressed that it was not worth watching her pink face become yellow and thin.

For mothers who have difficulty breastfeeding, Australian hospitals will provide expert lectures and consultations. Experts will go to the ward to teach you how to breastfeed, and give a breastfeeding plan at the emergence stage, such as how many hours to breastfeed manually, how many milliliters of milk to feed your baby at a time, and whether it is necessary to supplement formula milk. The health department of Queensland government, which belongs to the Gold Coast, will also provide midwife home service twice after you leave the hospital to see how the mother is recovering, whether the baby has gained weight and what is wrong with breastfeeding. Gabriel and Cathy, two midwives who came to my home, looked like they were in their fifties. Although their salary is not high, they love this job very much and hope to help more mothers with their accumulated experience over the years.

Off-topic, I found that the career pursuit of Australians is very different from that of China people. They don't take high position as the standard to measure their career success, but pay more attention to their personal interests and whether this job can really help others. 50% of Australian mothers are housewives, busy with housework and children every day. At home, many friends around me are saying that work pressure is great, but how many can really be full-time mothers? There are also many friends who say they are tired of interpersonal relationships in big companies, but how many people can really put down their fame and fortune and do some insignificant and meaningful work?

"Let go" is really not a simple matter, nor is it a simple matter of how to live a full life after letting go. So not everyone is suitable for immigration (www.cbiec.cn). Even if you meet the requirements of immigration economically or technically, your lifestyle or mentality has not been adjusted well, people have moved away, but your thoughts are still wandering. Frankly speaking, even though Bao's mother has gone abroad and started an immigrant life, seeing all kinds of business photos taken by her girlfriends in the circle of friends sometimes reminds me of the satisfaction brought by work.

Every community in Australia has a child health center, and different activities are arranged for children of different ages every day from Monday to Friday. There are interactive music classes for children aged 0-5 on Monday, and children's game classes for 6 weeks to 6 months on Tuesday; Wednesday is an activity for babies of different ages to weigh and nurses to answer questions; Thursday is baby massage and multicultural exchange activities; Friday is a brain training class for children aged 3-5. All activities are free, just make an appointment in advance.

In short, the comprehensive medical security system makes me very worried about giving birth in Australia, because you are definitely not alone in this "battle".
