    • You should not ask questions such as whether you are giving birth by cesarean or normal, or you are giving milk or formula milk. Questions that you think are simple can sometimes make the person you are visiting uncomfortable. Especially if you talk more about your own experiences during childbirth. Also avoid giving excessive advice about how he should treat the baby.

  • Respect the privacy of mothers and babies



    • It is better if you leave the room if the mother you are visiting will breastfeed or your baby will suddenly cry because he feels uncomfortable.
