Preparing for surgery
Do not make major changes to your childīs routines a week before surgery. If the baby still uses a pacifier to soothe them or a bottle at bedtime, now is not the time to wean or go cold turkey without. Let them keep their security and comfort tools until well healed.
Preparing for Surgery
Do not make major changes to your childīs routines a week before surgery. If they have a favorite toy, pillow or blanket, plan to take it with you to the hospital.
Preparing your Child for Surgery
Do not make major changes to your childīs routines a week after surgery. Adding the stresses of new skills or expectations can slow down the learning process and frustrate both of you.
Recovery time
If the child normally has an active social life, be sure to continue to include his and her friends in the recovery period after surgery. Your child is not contagious. His friends can learn a lot, too, that will make their acceptance of a similar experience a little easier.
Surgery Jitters
Reassure your child that when they wake up after the procedure is done, you will be there, waiting. Cross your heart.
