1 Sleep when they do.
2 Put them to sleep in their crib as soon as possible, they will learn to love their crib as a safe and secure place.
3 Remember it gets better, month 3 is like a break through.
4 Love and snuggle your baby as much as you can.
5 Trust yourself, you are always right.
6 Ask your doctor anything... I mean anything.
7 Offer a bottle once a day if you are breastfeeding, I wish I would have done that, she is now 9m and won't take a bottle.Can someone give this soon to be mom some wonderful tips to do when my baby arrive? Any advice is good advice?
Well, while you are still pregnant get as much rest as you can. If you have a significant other spend as much time with them as you can. Also don't stress out. It's hard to be completely ready for baby and you will end up rearranging when you get home with the baby anyway.. so just take it easy till little one gets here.
When you have the baby don't stress.... your instincts will kick in! You will probably end up having a million questions and it's ok to ask each and every one of them! And last but not least when the baby is a few months old and you are ready to let someone else baby sit (even if it's only for a few hours) take the opportunity to have some time to yourself or some time with your S.O. You time and time alone with your S.O. will do a world of good for you. IT will bring you and your S.O. together and it will give you time to enjoy something you like. Good luckCan someone give this soon to be mom some wonderful tips to do when my baby arrive? Any advice is good advice?
Sleep as much as possible...when the baby lays down, if possible, you lay down too!
dont worry about it just believe that you will be a wonderful mom so advice is just to relax and stay calm.
Get as much rest at the hospital as you can and when you go home, sleep when the baby sleeps. Congratulations and good luck!
'sleep when the baby sleeps', I know thats pretty common advice but its really easy to think 'oh, while baby's napping I'll just throw a load of laundry in, do some dishes and tidy'. So seriously...nap whenever you can! Also, accept help from people who offer and don't be afraid to ask someone close to you to come watch the baby for half an hour while you have a shower or something. Most people close to you will be DYING to help out anyways : ) other than that, enjoy ur little one, cause sooner than you think you'll be missing how tiny and peacefull they were : ) good luck and congrats!
1. Sleep is always a good thing.
2. If your breastfeeding, insist on breastfeeding as soon as the baby is born and skin to skin contact.
3. If you're having a vaginal delivery ask for a stool softener when you leave the hospital for your first couple of BM's b/c you'll be sore.
4. Arrange for someone to help you the first week, help around the house, cook, you know things like that.
5. ice packs for you bottom area, you'll be very sore and the coolness helps after a vaginal delivery.
6. Take it easy, don't do too much for at least the first 2 weeks, or unless your feeling up to it. (my biggest mistake)
7. Take LOTS of pictures, that baby is going to grow so fast!
8. Enjoy being a new mommy, its the best feeling in the world!
Good luck with everything and congrats on the baby
Hopefully that helps, just trying to think of things that I wish someone would've told me or I would've done haha
Sleep.... at every possible moment.
Outside of that, everything comes naturally, maybe not right away, but it does. Your baby will tell you what to do.
