Tips for Baby's First Months

Having a baby is such an exciting time, but it can also be very overwhelming. Here are some tips for surviving your baby’s first few months of life.

• You need all the sleep you can get so sleep when your baby is. It can seem hard to do when so much needs to be done, but it can all wait and you need your sleep. 
• Always accept help when it’s offered. Even if it’s doing the dishes, some laundry or bringing by a meal, take all the help you can get. 
•  Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Having a new baby at home combined with sleep deprivation can become overwhelming. Call on friends, family and your partner to help you with baby and around the house.
•  Feed on demand.  Let your baby take the lead, his/her stomach is not developed enough yet to hold enough food to last for long time, they will let you know when they need more food, so listen to them. 
• Don’t stress over sleep training. Little baby’s have no concept of time, and they need the constant nourishment  day and night to keep their rapidly growing body and developing brain in top shape.  
• Take time to bond it’s so important.  Eye contact and skin contact are great for bonding. Feeding is a great time for eye and skin contact, also try massaging and of course lots of hugs and kisses. Try taking a bath with baby, not only is it a great bonding opportunity but also a great memory.
•  Don’t worry about breaking them. They are not as fragile as they look, actually they are quite resilient. Use your instincts and ask for advice when you need it, and baby will be just fine. 
• Swaddle. Yes swaddling can be your best friend to help calm a fussy baby.  
• Prepare meals to freeze. When you are cooking something that can be frozen, put on extra and freeze it. Having meals frozen in the freezer can make a long day a little brighter.
• Baby wearing. This can make life so much easier. Wear your baby while, doing things around the house, going for a walk, or shopping. It keeps strangers away, and best of all both hands free. Baby's love the closeness to you and usually have a great nap.

Following these tips can make the first few months with your new baby a little easier, and more enjoyable. Don’t forget to take lots of pictures and keep records of milestones! Time goes by in the blink of an eye, and memories will last forever.
