Congratulations on being a new mother. You know that new feeling inside you. Well, your baby isn’t the only one who’s trying to adapt to the new world. You too are the one who’s trying your best to adopt the new life with a little soul totally dependent on you for his/basic needs. Life as a new mom is always amazing, often surprising and — let's be honest — sometimes completely intimidating. But being a newbie doesn't mean you can't handle your new role like a pro.
We’ve laid down the list of 5 tips that will help you cope up with the feeling of being a new mom.
1. Don’t pretend to be quiet when the little one sleeps
You would have heard people hushing away others when the little ones sleep. Well, you shouldn’t do that. When my little one was born, we made sure that we did our daily work as it was, talked on the phone, did the work in the kitchen and everything else also and my kiddo learned to sleep with all the noise also. Hence, you shouldn’t hush-hush everyone while your baby sleeps.
2. Be Prepared - in time
The first few weeks would be difficult for the little baby and for you too, but within that time-span, you’ll be able to understand the schedule of the little one. When he/she feels hungry, when does he/she sleep, how long does he/she sleep, and more. Having this known, you can be prepared well in advance to make sure that your little one doesn’t cry too loud that you get irritated.
3. Don’t let the baby sleep while feeding
When a baby’s stomach is full, he/she sleeps longer. However, parents don’t mind their kids sleeping while being fed and as a result, they wake up after a short nap. Rub your little one’s cheek while he’s/she’s eating/drinking to make the process faster and abstaining them from falling asleep. Once the kid has had the full portion of food, he/she would sleep to the fullest and wake up when he/she pee’s or is hungry.
4. Go online for buying the new clothes
Adjusting to the new feeling takes time and you want your little one to look stunning even if he’s pocket size (just kidding). You should not take a lot of pain and invest in kids online shopping when you don’t want to go out and shop. It leaves no room for mistakes (when you shop from a trusted store) and gets quality products too.
5. Let the baby bond with daddy
Your kid needs alone time with daddy too - every day. When the baby gets to see, feel and touch the father around on the regular basis, he/she will be able to bond with him too. That should be taken care of when it comes to being a mother.
