Don't let others bully you about what they think your baby needs. My baby is 7 weeks old. WHen he cries, people are always ready to jump in and tell me what he wants. They will say, he is hungry go feed him (usually after I just got done feeding him), he needs a new diaper, he wants to be laid down, you have to hold him this way, you have to swaddle him, etc.. At first people would tell me this and I would not think their suggestion was the problem, but then I would think maybe they are right, so I would do their suggestion and it did not work. It did not take me long to figure out, that I usually know what is wrong, not others. If he is tired and they tell me to feed him, I just kindly say ';no he is not hungry he is tired';. I snuggle him and he falls asleep.
YOU are the mommy (or daddy) so trust your instincts!





Also make friends with the staff at the hospital when you deliver. Then, when you get your baby home that first week and go all paranoid in the middle of the night, you have someone to call!





(I know, that was more than one thing....)
My advice would be Do not vaccinate your children unless you know exactly what chemicals are in the vaccines. These vaccines are made by pharmacuetical companies that depend on you getting sick, in order to sell you more drugs.


That is how they stay in business, and have become so powerful and wealthy. They (the pharmacuetical companies) only have 1responsibility, and that is to their shareholders. Their responsibility is to make their shareholders as much money as possible. Period.





In a report in Natural News.com dated Monday November 19, 2007 their was an article written titled ';Children were being herded like cattle into a Maryland Courthouse for Forced Vaccinations as Armed Police and Attack Dogs were Standing Guard';. I urge every parent to read this article, it was very well written, very informative,and somewhat scarry to think that our Government Health Departments think they have that much power and authority as to force parents to make their children get vaccinated at gunpoint, or with the fear of jail time for refusal to comply.





Also in a different report which can be found in Republic Magazine issue 13, some vaccines were suspected of causing Autism,Asthma, Diabetes, Siezure Disorders, Attention Deficit Disorder,ADDHD, and many other diseases that effect a wide variety of people.

Our own bodies and our children are the most precious part of us as a family unit, and nobody, no Government Agency, no Governmental Departments, has the right to tell you what you can put in, or keep out of yours or your childrens bodies. You as parents are the ultamite decision makers in this aspect of yours and your children's lives.





If need be many parents who feel the same way need to stand up to these agencies and just say NO stay out of our lives. I am not talking about just a small community here or there. I am talking about a nation wide community of parents standing together and telling the government HELL NO. The choice you make for you and your children will be yours.
Whatever you do cherish every moment because the saying ';they grow up fast'; is 100% true. You will only have a baby for a short time so make sure you love him and hold him and cherish everything- even waking up in the middle of the night. I feel like I just had my son last week and he is 13 months old!
Sometimes the baby will cry, and just because you can't get them to stop, doesn't mean, you suck at being a mom!!!





I had a colicky baby, and it was hard some times not to feel like a failure, when I couldn't get my daughter to settle, or be content.
one thing that i learnt from my own motherhood experience is that never start putting ur baby with you in ur bed. thats what i did with my daughter because i just love her so much, and did not want that little thing to be alone at night, just love to cuddle with her. So, i started putting her with us in our bed. now she got so used to sleep with me on the side that when i wake up and get out of bed, she wakes up right away. and to make things worse i cannot even turn my back on her, she wakes up right away when she realises i am not facing her. even during the daytime naps, she wants me sleeping by her side. this way she cannot get enough sleep that a baby should. SO, ALWAYS PUT UR BABY IN CRIB.
Do not compare ur baby with anyone else..during the first few months there wud b lots of ';oh is he/she not doin this..my kid did this at this age nd so on';..every baby is unique..dnt get disturbed when u hear such thingds..njoy ur motherhood bcoz once the baby grows up u will miss all the past stages..its not easy but one look at the baby nd u will forget all ur probs..no one teaches a bird to fly same way u will be the best judge..ur motherly instincts will guide u..so njoy this God's gift to womankind..motherhood..lols
Congratulation! Take care your baby with all your love.





What a loveliness a baby is.

Good luck!
To the mommy: Don't feel discouraged the first few weeks of breastfeeding, it does get easier!





To the daddy: Help your wife out around the house!
dont worry about the milestone books, and remember time flys dont let it go by without you kisses on the living room floor well mean more to them then the Gymboree newborn classes!
Develop a thick skin, opinions are like A@@holes, everybody has one, so trust your own instincts and don't ever justify yourself to anyone.
Always remember that no parent is perfect so just do your best and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it!
Mom: Breastfeeding gets easier after a few weeks, don't give up!





Dad: Get your *** out of bed and help change diapers at 2 am, your wife needs all the help she can get.
Buy 30-40 vests and baby-gros, you won't want to be doing the washing for the first week. Also bulks any white boils you need to do!
Play with your child, talk with your child, and LOVE your child today, as if there is no tomorrow.
Give your spouse as much rest as you can!
Don't listen to everyone's opinions, only the parents know what's best for your baby.
One day at a time and a big deep breath, a little prayer, and LOTS of pictures and smiles is all you need :)
Relax and enjoy such a wonderful experience.
There will be times when you want to just cry with your baby and thats when you call your mother!
Someday they'll be teenagers, so love 'em while they'll let you!
Don't listen too much to the old timer advice...go by with what you believe...
Watch the show Jon %26amp; Kate Plus 8, one kid is only 30% crazy.
relax don't get frustrated, you learn from your mistakes.
Go rent or buy the DVD ';The Happiest Baby on the Block';. I think it will be a life saver for you!
Babies are people just like you are, remember that when you can't understand what they want!
go with your gut, don't listen to all the ';advice';
Most MIL claim they know all, dont take anything they say personally lol
you be the judge.

DO NOT be too proud to receive help during the 1st couple of weeks.
