Chores can wait try to sleep as much as you can when your newborn is sleeping and if people offer to help take it .
Congratulations, having a baby is such an amazing experience!! The best advice I can give is to never give yourself a hard time and just enjoy every moment the best that you can. Everyone says to sleep when baby sleeps and this is so true.
If anyone starts telling horror stories, just walk away 🙂
Try to get a shower in sometime during the day. It will make you feel better.
Yay!! Congrats!! My advice is to take extra clothes in the car for the baby and yourself, plus wipes and a towel. And.. trust your own instincts! You will be great!
Get enough sleep and rest.
Listen to the hints moms and grandmas give you, then make your own choice what works best for you and your baby!
Other mothers will offer you advice. Use it. They’ve had experience. Rest whenever you get the chance.
Take a deep breathe and know you’ve got This! You are doing great!
Get a couple of good babysitters!
Each child is unique and a one size fits all parenting style doesn’t work
Enjoy and rest when you can
Don’t be afraid to ask for help from family and friends
Gets lots of sleep and don’t worry about keeping the house in order!!
I know everyone tells you to sleep when the baby sleeps but honestly it might be better to do whatever makes you feel like a person. Take some me time.
My advice is not to listen to any unwanted advice. You know what works for you and your baby.
Always carry extras – diapers, food, clothes, bibs, etc.
No matter how tired you are in the middle of the night for feedings, always speak softly to your baby and smile. It will keep them calm and make the feeding go smoothly so baby can go back to sleep and you too!
Get a wipeable changing table-makes clean up so much easier.
Always accept help and don’t feel bad for it!
Prepare some freezer meals ahead of time to make things easier when the baby comes.
When in doubt, Google it and then do what feels best out of the available options.
Just enjoy being in the moment and don’t stress over small things!
The kids are trapped in the car with you. Turn off the radio & teach your kids. My sons learned a lot of their basics while in the car & we sang lots of fun songs. It’s a great time to bond.
If your baby has been fed and changed, let him or her cry. Do you pick up the baby.
Honestly, my best advice is to give yourself grace. When you make a mistake, forgive yourself and get over it. This allows you to be present with your little one, and connect with them on a more positive level. As they grow, it will also teach them the importance of loving yourself. <3
Use grocery pick-up instead of shopping in-store.
Take naps when your baby take naps. I was told this too but I had problems sleeping during the day. I always felt like I should be cleaning or doing laundry.
Congratulations! Best advice is to make sure you stick to a routine and always find some quiet time for you during the day or evening.
Enjoy cuddling them when they are newborns. That stage goes by so fast!
Congratulations
Always be there for them and listen to their feelings and thoughts!
Enjoy the moment and ask for help.
be very patient!
Always bargain shop and buy for the next year during end of season clearances!
Congrats! Advice? Hmm sleep when the baby sleeps, it’s hard sometimes for sure, especially if there are other littles around, but definitely take any chance for rest you can. Ask for, and accept help. Take lots of photos, they change so quick. And be patient and gentle…with yourself, your partner, the wee ones, but especially yourself. Enjoy the ride!
Don’t pour from an empty cup and don’t it’s ok to ask for help!
Congratulations. The only thing I can think of is focus on doing things with your child not buying every toy out there.
Take a break. Don’t spend every minute of every day with your child. Parents need time to be alone and alone together.
Don’t be too hard on yourself, there is no such thing as the perfect parent.
Always take time for yourself and make sure you get good nutrition to keep up your energy levels.
Remember that everyone has their own way of doing things and do whatever is best for you and baby! Oh, and hydrate 🙂
diaper genie
Congratulations! Parenting can be challenging at times. Whenever you face those moments, take a deep breath and remember that time goes so quickly.
Read to your child, even as an infant.
Don’t beat yourself up, stop doubting yourself you’re doing great.
Just love your child.
Thank you for the recipes
I show the pictures & explain it to the child. The children love it.
Congrats! 👶🍼
Trust your instincts and love the person your child is rather than who you wish they would be.
Trust your gut! Everyone has their own way of doing things. Find the best way for you and your baby.
Try to relax and have fun
Enjoy every moment and don’t stress it all!
Congrats on the baby! My advice is to take a lot of pictures and make tons of memories! 🙂
My best parenting advice, & I am a mama of 9, is to teach your babies/kiddos to be thankful for a new day! Sing joyful songs each morning & thank Jesus you are alive! Also tell your babies what a GIFT they are every single day!
Congratulations don’t let the baby sleep with you cause once you start and they get older its so hard to get them to sleep in there own bed.
I’m not a mom but I agree with others here to shop at thrift stores for baby clothing and blankets.
Dear mother, your natural milk is enough for it
Sleep when you can, and try to create a good support system so that you can provide the best care for your darling baby.
Enjoy it and soak in every minute!
Sleep when baby sleeps, don’t think that it’s okay to work then, because by the time baby awakes, you’ll be exhausted and not able to give your best care. This will change soon
Congratulations! Sleep when the baby naps to keep your sanity! Sing joyful songs about Jesus. Lots of pictures to capture all the special moments! Hand on tight and enjoy the young ones because before you know it they all grow up.
Take a nap when your baby does.
enjoy your time with baby,don’t worry so much about the small things,try to get rest when you can and take care of yourself too.
Much appreciation for all the recipes
If you are getting overwhelmed call a friend or family member to come help out!
Keep a bag in your car with extra clothes, diapers, wipes, even clothes for you. Congratulations!
Take lots of pictures. It goes by so fast.
I’ve never had kids so my advice would be guesswork
Breathe. If you need to take a moment to breathe, just do. You need to be good before you can help them be good. 🙂
congrats! Savor each moment regardless of it being a difficult time or enjoyable time.
Sleep when the baby sleeps!
Congratulations! Trust your instincts and ask for help when you need it.
Don’t worry about the little things, don’t try to be perfect, just be kind to yourself and trust your instincts.
always have extras of everything
Enjoy every moment, time goes by so fast and they will be grown before you know it.
Just enjoy every moment. It goes by far too fast.
I always used the baby mittens, especially in the hospital
you can never have too many- of anything
Enjoy those first few months with your new little one. Co-sleep if you feel that’s what’s best for your and your newborns best sleep. Snuggle with your little one all day. Don’t stress about house chores because they will always be there but your newborn will grow quickly. ❤️
Congratulations on your new addition to your family.
The days are long but the years are fast, Be in the moment
Enjoy every moment. It goes fast!
You reminded me of those hard moments but they are emotional and worthwhile, though !
Get the rest and you can let your chores go for a bit. They will still be there when you’re rested
My best parenting advice is to enjoy your child and celebrate who they are while loving them!
take time for yourself mama!
Get lots of rest
Best parenting advice! Ask for help! Leave the mess and laundry so you can get some sleep too. Best teether…. cut a red bell pepper in 3rds or fourths the long way, scrape seeds out. Refrigerate and let baby gum on those. It’s sweet, cold, wet, and not made of plastic. Your baby will love it!
Enjoy every moment!
Having a vibrating bouncer or a baby swing is a lifesaver to have for when they are fussy and have already been changed and fed. they love those things!
Don’t be afraid to NOT take advice. Lots of people will want to tell you how to do things or convince your their way is the right way. Do what is best for you and for baby.
Congrats! Always make sure you takes extras out with you.
As the mom of a large family, I would warn you that you are probably going to get a lot of unsolicited advice. My advice would be to pray first, do your research and only listen to the advice of people you trust.
Congrats! One advice I have is to take care of yourself also while taking care of others. All the best to you and your family.
Trust your gut… mother’s intuition is 100% real!
Relax, enjoy the quiet moments, and laugh a lot. Time seems to be on super fast forward.
Appreciate every moment…they grow up, it seems, in a heartbeat!
Congrats
Congratulations! Best advice is be patient.
I agree with the thrift store advice, so many new baby items that babies outgrew before they were even used.
Congratulations and welcome to motherhood! It isn’t easy by any means but well worth every drip of sweat and tear! I’ve had 3 boys and wouldn’t change it for the world!
Welcome to motherhood!
I don’t have any babies but have all younger siblings and have had lots of babysitting jobs. When I started watching my sister’s kids (mostly all grown now 18, 16 and 11) she started to tell me how to change diapers. I had to laugh and said You do realize I used to change YOUR diaper? Then I started counting and figured out I have baby sat at least 40 different kids!!! My advice, just go with the flow and enjoy it because they grow up so fast!
When you start to tip-toe around a sleeping baby, just remember that you will always have to do that.
Have a great support system!
Love them with all your heart everyday and teach them about God’s love.
Enjoy every precious moment. They grow up so fast! Don’t stress over chores that can wait. Accept help from others if they offer. Take lots of pictures and date them. You think you will remember dates later on, but trust me, you won’t! Don’t compare your parenting style to others who you might consider to be a “perfect” parent. You are the perfect parent for your own child. Follow your instincts!
Welcome to Motherhood.
Get as many snuggles and cuddles as you can, because you can not spoil a baby! And always trust your instincts when it comes to your child.
accept any help that is offered and try to let chores wait time spent with the baby is so valuable instead of doing the chores
prepare for EVERYTHING to happen when you take a bunch of kids in tow out and about
Congratulations! If you have a day where you feel overwhelmed, ask for help. Don’t let yourself get stressed out.
Stock up on cleaning wipes and Swiffer sweepers and dusters. You want your living space clean for your new baby and the company that keeps popping in to see the baby. These make cleaning a breeze and you don’t want to waste any more free time cleaning than you have to.
It is the most beautiful thing in life, enjoy every moment, when you realize it has already grown and only memories remain
Best advice is enjoy every minute, they grow up too fast!
The gowns for the baby are the best. they keep the baby warm and makes changing much easier than buttons, snapes, or even zippers. Highly recommend them. in addition, remember it’s okay to not want to do anything or go anywhere. Take time to relax when you can.
Sleep when the baby sleeps and take all the help you can get in the beggining.
NO apps! Your baby/child does not need to have technology in their faces before they go to school…..where it will be a daily occurrence.
HELP is the best 4 letter word out there, except it when you can.
Sleep whenever you can.
Trust your gut when advocating for your child – you know them best.
Accept help that is offered.
Don’t try to be perfect. Nobody else is!
Don’t forget to take care of yourself.
When baby is old enough, join a mother/baby play group. Really important to work on those social cues/skills even as an infant.
Limit their screen time, and (when they are old enough) encourage reading.
Congratulations 🙂 !
take everyone else’s parenting advice with a grain of salt
Choose your battles!
Don’t put your baby in front of electronics and don’t give your preteen a phone.
I would say take lots of pictures and write down all the cute stuff.
Congrats! Nap when baby naps <3
You will not be perfect!! I gave up on that and maybe think I might do better when the kids have grandbabies. Thank you
I’m not a parent but I’ve heard to sleep when the baby sleeps.
Congrats! Don’t sweat the small stuff!
I’m not a parent but even I know mother’s milk is infinitely superior to bottled!
Every single child is different but I must say that I learned to sleep when they sleep. Its not worth it to run on zero hours of sleep just to have a clean house! Congratulations and thank you for this amazing opportunity! Good luck everyone!
