10 tips for new moms

The first year of motherhood is sleepless nights and at the same time great joy, as well as numerous pieces of advice from relatives, pediatricians and friends on how to care for a child, what to do and what not to do. This can simply confuse a young mother, because it is not clear which recommendations are useful and which ones should not be followed. Young mothers who took part in the survey and answered questions of interest to all pregnant women decided to help sort out this situation. We present the top 10 pieces of advice from women who have already become mothers and have experienced all the joys of motherhood.

Don't compare yourself to other moms

We often see young mothers walking with strollers. Women share useful information and advice with each other. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this and getting advice from someone who has already encountered the problem you are interested in is very useful. However, you should not do everything possible to compare with someone. All people are different and everyone has their own approach to upbringing.

Trust your instincts

You've probably already picked up a lot of useful advice from books on child care, such as not picking up a child if he or she starts crying, so as not to spoil him or her. However, if you feel like your soul is not in the right place when your child cries, then throw all these recommendations to the wind and follow your instincts.

Don't buy too many things

Of course, shopping is very pleasant, especially when you choose tiny rompers, undershirts and hats. However, experienced mothers say that a huge number of things for a newborn will only end up in closets, because the child grows quickly, and you don’t even have time to try many things on him. Therefore, be sensible, do not buy children's things by the suitcase.

Keep calm

Calm mother – calm baby. Be less nervous, because the child feels everything perfectly and gets upset along with you. Take care of your child’s nerves and your own.

Don't forget about your husband

If previously your spouse received all your attention and love, then with the birth of a child, many women abruptly change their focus and switch to the child. Try not to infringe on your husband, because this can negatively affect your relationship. Young mothers also advise not to forget about yourself. Pay attention to your appearance, because you are not only a caring mother, but also a beautiful young woman.

Daily routine

If the regime is followed, the baby does not need additional calming; by the age of one year, he already develops a need for food and sleep at certain hours. Moreover, the time of wakefulness gradually increases during the day, and sleep – at night.

Enjoy your time

Enjoy the minutes spent with your children, because the time will come when they grow up, and you will again want to feel those moments of happiness when the children were just little ones.

Don't try to be a supermom

Don't demand too much from yourself, because you are not made of iron. Raising children is a long and thorny road, and if you don't manage to do something, the child will not love you less because of it.

Patience and more patience

Sometimes it is difficult to be patient, especially if you are a young mother. Save your nerves and be less nervous, because there are no hopeless situations, and experience comes with time.

Read

The best thing parents can do for their child's education is to read. Not just buy children's books with beautiful pictures, but show them the interesting world of fairy tales, gradually instilling a love for literature.
