You spend nearly ten months preparing for the arrival of your newborn. You go buy toys, clothes, formula, diapers, etc. even before the baby arrives. A lot of couples probably say they are ready to have a child, but in reality it’s a lot more work than just changing diapers and warming up formula. Babies are very expensive especially if you want to give your baby the most you, can and what you think they deserve.The hardest part about making your newborn happy is not being able to understand what it wants, it might be crying because it needs to be burped or its teething, maybe it has a dirty diaper, but you won’t know until you check everything that could be wrong. Newborns probably cry for about a third of the day because something is bothering them, and as a parent your job is to fix that.
Something every parent need is a few friends or relatives to rely on, because when you have something important to attend your going to have someone watch over your newborn while your busy, and your to have to make sure to give your baby sitter everything they need and some, so your baby doesn’t throw a fit the whole time it’s being watched over. But you’re going to have to make sure your baby sitter isn’t a smoker, because your baby shouldn’t be inhaling any type of smoke, the baby’s lungs are so young and premature it could catch asthma or cancer so much easier than a grown adult. Make sure your baby is always in a safe environment.
One of the toughest and could be a scary job is giving your baby a bath. You never want to leave your baby unattended, never. As soon as you finish your newborns bath you want to wrap it in a towel. Make sure you have a diaper and clothes set up on a flat surface and close to your bathing station so you can lay it down and put it diaper and clothes on it as quick as possible. Well there’s lot and lots of advice you can give about baby care and getting it from someone who has had a children and grandchildren is probably the best way to go because they’ve been through it all. To be honest I’m excited to have a baby but not anytime soon at all, the best time would be when you know you’re financially stable and know you can handle it. That’s the biggest problem for some couples; they think their ready when in reality they really aren’t. Having a baby is a lot of work, dedication, commitment, and takes all of your love.
