First Days as a Mum

First Day with Baby and being a New Mum

Ok so your baby has now arrived and it's for real........here are the 4little1s.com top 11 tips you should do as your first day with baby and being a new mum. It was top ten originally, but then I though of number 11 - Sleep !

Number one: It's a simple one, but can be so frustrating if you don't do it. Make sure your camera, video camera or phone is fully charged up as you will want to take lots of photos of your new baby.

Number two: Remember the sleepsuit that someone bought you at the baby shower or as a baby gift ? You thought at the time it was tiny and just could not imagine something so little. Well, now it's the other way round, you look at the sleepsuit and now think its huge compared to your baby.

Number three: Give yourself a pat on the back, you and baby have done an amazing job.

Number four: Start feeding baby as soon as possible, it takes a little practice, but once you and baby get the hang of it, is easy.

Number five: Bond with baby by having as much skin contact as you can. It makes baby feel secure and safe.Let baby snuggle.

Number six: Train your man....the get him trained in the art of nappies and the changing of. I did this with my man on day one and was worth getting him going from day one.

Number seven: Have a little chocolate, you deserve it. The last few hours will have taken it's toll on you and energy will be needed.

Number eight: If you feel like you want to spending a little time alone and have some 'me time' that's not a bad thing. Don't forget your man though, take a few seconds for both of you to be amazed at this new baby life.

Number nine: YOUR A MUM ! YOU ARE A MUM ! YOU ARE NOW A MUM, A MOTHER !

Number ten: Enjoy the baby gifts, baby hampers, flowers, baby bouquets, chocolate, late baby shower gifts, baby cards, baby congratulation cards, baby toys, baby clothes......etc etc, you get the idea !

Number eleven: Grab 40 winks if you can, you are going to need them !
