The Toughest Job In The World.

I was never too fond of children and did not give much thought to when i would have a child of my own.Family members could not imagine me as a mother.So when i was expecting everyone was holding their breath in anticipation.With the help of this article i want to share a few tips that you may find useful as well.

Following is a small checklist of must have for the new arrival.

• 8-10 baby rompers and matching handker chief and bibs along with them.
• if it's a winter baby you would need 5-6 wrapping sheets.
• 2-3 sleeping bags.
• pampers as well.

The best part starts when a baby comes in your like for that you need to keep the following things in mind:

• From day one make sure that your baby sleeps in the baby cot,which should be easile accessible for late night feeds.
• Initially your baby will be hungry after every 45 minutes which means that you would hardly get to sleep.This also means that your baby will sleep when he wishes and you can only sleep when the baby does.There will be times that you will cry in frustrations.Don't panic.Thats normal.
• Makes sure you include milk,eggs and soup in your daily diet.
• The first forty days will determine a routine for your baby.
• You will not be able to go anywhere without your baby.So make sure that you invest in a carry cot so you can carry your baby more comfortably.
• Always keep a "BABY BAG" with you when you are out with the following: back up clothes,milk and milk bottles, pamper, boiled water,powder,cream and wipes.
• Try to do the baby's laundry yourself,every other day so the baby does not run out of clothes.
• By 2.5months you will have to do more shopping, because you will realize that your baby is growing.
• During your maternity leave; spend as much time with your baby as you can.
• Do not miss that vaccinations.
• For nappy rash instantly apply corn flour.That is best remedy.
• Do not feel guilty that you are leaving your child back at home; at the end of the day you are earning for your family.
• You need to involve your spouse in core activities of your child; without his support it will be very difficult for you to manage.
• Make sure that your child meets or spends some time with maximum number of peoples so he is comfortable arround them.

Last but not the least you need to plan and balance your new life.Remember being a mother is your main priority, especially in the begining.You will do better if u dedicate some time to take care of yourself, your relationship and then come back to the child.Too much of a good thing is not good,so add variety to your, your family's and your baby's life.
Congratulations and good luck with the new born.

Hats Off to all working mother!!
