Wish I knew / could … Heres what new mommies think..

A few things that nobody tells us and we wish we had known

– Experience the pregnancy phase and enjoy every moment of it and not just wait for the
baby to pop soon.
– Flaunt the baby bump with the latest range of maternity wear and accessories
– Laze on the beach sipping lemonade or a fruity mocktail on my babymoon
– Boost your spirits by catching up with your friends or just getting a foot massage .
– Not necessary to eat for two. Talk to your doctor on how much weight is right . Eat healthy to stay fit and monitor your progess
– Pack the hospital bag atleast a month before the due
– To shop only for the essentials that will be required by your baby post birth
– Shop for good Inner wear to be used Post birth
– Labour pains !!! the less said the better … but all forgotten once the baby is in your arms.
– Latching issues are common ; You are not the only one facing it
– Breastfeeding gets easier with patience and practice
– And on perfection you slowly start feeling like a COW !! ;)
– Though breastfeeding is the best, use of formula milk is OK when in dire circumstances
– Take a break from the monotony to keep your sanity
– Accept help , its good for you and your baby
– Ask your partner directly what you help or advise you need from him. Dont expect or wait for
him to offer.
– Spend quality time with your partner as well
– Set a comfortable routine for you and your baby . This is good for your baby’s growth and development and will also help if you plan on getting back to work.
