Question to the Mums

[Cynara]

So what is the most useful piece of advice to hand down to first time mums??

[Femme-Fetale]

listen to everyones opinions/advice, then try what you want to, see what works and throw out the rest. Only you know whats best for you and your family, no one else, regardless of what they say!

Yep i'll second that one

Go with your gut feeling and do what feels right for you.

the other girls hit the nail on the head while it is great for people to offer advice ultimately the same things dont work for everyone

on that note though if you get any remedies for stuff like wind etc from the older generation im talking Grandparents etc id write them down cause then you will always have a record of it even if it doesnt work for bubs it might for the next one

i had a book started at my babyshower that all the guests wrote well wishes and tips/advice in so i could always have it

but it is your decision in the long run

If I had mt time again I would read as much as I could and get as much advise about sleep and routines before the baby comes, no one tells you. When your pregnant it's all about the birth. I would say read up about tired signs!

not to be afraid !!!!
get the best sleep you can and know that if your baby doesnt go to sleep the first time he/she will eeventually fall asleep when they need to.

I will Third this one

Being a mum is hard there are no easy answers as every child is different. So do your best and always give your kids at least 2 hugs a day for no reason cause they need to know they are loved and sometimes you need it too.

i would have to say dont listen to peoples horror birth stories. some people exaggerate everything. some people are just jealous that ur going to have a new bubba, and pretty much everyone will have things to say to try and scare you off. i just tried to block out the bad and go with the good!
but at the same time dont be thinkin it will be a fairy tale thing!

and go with your gut instinct.

If in doubt ask your friendly neighbour
