Caring for my newborn baby - First Month

What a joy it is to take care of your baby. :)The dream of so many years is a reality and here the baby is in your arms, saying ”Mom, dad, I am here in your arms. Please take good care of me”. Sure baby we are always there for you.

It is said that first few months are the toughest and most important months for a newborn as well as the mother. I started learning a lot of things about baby caring. First couple of days, things seem so difficult.. taking care of a newborn when you have not handled a baby before.:) He used to have his times of hunger, wet diapers etc. It took me a while to understand his different cries. Sometimes I used to get anxious not knowing whether I am doing the right thing. Most of the first time Mums will agree with me. It is good to have someone around who can advise you.

Night time it was only me and baby. Nursing, changing nappies in the night and rocking my baby in the wee hours of morning. Sometimes I used to wake up my hubby when I could not handle things any longer. At the same time I used to feel bad for him as he had to go for work the next day. I used to be in a total hypnotic state, not knowing when I was awake or sleeping. I hardly had time for anything. But it is worth all the efforts to see a part of you growing as an individual. Trying to give him the best in whatever way we can.
