51 Things Every New Mom Should Know:

Image
There are an endless number of things I wish I knew before becoming a mother to my son, Riaan. Things your own parents may have forgotten and that the classes won’t tell you. Here are some  pointers that every parent should know about your newborn: Labor: 1.    It’s called “Labor” for a reason! 2.     Take it one contraction at a time, and seriously, take the drugs. You have grown a little human being inside of you; you are already a hero! 3.  If you are being induced, there is a higher chance of a cesarean section, but stay calm and try and rest when you can, as your stress hormones will inhibit the labor process. 4.  Your baby is adorable (at least to you) no matter what it is covered in. 5. Trust the nurses, they are your greatest resource. 6.  Place your husband next to a couch, just incase he wants to collapse (or, in my case, lie down to catch his own breath in between your pushes). Nursing: 7.    The first few days are the ...

They have dry peeling skin (and even lips), which gets worse in the first few weeks. It's from suddenly having to deal with air after being in a pool for 9 months. 3. They have lanugo, which often falls off by 3-4 months. Note, some kids are just hairy, my son's moustache turned out to be genetic and not lanugo! But ofcourse it's still adorable!  Cone head! 4.

12 tips on Stress free toilet training:

Image
While my last few posts have been about nursing, post partum recovery and your health (and I have much more to say on that yet), this one forays right into the depths of toddlerhood and deals with the least flush able topic of all : toilet training. While it's a topic that can bring great stress it need not, because the downside is diapers for longer, which is really not all that stressful if you think about it - trying to find a bathroom when your little one can't hold it in and you are in the middle of a movie, or worse - in the middle of a public park, is much more nerve racking. Below are some tips to make your little one's diaper independence a little easier on you. Note: There are several pages and videos that claim they will get your child toilet trained in three days or less - just leave them naked around the house and keep putting them on the pot or rush them there when you see they are about to start. I did this - for each of my puppies. For my human babies though...
