Our baby is 1 week old and this time around things have been wayyyy easier than they were with Eloise. Here are some of the tips I have for caring for a newborn baby. These are the things I wish I knew when I had my first baby. I hope they are helpful for you!
I have added links to products on Amazon that may make your first week as a new mom a little easier to manage! I'm not partial to any of these brands but I'm putting things I like so even if you end up with a similar product but different brand I feel like it would still help :)

I am a first time mom. She is 2 month old now. One of the bad things about postpartum apart from the sleep deprivation and the exhaution is all the unwanted and frankly unhelpful advice.I was so nervous and underconfident that I listened and followed a lot of crappy advice. They made it worse. When I finally took charge the situation got much better quickly. Mamas listen to others but do what you feel is right.

Tip for new moms: for the first week or so out of the hospital, scratch the undies completely and get yourself some adult diapers. They're not bulky, they catch the blood well and don't shift all around. No more waking up with ruined sheets bc your pad shifted out of place! Also, they never leak! Well, I've never had one leak and used this trick many times. If you're having a lot of pain in your nether regions after giving birth, take a couple of those diapers, dampen the crotch just a little (spray bottle works good) and smear a little aloe vera gel on there too, n pop it in the freezer. Voila! Padcicle for soothing and healing! Well... diapercicle lol, you get the point!

Great advice!!! Nipple confusion is not usually a problem if you start right away with a pacifier only for short term soothing or give a bottle. Mom's please, please if breastfeeding, do as she advises, pump and let someone else give an early morning bottle. You get much needed sleep, partner gets to help and baby is used to a bottle when/if you have to return to work.

"So try and be Spanish and learn how to nurse in public" You are SO unintentionally funny... I'm half Spanish and I was blown away by the stigma around nursing in the U.S.A. I couldn't understand why some would say "ew" to seeing a mom nurse; in my family, it's all you do, and if you don't, you're actually chided for bypassing the more inexpensive and nutrition dense option of breastfeeding...

@jazzminober5741 4 жыл бұрын

It's so annoying to hear negative opinions about breastfeeding in public! I will say, it's mainly insecure women with these opinions (from what I've noticed, at least). It's natural, beautiful and just an overall part of life. If the mother feels uncomfortable, it's understandable why she'd want to breastfeed privately but with all the bashing, I wouldn't blame her for feeling that way. I'm due in 2 months with my first child (baby girl), so maybe I should consider moving to Spain. 😂🇪🇸

Just wanna say nipple confusion isn’t real. What I mean by that is that they don’t get confused on what is and isn’t supplying milk, what they do is prefer a bottle over breast if it is a faster flow and less work to get milk from the bottle than it is the breast. To help this newborns should be given preemie bottles first. Not month 0 or month 1, but try to keep it just as difficult to get milk from the breast that it is the bottle. That said, some babies will still prefer the bottle, but they aren’t confused, just have preferences.

Congratulations! Reach out to other moms and those you trust. Just because you’re going to be a single parent does not mean you’re doing it alone. Just remember it is ok to ask for help sometimes. I would definitely suggest a doula, both labor and postpartum, if you are able to get one then it would really help. Not just because you are a single mom, but from what you wrote it seems like a first time mom. Unless you have a very supportive friend or family that has been through birth and babies before. You will be a wonderful mom, always trust your instincts. And if a doula is not for you that’s cool too, just a suggestion.

I have a 6 week old and I gave her a bottle and pacifier from the start and I also breast feed. She had no nipple confusion. My Dr told me it was a good idea so the baby get's used to both and allows others to feed her. Honestly I do whatever works for us and don't take other people's opinions to heart. You do what works best for you 😁🙌🙋‍♀️ I am glad she took the bottle as the first few weeks are exhausting and it's so nice when someone else can take a feeding shift. 😊

Best tip you could ever get is to start good sleep habits from the start. Baby never sleeps in arms, always in their own sleep space. Always play white noise in the background to drown out noise. Dont make your house quiet just because Baby is sleeping. Teaching good sleep habits now, when Baby literallt is unaware of the world, will pay off so much in the future.
