Advice for New Parents
Once you have found out you are expecting for the first few months you can sit back and relax and just enjoy the whole experience. As you progress past the 6 months stage then it will be time to start thinking about decorating the nursery and making a list and sticking to it with regards to all the items that you are going to require.
The nursery furniture and equipment. Toys, changing mat lots of clothes, somewhere to put babies nappies in both when they are clean and dirty.
For awhile your mind will be swamped and you will think that you cannot cope – but rest assured it all comes right in the end and you will be surprised by the time you give birth everything will be in place and ready for the new arrival.
How much you spend on baby is upto you. How many items of clothing is again your choice. You boviously need quite a few bits and pieces to start with – but don’t get carried away. With a bit of luck friends and family will want to buy you something and clothing is the perfect gift for most people to give.

We are sure that from the moment you first found out that you were expecting right the way through your pregnancy until your little one made its appearance in the world you have been given advice from everyone.
We are only trying to help. Not everyone is lucky enough to have friends and family members to help them out.
When you are bringing up baby there are no rules. You cannot make that many mistakes as bringing up baby is such a personal thing. You are helping a new life to grow, and showing them the world. How to eat, talk, walk everything it’s all up to you how you do it.
Don’t forget music when you are buying toys. lights, colours anything that grabs their attention is always good to have.
You don’t have to fret that you cannot afford to buy everything at once – after all your surname is not Trump is it!
Just make the odd purchase now and again – when you can save a bit of money together as and when, do not feel pressured by your piers.
It is completely upto you – go at the pace that is comfortable to you.
If things are tight, and you do have any family or friends then maybe they can buy the odd little thing for you once in awhile.
We certainly do not recommend you bankrupt yourself for the sake of your baby. As long as they have food, water, milk, a roof over their heads and bed to sleep in you are doing fine.

When you are expecting your first child we are sure you are flooded with advice from all family members and friends on how to cope with everything from the birth to the first few months etc.
Like most things in life we all handle and experience everything differently, so there is no right or wrong way to do anything just your way.
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself during your pregnancy, labour and afterwards to be perfect! This is a huge experience for both of you and you are going to feel totally different about it afterwards than you think you will.
Don’t bother to read the celebrity magazines and try and lose the weight in a few weeks, it may take anything upto a year but it doesn’t matter. The only things that matter are that baby is happy and healthy, you are happy and healthy and your partner is happy as well.
All the rest will fall into place in time – just as it is supposed to do.
Make sure you look after your self after the birth, you will feel tired for the first few weeks, so expect that.
Just make sure that the your little one is well looked after and you – you two are the most important people right now. Get any mums and sisters or other family member s to rally round as much as possible.
Your husband or partner can pick up the food shopping and pitch in with some household chores for awhile, it won’t have to be for long – just a few weeks until you get back on your feet.
There are many ways other people can help out and cope – especially if you have older more grown up children they can pitch in as well.
Try to make life as easy for yourself as possible.

This is just a small article on how to look after your baby/toddlers through the summer weather, particularly when the weather really warms up.
Like most things in life, it really just comes down to plain old common sense, but in the busy hectic world that we live in, trying to juggle everything is mind boggling, so that is what we are here for:
1. When out and about all keep baby/toddler in the shade, whether you are travelling in a car or pushing them in their buggy, or walking about. In the car make sure they don’t have the sun directly on the top of their head, or directly on the back of their necks. Put up a blind on the window where they sit.
When they are in their buggies, use the parasol and ALWAYS keep a sunhat on them, and suncream. Usually more like a sunblock.
If you go and sit in the park or anywhere else, make sure the area is shady, not directly in the sun.
If they seem unwell cool them down with water and fans and give them lots of drink and come home.
Make sure you have tons of fluids around, predominately water either on its own or water based cordial squash.
You can never get too much liquid in the summer months.
Keep food light. Don’t give them large or heavy meals.
Try your best to keep the house as cool as possible, keep windows shut first thing in the morning, then open them later on.
Keep curtains drawn or blinds down when the sun is at its strongest between 11am and 4pm.
It is very difficult during the nighttime to keep cool, but just do your best.
Unfortunately our knowledge only goes so far – and enjoy the summer, play with them on the beach, sunshine is great for the health as it contains Vitamin d.
Never go out anywhere in the summer without some bite or sting cream or spray on you..
Have a safe and happy Summer!
