9 things that happen to every parent in the first year

Parenting Tips for new parent

The first year with your newborn is a bag full of emotions – love, smiles, cries, fear, uncertainties to name a few! There is no guide, no book, no expert who can fully prepare you for what’s to come. In fact, many second-time parents also share that their experience the second time around was totally different. While there may be a lot of times when you will have to react or respond on the spot, all parents agree that there are 9 things that every new parent undergoes in the first year.

Let’s see what these are

1) One time you will feel in control and the next you will be everywhere – and this is absolutely normal.

2) Your postpartum body may be weak and wobbly and that’s the case with all new moms

3) You will find so many reasons to tell the world how your baby is different from others

4) Things will not be easy! First-year is tough, maybe the toughest

5) The sooner you learn to sort of disregard and not take every single comment on your child seriously, the better it is. If someone tells you he isn’t feeding enough, he is weak, just ignore. Only your pediatrician should be giving you this feedback, no one else

6) Stretch and walk whenever possible. This is the best time to allow your body to open up as long hours of sitting and feeding the baby can take a toll on your back

7) You will need help! It’s ok to ask your parents, your friends, your neighbours for help!
