Take every day one day at a time because it changes so quick. and the most I can offer you is to cherish the time your baby is a baby because they grow up too fast. and never ever lose your temper and harm your baby. walk out of the room and call someone you trust to come over and give you a break. Kiss your child every night and tell him/her how much you love them.
love your child, be patient and kind, parent consistently, never hit, take parenting classes, read books, listen to your child, discipline is part of your job, enjoy your child they grow up fast, fly more kites, keep less house
The best advice that I can give, is to raise your Children as Christians.
We ALL think our kid is the cutest, so get over it and make your kid mind from the start! We don't need anymore bratty kids that won't mind their parents!!! Good Luck!
Limit your family. Right now, the schools are overcrowded, the landfills are overflowing and property is getting scarce and more expensive. Remember, babies are precious, but they don't stay babies, and need a lot of expensive medical and dental care as they grow up. Love the one you have, but don't add to the world's overpopulation. Best wishes
Just never forget that this baby will be shaped into an adult primarily by you. You have alot of control over this persons life - yes, think of them as a person and not just your baby. Respect your child and talk to them like there adults. They will act how you treat them. Be patient and loving. Dont SHOUT! Children learn by example and will always be a reflection of you.
Don't take anything for granted, including the health of your child.


Know it will go so quickly that you will one day ache for it to return, no matter how much sleep you lose.


Realize you are teaching and changing and setting an example from the day you bring the child home.


Good luck!
PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE.....kids don't learn thing on the first try...they are going to push you buttons and make you angry, and test you metal.....just remember they don't know where the boundries are....you have to teach them, and being mad and yelling and scream don't work......you are going to be tired, stressed out....it passes....and most importantly, just love them....





one other thing....they to take time away like one day a week where you and the other parent can just get away for a little bit....for dinner or something....it is going to be really hard to get ';US'; time with a new born...but most grandparents are glad to take baby off you hand for a couple hours......and that will make life better for you which makes life better for baby.
Always trust your gut instincts.You will be overwhelmed with so much info on raising your child it's hard to remember it all.
Take-out/Drive Thru/Fozen dinners is the norm the first month with your first child.
My advice would be to take one day at a time. Never think that you are a bad mother or father. Last but not least, babies and kiddos do not come with instructions. I don't care what anyone says..but all parents should be able to have a break once in a while and take a break from their kiddos....never feel bad for needing your time away some times...cuz your love will always still be there for your child....take care and good luck to you both.
