ts right being a parent is not an easy job,especially when you’re first-time parents. There are so many things to consider, so many new responsibilities to take on. actually we are taking care of a new,human life. So many new things come into perspective.but some times feel good and i think so its not a burden it also like a enjoyment. my sis and jiju are also first time being parent.so they are so much happy with their baby. but some times my sis get stressed because of rising child but still she is enjoying her life so thanks to give this great and nice blog. i like it so much.

Not reading the parenting books over and over again and wondering what is wrong with my kids! I took a more casual approach and haven't ever regretted it! Discipline How To's last blog post: Homeschooling for Preschool

I have many “things” that help me but my husband is #1. Honestly and seriously. There is nothing in the world like having someone I trust and who loves the child(ren) just as much as I do to take care of them while I get a much needed nap because I’m are so worn out. I can vent to him without fear and I can count on him for grown up conversation after a long day of goofy, singing dinosaurs.

Another thing for me is music. The music I enjoy as well as the music the kids enjoy helps me a lot. It eases frustration, tension and impatience for all of us. When my daughter was a newborn she had colic BAD. For some reason though “Come Away With Me” by Norah Jones seemed to soothe her.
And last, but not near the least, is a glider rocking chair. We gave ours away but it served it’s purpose well for 4 years.

One of things that made parenting easier for us is to just have fun!! Our kids(4) love it when we get silly with them. And do not try to be super mom, just be the best mom you can be. I have also learned that it ok for the house to be messy sometimes, the kids don't care. 1stopmom's last blog post..If only I had the money.....

I agree with having a schedule. Babies feel so secure when they know what comes next – and SO DO MOMMIES AND DADDIES.

My other advice is: never say never and never say always. I had so many “I will always do thises” and “I will never do thats” with my first baby and I can tell you, I have probably broken every one of them. I was going to breastfeed a year – well, guess what, nature didn’t care to cooperate so we used formula. I would never co-sleep – well, guess what, baby went six whole hours snuggled next to me so you betcha we coslept. I could go on and on.

Breastfeeding might make you miserable. So quit. You may hate cloth diapers. So use Pampers. It is all trial and error. You’ll end up doing lots of other things you never dreamed of.

Of course you have some preconceived notions of what you want to do, but consider them ideas only. **Not benchmarks for what make you a good mommy.** Good mommies go with the flow, listen to their baby’s needs AND their own needs, and adjust accordingly.

And good daddies remind good mommies (sometimes 40 times a day) that the only thing that baby truly needs is love and milk. All the rest is just gravy.

(Good daddies also make sure mommy goes at least one night a week with uninterrupted sleep!)

Well, my son Aidan is now 3 years old, and all the other comments have been great. The one thing that I can add is to start now establishing communication with Boogie and pay attention to the things he does right now in the womb -- like when he sleeps, when he's woke, what calms him, what gets him excited. Sounds funny, but I would read to Aidan every night while I was pregnant and I would play jazz music when I went to sleep just to get him to calm down and go to sleep with me. The book I read was "How Do I Love You". Now that he's here, he loves for me to read to him, and music still puts him to sleep. Oddly enough, he knows all the words to "How Do I Love You" and he loves jazz music. Psonya's last blog post..boys to men
