First Time Mommy Tips

I'm a first time mommy, my daughter is 8 months old. Here are some tips I've put together to help anyone who needs it (& it might make you laugh too).

1. You can NEVER take too many pictures of your new baby. Take as many as you want!

2. For the first month or so, it's ok to keep checking them to make sure they're breathing.

3. Get used to lots of messes....especially smelly ones.

4. If you think they're sick, and have any question about whether to take them to the doctor or not....TAKE THEM. We really do have maternal instincts.

5. Don't be afraid to ask your pediatrician questions. That's what they're there for.

6. Keep up to date on the car seat requirements, they change frequently.

7. Babies will eat when they're hungry & they know when they've had enough.

8. They will most likely say "dada" first. As much as us moms try & hope, it's just easier for them to form the "d" sound than the "m" sound.

9. Don't worry that your not going to be a good mommy, it will come to you...and you'll be the only one they have, and you'll be the perfect one for them.

10. Kiss them a million times every day, at least until they'll still let you!
