3 Things Every New Parent Should Do

Becoming a new parent is one of the most life-changing events in anyone’s life. You now have one more person to care for, and if you don’t start planning for their future right now, you may find yourself having to play catch up in the future. This is why you must have a clear plan as a parent and understand what it truly means to care for a child through their early years to early adulthood. It all starts with a clear vision of what you want for your child and preparing for the various obstacles that might come your way. Here are a few things every new parent should do.

What Are The Essentials When Preparing For A New Baby?

If you are getting ready to welcome a new baby into the world, then you want to make sure that you are as prepared as possible. You don’t want to be one of those people who leaves everything to the last minute, and then you’re rushing around trying to get everything that you need. This is just an extra layer of stress that you really don’t need, and it’s easy to avoid. Instead, just make sure that you get all of the essentials with plenty of time to spare. What are these? Keep reading down below to find out more.

How Bottle Warmers Can Help Make Happier Babies and Parents

As we are all perfectly aware of, babies have absolutely no respect for your time or gratitude for inconveniencing your life in general. They sleep up to 16 hours a day, they expect you to change and clean them, and then, they have the temerity to wake up in the middle of the night demanding warm, delicious milk with barely any notice to bleary-eyed parents. Of course, it has to be said, babies are just about the greatest thing in the world, and give parents validation of their entire existence. So you could say it’s a fair trade-off.

4p is what I got from my son!

This afternoon, my son came home and ran upstairs. So I went up too.  Seeing him empty his money box, I thought to myself what is he up too?  Is he saving up to buy toys or maybe Skylanders? About 5 minutes later, he shoved it up to my face with a tiny written note and 4 p:

Was she too young to have an admirer?

Last month, I was pushing Ms C in her pram walking towards the car park after picking her and Mr K up from school. A young handsome looking boy (roughly aged 8, from the same school as my son) approached me with his sweetest smile. He came to tell me that Ms C is very pretty. I was pleasantly surprised by the boy’s confidence and chatted to him for a few minutes. Ms C couldn’t be bothered by him though. She is a very proud little girl who has mastered the art of being a little madam.

Time to ditch the pram? May be not?

It has been three weeks since both children started reception and pre-school. We have been trialling walking plus using our pram from a pub’s car park and from nearby shops.

When Ms C saw other children either riding a scooter, bicycle or pushing a doll’s pram to school, she decided it was time to ditch her pram. She now wants to use her Igglepiggle scooter and act like a big girl! At first, I was more than happy for her to get active and do some exercise which is obviously good for her. After using her scooter for just one day, she had a massive meltdown this morning. Is she ready to ditch her pram? Well, the answer is no!
