When our little bundle of joy first arrived, even though we were mature, intelligent, rational adults, we were completely lost. As a matter of fact, an hour after we'd arrived home, we'd made sure little missy was fed, burped and snugly tucked up in her bed, we were on the phone to a friend with two daughters of his own asking "what do we do now??" His advice was probably the most useful we received in those first few weeks and was simply, "relax and get some rest!".
"What do we do now?" is a question you feel like you're asking yourself every few hours!! Not just during those first scary weeks and months when everything is new, it goes on as your bub grows to a toddler, through childhood and into those dreaded teen years.
Sometimes you'll ask for advice, other times it'll be thrust upon you unwelcomed. You'll become an expert at choosing the gems of wisdom which you'll use and those that you'll file away (just in case). Every child (and every family) is different, what works for one mightn't work for another, you'll have a well adjusted baby when you're treating your child with love and respect and doing your best to ensure that they grow up healthy and happy.
