Coping with the first weeks

Coping with the first few weeks

1. Make your baby your one and only task. Try not to worry about anything else.
2. You should ask for help from your mother, partner or friends if you feel you need to. Sometimes other people with young babies of their own can be the most helpful because they have been through similar experiences recently.
3. If people offer to help, accept it. Give people suggestions as to how they can help such as taking the baby for a walk, cooking a meal for you and your family.
4. Sleep whenever your baby gives you a chance.
5. Keep a good stock of nutricious foods including snacks, main meals, fruit, milk and wholemeal bread which can be eaten without cooking.
6. Remember that this period is very difficult but only lasts for a short time.
