With another year over, lots of you will be making New Year Resolutions so here are a few we recommend for new mums:
- Service your pram or pushchair regularly - it is probably one of the most expensive items you will buy for your baby so look after it. Check screws are not working loose, lubricate moving parts if necessary, clean off mud and grit from wheels to keep it running smoothly, don't fold it with items left in the basket or you will buckle the chassis and remember to follow the instructions in your manual for use!
- Never buy a 2nd hand car seat as you will not know its history
- Be kind to the environment (and your pocket) with reusable nappies
- Keep fit! Go for walks with your baby in the pram or invest in a baby carrier
- Breast feeding helps you loose those extra pounds - better than any diet!
- Get an active social life with your baby. There are lots of new things for you to try, such as Jo Jingles, Aquatots, and you will make lots of new friends
- Introduce a night time routine and stick to it - you'll soon reap the benefit!
- Improve safety around the home. Invest in stair gates and cupboard locks to keep your little one away from harms way.
- Introduce good eating habits from the start with plenty of freshly prepared food. There are lots of aids available now to make preparing food easy, such as the Wean Machine which we sell both in the shop and on-line http://www.newbeginningsbabyshop.co.uk/products.php?catid=63
- Don't forget to treat yourself occasionally too. A happy and relaxed mum is the essential ingredient for a contented baby.
