Preparing for the big day when you become a parent has never been easier. The arrival of your new baby can be daunting, and there are a number of things you’ll likely want to do to make sure everything runs smoothly. Here are some wonderful tips for a smooth transition into parenthood.
Learn as much as you can about parenting
Learn what you can do to keep your baby safe and healthy and understand the best ways to soothe and calm a fussy newborn. Take these first steps toward parenting the right way—the secure, compassionate, nurturing way. Talk to other parents, and trust that with time your relationship with your child will evolve into something that creates all the love and joy you’ll need for the rest of your life together.
Prepare your home for your baby’s arrival
Set up a room for your baby with the proper air filtration, temperature, and humidity controls. Create a safe and secure place for your baby to sleep. Set up a care area near the bedroom so you can easily check on the baby without waking him or her. Encourage friends and family to help you with activities around the house and welcome visitors to meet your new baby.
Identify your support system
Ask yourself: Who can help me? Who can I rely on to help with this new baby? Brainstorm a list of family members, friends, neighbours, co-workers, your partner’s family and close friends who you can lean on for support. Make sure you talk to people ahead of time about what they are willing or able to do for you.
Prepare your hospital kit
Have a hospital bag filled with everything you’ll need the day your baby is born, and make sure your birth plan is complete. These things are useful for those who plan to deliver in a hospital, as well as those who intend to have their baby at home with a midwife.
Get a health insurance cover ready
Get family health insurance sorted and ready for your baby’s arrival. Part of the planning process for having a baby is getting your finances, and your insurance organised. Be sure to have health insurance sorted by the time your baby arrives so that they are covered right from the very beginning. It is the easiest way to ensure you are covered if you or your baby falls ill or experiences any medical emergency. The newborn may need to be admitted into the hospital for certain conditions. If it proves to be a long stay, or if you need assistance from a nurse, this will be included in most plans as well
Conclusion
