Learning how to be a good parent is a process. For a lot of us parenting doesn’t come naturally. Everyone is scared of making mistakes when it comes to being the one responsible for a new life. While no one has all the answers, these tips should help you on your way.
For parents of children who are picky eaters, it is important that you give the child whatever they like. Although you may feel frustrated that your child is eating the same foods, it is important that they eat something, even if it is the same thing over and over again.
Let the baby nurse as long as he is still actively sucking with deep drawn motions. If the baby starts to slow down, hold down on your breast for a few seconds to release more milk. If he is still hungry, this will get him going again. If he does not respond then try switching sides as he may have emptied that breast.
“Me time” is extremely beneficial to parents and these brief periods of time without the kids should occur at regular intervals. Get a loved one to watch them, even if it’s only a few hours. Tension often arises after parents have gone too long without a break from the kids. As tension rises, so does the stress of the household, which can cause everyone to be unhappy.
Learn to breastfeed your baby in public so that you will be able to breastfeed for your child’s first year of life. Mothers who have not learned how to discretely nurse in public tend to start offering bottles and that is usually the beginning of the end of a breastfeeding relationship.
These tips only cover a fraction of the issues involved with parenting. You could read every baby book in the world and you would still be left with questions. All you can do is read what you can, listen to people’s advice and see what works for you and your family.
