No parents are ever perfect! Even if you think back on your childhood as being amazing, your parents made mistakes, too. The beauty is that a few mistakes will rarely lead to permanent damage in a child. That said, here is some advice from parents like you on how to do the very best you can rear a child.
When buying a car seat for your child, it is important that you do your research first. This is because so many car seats have been recalled for safety reasons and you want to make sure your child is not put in one of these. You can look online for car seat recalls.
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.
Just like other relationships you may have in your life, communicating is the key to connecting with your child. By letting them know you are interested in what they have to say, they will feel like they can trust you. By you communicating with them, they are more likely to respect you.
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.
In the end, no one’s advice is perfect, either. Your situation will call for different reactions than my situations with my children. In fact, each child will need different treatment to deal with their own personality type. Just remember that your kids will grow up to be healthy, happy adults as long as you love them, and that’s the easy part!
