New Year, New Addition

Happy New Year everyone.
What a wonderful time of year it is, so full of promise. A time of year when people start making plans and resolutions for the future.
May of you may be expecting a new addition to the family very soon, if so, congratulations.
The plans for your immediate future are probably pretty much sorted. Welcome baby into the world and get through the first three months any way you can. It is a very busy time, with lack of sleep playing a major role. This doesn't last forever, so take heart. Here are a couple of tips to help you in those first few months.
1. Practice your relaxation techniques every day. It doesn't matter how busy you are, make time to do this. It really pays off. A relaxed Mum and Dad copes better with everything.
2. Nap during the day. When baby sleeps, you sleep. For example, babies morning nap, practice relaxation. Babies afternoon nap, you sleep.
3. Take time out of the house daily. Even a short walk around the block will refresh and revive you. It's good for baby too. Good luck and have a wonderful year.
