Learn the power of "no." If you say "yes" to every invitation, volunteer opportunity, etc. you will become run down. Cherish the priceless moments you spend with your baby, even if it means saying "no" to something else.

If your child really likes a certain toy have a backup one in case baby loses it.

During your pregnancy prepare some ready-to-eat-meals and freeze them so you don't have to worry about cooking for a few days.

Install your car seat before baby comes so you don't have to figure out how to do it once baby has arrived. Most firehouses have someone to help you install it, if you are having difficulty.

To help soothe your baby, swaddle her w/ arms down in blanket that has your scent. This will give extra security to your baby.

Help develop your toddler's imagination by looking at clouds in the sky and finding different shapes or animal formations in the clouds.

Toddlers are very interested in themselves. Keep plastic mirrors around for them to look at themselves and watch themselves play.

Developing a sleep routine can help baby sleep better. Keep bed time consistent and develop soothing rituals such as singing, rocking, reading to, or cuddling baby.

Baby loves to hear your voice. Talk to baby as you go about your activities, explaining to him what you are doing.

Have a baby first aid kit that is easily accessible. Make sure kit contains infant non-aspirin pain reliever and your pediatricians phone number. Read more.
