However much people may seem interested in your baby, they aren’t really, they’re just being nice.

The better the TV programme, the more likely the child in your arms is to puke.Ĥ. You can visit the NHS website, nhs.uk, for more details.ģ. Give the normal amount of paracetamol, and two hours later give the normal amount of ibuprofen, then two hours later give the normal amount of paracetamol again. Top drug advice: if your baby is poorly and paracetamol isn’t cutting it, you are allowed to use paracetamol and ibuprofen if you need to, as long as you alternate them. I can’t lie to you, it looks a bit weird, but it will protect your back and save you hundreds of pounds in osteopath bills. They are like reinforced bumbags worn round your waist and your baby uses it as a hip-seat from three to 18 months. After having children you don’t just become a mother, you turn into your mother, too. I wish I’d taken photos every single day because it flies past and I would have liked to catch and bottle up as much as I could.ġ1. My “baby” is 13 at the time of writing …ĩ. You have lots of time to get it right, make some mistakes and then get it right again. It goes on and on motherhood is not just about being a mum to a newborn. She also thinks I’m doing a great job being a mum she was not trying to frustrate me.Ĩ. She thinks I’m brilliant – I’m not, but see point six – and so she thinks she’s done a great job.

You don’t need to be a martyr to motherhood. Still, it doesn’t mean that you have to hang around with them.Ĥ. If they have the time or need to compare your mothering skills with their own – or worse still, your baby with theirs, it’s because they are unsure, not because they are mean. I wish I’d known then that the world doesn’t stop if your baby has puke on his romper suit.ģ. (Actually, he probably threw up the normal amount, but he certainly threw up more than an adult, which was my yardstick up until becoming a mum.) I changed his entire outfit after every sick, which was exhausting and unnecessary. If you’re happy, your baby will be happy. If you’re unhappy, your baby will be unhappy. It is best to choose godparents who are single and childless.ĥ.
