Parenting Tips for the New Mom

Babies have died from being carried in a sling. Bottom line, if your baby is under four months old, DO NOT carry your baby in a sling.

Your baby craves a lot of attention from you. There is a way that you can have your baby with you all day long and hands free.

You can cook, shop, clean the house, and cook while your baby is snuggled up against you.

There are several carriers on the market that allow you to do this. Some have been recalled. But there are lots of ways that you can wear your baby.

One of my favorites is the sling. But as I mentioned above, if under four months old, DO NOT use this.

Here is a short list of the benefits to your baby and yourself. Be aware that your back has to be in good shape! If you have back problems like I do, you better pass on this.

1.  Your baby could cry up to 50% less than most babies.

2. Your baby will be less bored.

3. Wearing your baby will stimulate her/his brain!

Parenting Tip

If your baby is ready to have a crib or you have one already, check out this safety tip.

Make sure that the crib slates are not more than 2 3/8″ apart. The mattress should fit snugly. See if there is a certification safety seal.

Following this precautions can keep your baby from strangulation. Also suffocation has occured when the mattress does not fit snugly.
