Cleanliness is the top priority that you should consider first; i.e. crib, pillow or the atmosphere in the nursery room should be clean and without dust because your newborn baby is very fragile. He/she would probably be harmed easily from any disease. 

The light in the nursery room should not be too bright to avoid any harm to your baby's eyes.  Besides, the air temperature should not be too cold.  And the nursery room should be allowed sunlight to come through the room to help good atmosphere.

You should choose the crib or bed that is safe for your baby.  The bed covers, pillow cases, or blankets should be soft and breathable.

There should be few furniture or only necessary furniture in your baby's nursery room to avoid any dust.  Besides, stuffed animals should not be put in your baby's crib or bed.

I do hope the above tips would be useful for you to prepare your baby’s nursery.

How to Survive with Your New Baby

 
After waiting for approx. 9 months, finally he/she comes!   Let's welcome your baby with your warm heart.  He/she has a perfect and beautiful little mouth, little ears, little eyes, little hands, feet, etc.  I think this is such the best part of a year for you, right? 

Having a baby is the great life-changing experience.  You will certainly forgot the difficulties of labor once you hold your little baby in your arms.  From now on, you will find your baby more exciting, more perfect, more wonderful than you ever dreamed.

At the beginning, all the new babies need are food, sleep and warmth.  The best food for your little baby is, of course, breastfeeding.  So, you have to eat good, clean and nutritious food.   Relaxing and sleeping well.

Now, you need to understand your baby's sign as he/she can't tell you exactly what he/she wants.  Although you find it difficult to handle this, you will certainly do your best to take care your baby with patience and love, right?

During the first few months, most of your time will be decided by your baby's demand.  You may have to sleep when your baby sleep, eat when your baby is full or cancel all other things as to take care only your baby whenever he/she wants. 

Your baby's eating, bathing, sleeping, crying would probably cause you some nervous, but whenever your little baby give one smile to you, that would sweep all nervous away.  Your baby loves you.  He/she likes your voice, like your conversation, etc.

I can say that all babies bring happiness and wonderful things to their parents.  Warmly welcome your new baby, the wonderful person in the world.

Even though, your newborn baby will see things that are far away at 8 – 9 inches only, but he can remember your sound and smell precisely.

In the meantime, for your new baby, he recently found a new world that is very large and strange, not like in your warm womb, adapting to this unfamiliar world may cause your little baby concern and cry too much.  Don't be worried.  It is only a nature of baby who would like to communicate with you what he wants or need your help.

At the age of six months, your baby can sit by himself successfully but only a short time.

At the age of eight months, your baby will enjoy crawling to everywhere in your house.

At 12 months old, your baby is able to walk around by holding some furniture like table, bed, etc.  And he can stand by himself firmly for a moment.

Every steps of your baby’s development is very important.  You may help to expedite the development by choosing suitable toys and play together with him.  

Your baby will learn well while he plays and concentrates with toys for a long period of time.  Toys that allow your baby to play freely are blocks of wood, drawing, coloring or puzzles, etc.

The development of your baby during the first year until he can start walking, I think, that is a valuable reward for you.
