The first year with your child is beautiful and intense.
No matter how much you have prepared for life with a baby, I promise you, it will still be full of surprises!
Your child develops from a tiny, completely dependant little human to a small toddler with his own ideas of how to explore the world around him. It is amazing to see what milestones babies reach just within their first year of life.
No matter if you are a first-time mom, or having your second baby, oftentimes motherhood can be more demanding than you previously thought.
After being pregnant and dreaming of finally bringing your newborn home, you are now looking after your baby around the clock. Your newborn can only express his needs to a limited extent and needs an infinite amount of love and care.
After healing from birth and slowly establishing breastfeeding, you as a mom will continue to grow just like your little one.
Amongst many other things, you will learn how to bathe your newborn and calm your crying baby.
Remember, “the days are long, but the years are short”. Embrace the season you’re in and enjoy it as much as you can.
Much love from myMommyHeart to yours!
