Advice for New Mom to Be's
Don’t listen to others who tell you that their baby “didn’t like to be swaddled” because that’s a lie. I don’t think any baby initially likes to be swaddled, but you’re doing it for their own benefit and they’ll thank you later (in the form of sweet sweet slumber).
1. Learn To Swaddle That Little Human And Swaddle Them Tight!
Call your local fire station and set up an appointment with a certified technician. They will walk you through the installation and inspect the carseat to ensure it’s installed correctly. This is a free service that every mom-to-be should take FULL advantage of!
2. Get Your Carseat Installed By An Expert
Make a list and stick to it. Call up your veteran mommy friends and ask them what was the one thing they used most with their newborn. I can assure you it wasn’t the wipe warmer.
3. Be Smart About Your Registry
I suggest making your game plan before they’re born so it will become a natural process from day one. I am not saying you should let them cry it out or not cry it out but find a method that resonates with you and start the process from day one!
4. Research Baby Schedules

5. Quit Mom Shaming
