It is important that moms with newborns take the time to care for themselves and not just their children. Not practicing self-care can lead to physical illness, feeling emotionally drained, and/or not being able to properly function in your role as mother, wife/partner, friend, etc.
Premature Labour 101
Most, approximately 90% of expecting mothers, will carry their babies to term. “To term” means 37 weeks of pregnancy onwards. Around 10% of women may go into labour before 37 weeks. This is called premature labour or preterm labour, and it is aptly defined as when your body gets ready to give birth to early or goes into labour more than three weeks before your due date.
The Importance of Written & Verbal Communication
What is important to remember when it comes to written and verbal communication is that children need not be perfect from the get go. It is something that can be worked on over long periods of school time, and even well into adulthood. Parents should simply encourage communication (of all forms, which includes listening, observing, and understanding!) in order to help their children hone their communication skills.
The Role of Your Nutrition Pre-Pregnancy
Usually women begin caring about their health and nutrition–the food and nutrients taken in by the body—once they discover that they are pregnant. Ideally, however, for women trying to conceive, looking into health and nutrition even before pregnancy is an important first step often overlooked. The more prepared a woman is in terms of her health and nutrition, the better her chances of conception and the better the chances she will have a healthy pregnancy.
Talking Tots & Speech Development
Many moms can relate to being worried about their young children hitting the right milestones, and speech is right up there as one of the major milestones moms and dads look out for as their babies turn to toddlers and those toddlers turn to children.
How Involved Should Your Parents Be With Your Newborn?
You’re excited to have a new baby, and your parents are excited too. As you begin to plan and prepare for your baby, your parents are very likely to begin giving tips and advice. After all, they’ve done this! They raised you! Some couples may find, however, that some of the advice does not fit with how you thought you’d be raising your little one.

Introducing Your Baby to Your Pet
For many couples, their fur-babies are their first babies, occupying a very special place in their hearts and homes. This place, while seldom removed with the arrival of a human baby, can often get a little shaken up in a way that the furbabies don’t understand. Newborn humans require a lot of attention, smell different, make unusual noises, and generally introduce a plethora of new gadgets, gizmos, and toys that are all off limits for even the cleanest of pets, and this can be strange.
