Childcare
What does child-care mean to you?
Nurturing your baby is a whole new situation to you if you are a first Mom.
As a first Mum you experience many duties you never had to do before. Most probably you often feel overtired and exhausted. These might lead you feeling doubtful, guilty and just simply thinking you are not a „good mother“. Forget the „good mother“ stereotype and infact just be a real one. Give yourself some time! Be patient you have to adjust to this new situation, new routine new lifestyle. You will slowly get to know your child’s needs, desires, and personality. If you have support it is a bit easier to adjust to the new routine. Be it your Mother, your pediatrician or a professional childcarer like me. Someone you trust helps you to become a lot more confident when you have doubts. Someone who can answer your questions, someone who shows you practical techniques to make life easier with a newborn.
