Now I am not a doctor or baby expert. I do not have all the answers and if something just doesn't seem right you should call your ped. just to check.
Trust your instincts. You know what is best for your baby always :)
Don't worry if:
- Other people don't want to hold your little one right away- Not everyone is a "baby person". It doesn't mean that they don't care. To many people, babies are fragile and they man not feel comfortable holding your little bundle. This will change
- Your babies face is covered in pimples- Bryns baby acne started around 3 weeks. There isn't really anything you can do. It will go away on its own at around 8-10 weeks.
- Their personality changes overnight- Just a basic truth. This happens so many times you will start to lose track. Don't get frustrated. Its all a part of being a baby.
- Scaly, orange dandruff engulfs your little ones head- Cradle cap is very normal. It does go away. Aveeno shampoo for dry skin helps A LOT!
- You call your pediatrician almost daily with questions- Hey, you pay these people for this. Piece of mind is absolutely priceless.
- Your baby "isn't like others his/her age"-This sounds like a given but it is hard not to compare babies. Each baby develops at their own pace. Just because your friends baby is already rolling over or grabbing toys doesn't mean that your baby should be able to do the same nor does it make you a bad parent. Don't stress. Babies have been doing this for thousands of years. You'll get there.
- Everyone tries to give you advice- Don't let people push you around. Especially family. My best advice, try everything and do what feels right or what works for you. Just because someone elses bedtime routine for their baby works for them doesn't mean it will work for you
