Becoming mother and giving the earth one more living human is just a miracle and a gift from God.
But hey! Being a mom, is just another story.
We have all taken our parents for granted. From the smallest things; like not drinking the tea which you asked for or thinking we're experts who already know everything there is to know
Personally, I believe, being a mom of a new-born or a toddler is an art.
You see, once upon a time, we were also that small, and we little creatures did a lot of these
things as well; Starting from depriving our mommies sleep, changing her meal times, cancelling all her outings since we decided to be fussy or always getting her late, and just being extremely demanding little sleep monsters who have our own time. Full stop.
Obviously, this was never on purpose, but a mommy never loses heart.
Its is whole different thing when she has the cutest living human to take care of. After-all, she did wait 9-10 whole months, or years of trying, for this!
We mothers, we know what is coming for us, the battle is strong; but still we would want another baby.
We forget both big and little things that changed in our lives, like The movie time with the husband becomes a nightmare when she badly want to catch some sleep during this free time, or when the movie has become intense, awwww little human is feeling thirsty.
Tip number 1:
A lullaby. Yes. Lullabies are magic. Speaking from experience, our voices have a certain familiarity for our babies. It provides them with warmth, because once upon a time, it's the only thing they could hear. A lot of lullabies are available on youtube, pick one which is calm and whenever they get irritated, shhh them and sing to them.
Here's an idea; let's prepare a nice dinner date for husband and I... Set the table, create a mood, tidy the house, look good...you know, 'quality’ time.
And just as dinner time nears, who looks good for the date? Not me! I just got milk spilt on me and my hair is messy since little human wanted to know what on earth is this new texture people call hair, what happens if i become tarzan and tug on it?
Tip number 2:
Try allocating feeding times as much as possible. Wether you are breast-feeding or bottle-feeding, you must have something which will make the baby know its his feeding time a.k.a, a comfort tool. When given its comfort tool, it will trigger an 'its food time' alert in his/her brains, and make them less fussy when
drinking and much more relaxed. For example; it could be a nice soft-feeling teddy or piece of fabric.
At the end of the day, we just miss our babies when they are sleeping, if that is not an art what is?
more tips next week!
