As a new parent, you’ll encounter new experiences daily, but you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Advice from those who’ve been through it can be invaluable. Here are some practical tips shared by parents in the community at At Home Insemination that every new parent should consider.
- “Always have a clean diaper handy under your baby during a diaper change for a quick swap. This is especially useful if you have a boy, as they tend to pee when exposed to cool air.” — Sarah.
- “Create a daily ‘get out’ time. Around 2 p.m., depending on when my baby eats, I like to go out for errands or a walk. It helps me maintain my sanity and I swear it helps her sleep better at night!” — Alex.
- “I found burp cloths too small. Instead, I used large washcloths to catch any spit-up—this way, my clothes stayed clean!” — Jamie.
- “Invest in a good baby carrier. It allows you to keep your baby close while having your hands free for other tasks.” — Maya.
