Establish a Schedule

The first few weeks will be a blur of feeding, burping, and changing your newborn. Parents will begin to notice that their little one has a natural schedule that they tend to stick to. One tip that can help you prepare for the months to come is to take note of when your little one sleeps, eats, and awakens for activities.

We recommend configuring a schedule that accommodates your newborn’s preferences with your own. The first couple of weeks will consist of conforming to baby’s plans, and eating and sleeping when she does. Once the two of you have a routine established, you can begin to take steps to reinforce when it’s time to play and when it’s time to slumber.

Don’t Forget to Take Care of Yourself

Raising a new addition to your family can be exciting, but it can become too easy to focus too much on baby and not enough on you (or your spouse). Bear in mind that you will still need to perform all of your daily chores and routines, including showers, naps, and more. Most new parents cite a lack of sleep and proper diet as the top problems when caring for their newborn. Both of these insufficiencies can negatively impact your health, as well as disrupt your ability to raise a child in a happy household. It can prove challenging to find the time to continue your regular routine, but figuring out a system that works will help you to feel better throughout the entire process!

Focus on Alone Time with Dad

Both biological and adoptive parents will quickly learn that the bond between a mother and child is strong, and that can oftentimes leave the other partner feeling left out of the circle. Many new fathers cite feeling a lack of bonding with their newborn, especially dads who entered fatherhood through adoption. It can help to plan for father/child time by scheduling activities between the two, after the baby is fed of course. Even having Mom out of the room for a short time can do much to strengthen the bond between father and child.

Bonding time with Dad will help the male figure grow closer to their little one while also showing baby that there can be more than one source for comfort. Small efforts in the first few weeks can provide amazing benefits for both individuals, as well as give mom some time to relax!

Work Together!

Many adults you will speak with during this exciting time will tell you it is one of the most rewarding experiences, but everyone will also include one detail — it is hard work! Our advice during this wondrous and challenging time is to focus on working together on every aspect of child care. While Mom has traditionally taken on a bulk of the duties, modern dads have begun to do their part to ensure that the efforts are evener. Not only will this help to make the process easier for both members, it will also help to strengthen the relationship for future adventures and challenges.
