Newborn Essentials: How to Survive and Thrive the First Few Weeks
Article Excerpt:
As I was preparing for the birth of my daughter some years ago, I mistakenly thought that all I needed to do was to clean my home and stock her closet with clothing.
However, what I failed to realize is how baby gear can simplify my life with a baby at home.
As a new mom, I was also unprepared for the routine and emotional toll I would feel those first weeks. Arming myself and my home with the right essentials would have lessened the load. Knowing the basics of what you and your baby need well before he or she arrives will help you to survive and thrive as a mom.
