In a world so full of information, nothing is unknown. However, when the most incredible moment is about to arrive—that of becoming parents—it is necessary to have the most accurate knowledge possible of what this event will bring to their lives.
There are thousands of articles on countless websites for new parents that they wouldn't finish reading, and so many topics that they wouldn't even know where to start. That's why it's important to understand what's essential, what mom and dad, who are about to welcome their little piece of heaven , specifically need to know.
Sometimes, they look for answers when they are already going through a particular situation and in that desperation they are willing to receive any information from anyone, accepting it as true. This is where they feel frustrated thinking that they are not doing things right and, however, they could be going through such a natural moment for their baby without knowing it.
Issues such as breastfeeding, crying, hives, physical appearance, sleep , chafing, colic, bowel movements, ways to accommodate the baby in its crib , etc. tend to worry and create a tense situation where nervous parents transmit their anxiety to the baby without any justifiable reason, because there are things that are simply going to happen because they are part of the new life.
Fortunately, today's healthcare professionals, especially neonatologists, are well-trained to support you from before your baby is born. Some even take specific courses on topics such as breastfeeding and offer prenatal talks, both in groups and privately. These will provide you with more reliable information and a sense of peace of mind that will make you feel more confident in welcoming your baby and more relaxed when going through previously familiar situations.
However, there are no magic formulas that will fix everything, because every life is unique, every baby is special, and every mother or father will discover many things with their baby. But it will always be much better if they are informed and prepared, because if they are, they will be ensuring that there will be more time to enjoy their baby and less time to worry about him.
