My Baby Survival Guide

My baby survival guide is a guide written by a first time mother for all parents who want a guide for helping to care for their baby. Nothing or no-one can prepare you for what it takes to care for a new baby. When I first brought my baby home, I was completely out of my depth. I had no idea how to care for this vulnerable little life. And although my baby didn’t come with a instruction manual, I wish he had.

I remember saying to my husband, “No one told me that it would be like this”. I had to find things out the hard (and long) way, and vowed to myself that I would record all of the little hints and tips that made my life easier so that I could use them again with my next child. One day I thought, however, this information could help others too. I knew that I had spent hours researching things on the internet myself, only to come away with little more information than when I had started.

Hence, the purpose of My Baby Survival Guide, is to provide you with all the little tid-bits of information that helped me with my baby and to save you the time and heart-ache involved with discovering them yourself.

I also want to be able to hear your point of view on topics that are raised. The more issues that can be discussed out in the open, the easier it will be for other parents who come after us to have access to this information.

I am by no means an expert on parenting, many of the things I will post about will have been discovered through trial and error. I am just a first time mum with a wish to help all other parents and make their jobs a little easier by revealing some of the tricks that worked for me and my baby. I don’t want others to have the same feelings of “No one told me it would be like this”.

My baby survival guide - a guide to surviving those first difficult months with your precious new baby. It’s like the baby instruction manual you never had.
