Suggestions Worth Learning For Expectant Parents

By Beth Yu


Raising your first baby is a time in life that is terrifying, terrific, and thoroughly educational. You'll find that each parent has a few unique experiences that are all his or her own. No matter how well prepared you think you are, the odds are good that you'll realize you have a lot to learn along the way.

Having babies in the bed with parents is an issue that gets a great deal of discussion. But this is such an fascinating and important topic that we want to say a few more words about it. Some additional benefits to co-sleeping involve the stronger bond that can be formed between parents and their baby. Co-sleeping gives parents who miss out on precious moments due to a need to work outside the home an opportunity to recapture some of the time that's been missed even if it is while sleeping. There is also a positive influence on breast-feeding when co-sleeping. Recent studies show that co-sleeping with babies leads to fewer issues for the breast-feeding process.

You probably expect that there are a few distinct disadvantages associated with co-sleeping. No one wants a situation where the baby becomes too dependent on co-sleeping and never sleeps on his or her own. All babies reach a point where they will need to sleep alone. As the parents, only you can decide when the time is right to have your bed back to yourselves.

Just try to make this a non-event so that it doesn't become too stressful for all involved. A common fear to consider is whether having a baby in bed will make your bedroom less of a romantic haven for the two of you. Ask other parents how their sex lives were impacted by the baby.

Don't go for a dinner out with baby until you take a little time to see how baby is likely to react while you're dining. The reason is that kids are pretty consistent as far as how they are going to act at mealtime is no matter where they are eating.

All you need to do is let your baby nurse, take a bottle, or suck on a pacifier. The sucking action will naturally allow the pressure in the ear canal to be relieved. Hopefully these small tips can help relieve some of the pressure involved in being a parent. Co-sleeping is still an issue that people on all sides of the issue feel strongly about. It is a decision that individual parents and couples must make.
