Quotes about Parenthood

This is great! Serve as a reminder for us... Being Parents are not easy. We strive to give the best to our child.

Quote: "Having a baby is not just adding another pair of socks to the laundry. It is a responsibility and an adventure, an experience that alters that relationship between you and your mate, you and the larger world and creates an entirely new relationship for you."

Quote: "A newborn does not cry to get your goat or to manipulate you. These tiny creatures are not yet capable of such adult motives. A newborn cries to get her needs met; she has no other means of communication. Responding to cries does not encourage a baby to cry more often. Indeed, studies show that babies who are attended to promptly cry less. Your quick response assures her that she lives in a safe, dependable environment."

Quote: "In the early months, it's better to try to accept a little chaos; having a baby is not a tidy experience. In time, you and your baby will develop a rhythm. Your baby will settle into a schedule, sleep longer, and at the same time you will start to feel more confident and competent."

Quote: " Your baby's personality will play a role in the kind of mother you are. It's important to give yourself the gift of flexibility. No one is perfect, and no one can predict how she will feel as a parent before she becomes one. Allow yourself to be human, and to change your mind!"

Quote: "Birth will not magically transform either your husband or you into perfect, new wave parents. It is essential for the two of you to have time alone together, without the baby. Take it slowly and give each other a lot of leeway in these early months."

Quote:"Many women are disappointed and shocked when they find that it is difficult at first. Engorgement " when your milk comes in " can be painful and your nipples may be sore from the sucking. Nursing can also be fatiguing, and it takes a while for your milk to work in sync with the baby's needs - you may find that you are leaking milk between feedings. This is all normal. Do not be discouraged by people who say your milk is not good; it is the best food your baby can have."
