Some helpful advice
• It is always easier to take advice from parents who have already been through this process before

Saving money
• Saving money here and there will be a help while your child grows
• As a parent you want to see your child in brand new clothes and shiny toys but that isn’t always possible
• Using hand-me downs from a family member can help save extra money
Protect against germs
• Everyone in your family will want to hold your new baby but make sure they wash their hands first
• Your baby doesn’t have a strong immune system yet and any germs can be more powerful

Finding a doctor
• Finding your pediatrician ahead of time will be a huge weight off of your shoulders
• Make sure you feel comfortable with him/her because they will be your baby’s doctor
• Consider recommendations from friends and family on pediatricians they used
Take advice
• Talk to other mothers who have been through it all before
• You can learn from experiences they had and that will prepare you
• Make sure you talk with your partner as well to make sure you both are on the same page
Have a help group
• Make sure you talk to family, friends, and neighbors about potentially helping watch your baby if you need some help

• Take a nap because you will lose sleep during the night
Plan work leave
