Sleep when the baby sleeps, eat when the baby eats, do housework when the baby does housework!

There is no set way to do things, follow your gut and see what works

Its completely normal to feel overwhelmed. Take a deep breath and dont be ashamed to ask for help

Everything gets easier, and you will get sleep again. One day.

It's your baby and Mum knows best!

Me: I just don't know what to expect - how I am supposed to know how to look after a baby!?

My Mum: That's OK - Your baby has no idea what to expect from you either - after all neither of you has done any of this before. It's the 1st time for you you both. You and your baby will learn everything you need to know together.

Your baby hasn't read the baby books, so do what works and is easy!

Let the grandparents spoil you both 😘

Just remember they grow up so fast, so enjoy every moment and keep a fun journal of their first year. Then when your thinking 'why am i doing this' re-read some of those amazing moments.

So true and works amazingly.

Please don,t betoo anxious and worried. Relax and enjoy your baby and remember happy and joyful times as their babyhood will whizz by.

Get out of the house. Yes it can take hours to get the baby ready, pack the changing bag, realise that you have to change the baby again before finally leaving the house but you will feel better for it. Oh and ignore anyone who tuts if your baby dares to cry in public, that's what babies do.

Every thing is just a blip in time, it may not feel it at the time but when you look back its just a blip... Remembering and reminding yourself of that now will help you to know it won't last forever!

Smile and nod at everyone's advice, and then just do whatever it was you were going to do anyway.

It's one of the few bits of advice I listened to. Everyone has a different approach to parenthood so you have to do what feels right for you.

The magical words 'this too will pass!' And boy it does!

If you are both alive at the end of the day, it's a good day. If you manage to get dressed, it's an excellent day

Best piece of advice? When the baby falls asleep, MAKE SURE YOU GET SOME SLEEP AT THE SAME TIME, TOO!

Listen politely to the endless advice you will receive, but ignore it unless it sounds useful. Same goes for what the books say.

And seconding 'this too will pass'.

Everyone has been full of advice, some of it great, some of it less so! But the best advice has been to 'trust your own instincts'. It's so easy to second-guess everything you do, especially with so much (often contradictory) advice out there but what works for one Mum doesn't always work for you so trusting yourself to make the right decision for your baby will leave you and baby so much more relaxed and happy.

Trust what you think is best for your baby as its your baby noone else's.when I had my first was sleep when baby sleeps but you cant do that when you have more kids.

Choose two people whose advice you will value, and to all others who offer unsolicited/unhelpful/annoying advice, reply "Oh, that's interesting. I'll think about that." Or "Mmmm," if you can't even be bothered with the first.

The best advice I was given is probably quite an obvious one - every baby is different, so find methods that work for you and your baby, not what everyone else says to do

Treasure and remember all the special moments you have and they will help you on the difficult days

Be kind to yourself

Smile and nod.
It's all just a phase.. and
Enjoy it because it goes quickly!

Make sure you go out with the baby outside into the fresh air every day. It is good for the baby and you ( good way to get fit :)
