Parenting/Month 1
Many people use the terms "bonding" and "attachment" as if they were the same. Actually they mean quite different things.
Feeding your new baby may be a challenge to you as a new parent. When a tiny baby needs to eat every two or three hours, it's hard to believe you'll ever get sleep again! As she gets bigger, she won't need to be fed so often.
Crying is baby's way of asking for help. During the first few months, she can't control when she starts to cry. She cries only when in need and can't stop until those needs are met or until she's too tired to go on.
Becoming a parent is an exciting change in your life, but it will take time to feel comfortable in your important new role. Parents and babies learn together. Don't expect to know how to handle everything overnight.
