One of the best things to do is to make a schedule for taking care of a new born. It may seem silly, but the fight about whose turn it is to feed the baby at three o clock in the morning is never fun. Create hourly shifts that you and your spouse can work around and nap around. It will make things so much easier on you to not have to argue on top of take care of a baby. First time parents shouldn't feel bad for being scared or confused. No matter how many times everyone else does it, it is always a foreign area to first timers.
