So, the holidays are here, and you, as a new mother, are stressing about getting all of your holiday shopping done while still being attentive to your child's needs. The last thing that you want is to be cruising the mall and have your little one begin screaming and be caught unprepared.First of all, you need to make sure that you are going to be comfortable. As the old saying goes, "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." That means that you should wear comfy shoes and clothes that make you feel confident enough to be seen in public but will still allow you to feel relaxed as you (perhaps quite literally) run your errands. Try to consolidate your shopping. If there is an all-purpose store close by, you can keep your eyes peeled before your trip for great bargains. That way, if you need to do some grocery shopping on top of choosing holiday gifts, you can get some of these things done simultaneously. If you are nursing, you may want to bring nursing pads to prevent leaks from becoming visible on your blouse or tee-shirt.

Author: Oli OsorhanCongratulations! You have just learned that you are having a baby. Whether this is your first or not you need to look at cribs. Do you have one already? Is it an antique? A second hand crib whether antique or not needs to be carefully looked at. This is for the safety of your new baby. The screws, bolts, and/or other fasteners should all be in place. Are they loose? Will the position of the mattress hold under your baby's weight? It is imperative that this be tested before you put your baby in the crib. Take something that approximates the weight of your baby at about 4 months old. Bounce it off the mattress to be certain it will hold its position. If it doesn't it could cause serious injury to your baby or worse. When setting up the nursery (if it isn't already up) consider very carefully where you will place the crib. If you place the crib near a window and you have Venetian blinds, either shorten the cords or anchor them somewhere that your baby can't reach and get a hold of them. If it all possible avoid placing the crib near the window. As your baby grows into a toddler and s/he attempts to climb out of the crib; s/he could possibly fall...more
