         Having your first-born baby is a very exciting time. Your husband has celebrated with his friends by handing out the cigars and toasting your baby's good health. You have your friends visiting you in hospital, bearing gifts and good wishes. It is all a big buzz. The nurses are there to help and guide you with breast-feeding, changing baby's diaper and with bath time. Then, you finally get to go home, tired but confident and happy. What happens next? It is not going as planned, where did you go wrong?

First and foremost, please understand you have not done anything wrong. There is an adjustment period needed for both you and the baby. Previously the baby was in a nice warm incubator (your tummy) and then after birth, cared for in an air-conditioned hospital, with someone to tend to his every need. Now he is at home with sleep deprived Mum and

These first few weeks are a settling in period for both baby and his parents. Sleep deprivation is something you will learn to overcome by taking naps during the day, when baby is asleep. Housework comes secondary to both you and yours baby's wellbeing. Your husband will be only too pleased to help when he comes home from work. Every new parent is a learner and amazingly after the first few weeks you will realise you are getting into a routine and everyone seems calmer. You are starting to understand the different cries and whether they mean hunger or tiredness. Your baby sleeps those few minutes longer, the house gets cleaned, and the tea gets cooked. Later, enjoy giving baby his bath and after he has been put to bed, is the time you should allow yourself to relax. Take a shower in peace, read a book or watch television. You have that sense of achievement and rightly so.

Try and make time in those first few weeks to really get to know and bond with your baby. Take him for a walk in the pram. It makes both of you feel good. Occasionally visit a friend for morning or afternoon tea. Talk to them about how you are coping and they in turn will relate to you how they felt when they first bought their baby home. You are not on your own.

One thing to remember is that baby will sense when you are tense. A relaxed Mum will help to create a relaxed baby.
