Life with baby

In the initial weeks, you will be held up with diapering, feeding every 2-3 hrs and no wonder to see a over tired parents struggling to cope up their daily schedules and activities. But very soon, you would be able to plan your activities and execute effectively.

New born behaviors
Sounds - New born lungs are very shallow and breathing will be shallow. It may be fast, irregular and produce some strange sounds
Sneezing - New born are sensitive to bright lights and may sneeze whenever they open eyes for the first few days. Sneezing doesnt mean that babies have cold. Its just that their noses are very sensitive. Sneezing also helps in clearing out the dirt from nasal passages
Hiccups - New born hiccup quite a lot in the initial weeks which is very normal and not to be alarmed and it should not be a concern for parents. Its caused by sudden irregular contractions of the diaphragm and the muscles involved in respiration are getting stronger and trying to work in harmony.
Passing Gas - Passing gas loudly is perfectly normal as the digestive system are not fully developed in babies. They will pass more quietly and less frequently when it gets developed fully. So dont get noticed by the sounds then and there.
Poo poo - You can expect a life very soon with cleaning your baby's poo poo on every diaper change. When we first noticed our nurse in the hospital changed our baby's diaper without a fuss, we never turned head off for changing our baby's diaper then. Get used to it ...thats the best way ;)
Wet Diapers - Expect 6-8 during the first 3-4 months. It is always required to change diaper every 2-3 hrs, keep your baby comfortable, clean(though poo diapers require immediate attention)

Tip :

1. Always watch for baby sprays on diaper change. You can always expect the unexpected..especially on night time when you were sleepy and expecting more sleep, because babies do not know nights and days...they just spray, giggle at you and say 'hey mommy , clean it quick'..Better be quick in changing diapers and have some extra diapers handy always.
2. Always sing, make faces which would distract babies while changing diapers (make your life easy !!!!)
3. Diaper rash - You can notice a big improvement even if you keep open, air dry your baby's diaper area even for 5 mts. Make it as a routine till it vanishes.
