It's not the end of the world if you don't rush to them every single time.]]> 2020-10-04 18:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kmauck11/5rugg7edhikgk8yj/wish/801101485 Sarah T https://padlet.com/kmauck11/5rugg7edhikgk8yj/wish/801102199 Be kind to yourself and go with the flow.

Moms always worry when will their child be able to do X.Y,Z. Try to enjoy the phase you are in because it goes by super fast and you will miss it!!

Also, I loved this book!!

Also- schedule your showers!

Try not to worry when other babies do things different or all your education doesn't help get past a hurdle. Children grow in their own time.]]> 2020-10-04 18:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kmauck11/5rugg7edhikgk8yj/wish/801103235 Mom and Dad https://padlet.com/kmauck11/5rugg7edhikgk8yj/wish/801104290 Enjoy every age she is at. There is something unique about every age they are at - enjoy it and cherish it. And there is something scary about every age they are at. You'll get through it. ]]> 2020-10-04 18:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kmauck11/5rugg7edhikgk8yj/wish/801104290 Mike Tift https://padlet.com/kmauck11/5rugg7edhikgk8yj/wish/801104722 Take grandparents, aunts, uncles, and others up on their offer to take care of the little ones to give you a break!

It took me forever to discover this miracle product. You can get it at CVS.

New topic: she will also teach you what she needs in life. It's such a beautiful relationship. Enjoy.

Don't always listen to other people's advice. Listen to your instincts first. Every child is unique.

Trust yourself and your instincts. As Cara from "Taking Cara Babies" (hugely recommend her baby sleep classes!) says, there is NO BETTER PARENT for your baby than YOU!]]> 2020-10-04 18:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kmauck11/5rugg7edhikgk8yj/wish/801105881 From Tricia Meredith https://padlet.com/kmauck11/5rugg7edhikgk8yj/wish/801106171 She will eventually go to sleep.

New babies are a big adjustment for every parent, but it's also ok to ask for help when you need it. Counseling & seeing the doctor really helped me after Robbie was born!]]> 2020-10-04 18:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kmauck11/5rugg7edhikgk8yj/wish/801108807 Yoda https://padlet.com/kmauck11/5rugg7edhikgk8yj/wish/801108959 Never too late for Star Wars, it is]]> 2020-10-04 18:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kmauck11/5rugg7edhikgk8yj/wish/801108959
