The other day I was watching Oprah one of my favorite shows for many reasons but, that would be another subject. The topic was unfit mothers. Trust me it was more than evident that some of the guests there had some serious issues due to the amount of abuse or neglect that they place their children in.

The first of your baby milestones is helping your newborn adjust to his new home.

So let’s continue discussing the issues that Jennifer had in adjusting to life at home with her beautiful new baby boy, Joshua.

It was certainly helping Jen to talk to me about what she felt. She wasn’t really prepared for the sheer, overwhelming sense of total responsibility for this wonderful, new life.

So what should you expect for your baby’s first week home?

When you think about it it is 9 months since you found out that you would bring a new life into your home.

So how do you prepare – you decorate the nursery; childproof your home; gather all the supplies and equipment you will need.

Everyone just loves newborn babies!

But I decided to wait a while until most of the visitors had died down before going round to visit.

So when I got there Jenny was sitting resting, surrounded by diapers, toys, teddies, clothes, her newborn baby sound asleep in his crib.

Oh, great she’s coping well, I thought.

How wrong I was – as soon as she saw me she burst into tears – I gave her a hug, made her a coffee and we sat down to talk

There are many things that you can do for your newborn that are going to help them in their development and are going to help them be smarter and develop faster. Remember that talking is one of the most important things that you can do for them.
