ALL I WILL DO WILL PRAY AND LET GOD CONTROL IT AND PRAY OVER YOUR CHILDRENI'm a 1st time mom who needs advice on how to handle a new baby %26amp; a full time job without losing my mind?
Shamelessly use your family and friends, probably most of them have been where you are. Call your sister, or your cousin, or your Aunt, and say ';We need to get away from this cherished child, before we act out';. Anyone who has ever been where you are is likely to help out.
Be shameless.
It saves time.I'm a 1st time mom who needs advice on how to handle a new baby %26amp; a full time job without losing my mind?
It's way too hard working a full time job and raiseing a baby. I started my own home business one year ago. I no longer have a full time job, I just work on my business. It's so much better I can work when I want and also have time for my kids.
For a new parent who has had no experience with infants, simply picking up and holding a baby is a little scary, dressing one is frightening, and bathing one is downright terrifying. Luckily, infants aren't able to squirm about much, so you don't have to worry right away about yours twisting out of your arms or escaping from your grip on the changing table. And babies are tough; they don't break under the stress of normal handling. (Don't worry about emotional fragility, either. Your baby's psyche won't be damaged for life if you are cross, in a hurry, or preoccupied once in a while.)
It is necessary to support your baby's head with one hand for about three months when you pick him up and to hold the baby against your shoulder so his head won't fall backward when you carry him. It used to be common to swaddle babies loosely in receiving blankets, and some parents like to enclose their infants' arms and legs this way until they are used to holding and carrying them. You'll soon find yourself going smoothly through the tasks that involve moving and handling your baby and subconsciously avoiding the sudden movements and loud noises that frighten or startle babies.

Hopefully you have family, especially daddy, to help. My daughter is a new mom and will be going back to work in late January. Our son-in-law is there to be with Allie - he has his ';daddy diaper bag.';
Just take it easy and depend on family. They are much better for the baby than day care!
Hang in there! When my son was born I worked a full time and a part time job unitl I got caught up! You'll get there!
This is when you find out if your chose your mate for the right reasons. He needs to pick up the slack and forget about gender roles.
I am in the same situation and more worse as i am expecting another baby. Ask for help from all relatives. Dont give all yourself to the employment but give all to the baby. it is just for a short time. may God see you through.
Of course daddy should be helping you as much as possible.
Also, do not feel bad about getting as much as you can, outside help. Grandma's, grandpa's, any family that wants to help. Let them.
When it comes to fathers it is hard for them to right off the bat help when they walk in from work. They are thinking that they have been at work all day and want a moment to un wind. Very nicely tell them that YOUR job started the moment the baby was born and has NOT stoped since and you would like to un wind also.
Being out side is alway a good thing. even if you take baby with you. being in the house all the time can drive you nutty. dont worry about the weather. It will help baby get use to every kind of weather.
Look into a mommy and me class. It will get you out and you might make new friend with children that will be in the same boat as you and will also have some advice
Good Luck and god bless
Is it possible to cut your hours down at work??i was fulltime until 5 weeks before my due date then i went back 2 1/2 months after my baby was born.It is really hard to juggle husband,baby and job and dont push yourself to be able to do it..You are only human no-one is a supermum.Dont forget in amongst everything to take time for yourself because most mothers do forget.dont feel bad bout asking for help.Thats what people are for..Even if someone looks after bub just so you can catch up on sleep
Don't be too proud to ask for help when you need it. Having a baby is stressful whether your a first time mom or a mother of 10. Don't forget it's ok to let a baby cry when you know the baby is ok. Take time for your self when you start to feel over whelmed, sit out side and take in some fresh air for a few minutes. Work is work you may have a hard time balancing it at first but you have to find your happy medium, whether you take a 15 minute walk at lunch or call the sitter to find out how the baby is doing. The most important thing is when you start to feel over whelmed call your mom or a friend your not alone.
the first important thing is to have a good babysitter. Usually family members are the best candidates. Then, don't hold your baby too much by the time u go home from work, the baby will have a hard time letting u go. I know it's hard. But u will be fine, ask for help from family if you're tired after work, don't force yourself to take care of the baby if you don't feel good. It will leads to depression. Good luck, u are a good mom.
