Awesome August Mommies HOT TIPS
-- place baby in rocker in the bathroom with the shower running always knocks her out and gets Mommy a shower.
- warm bath soothes her before sleep
- THE SWING!
- putting baby to bed awake with the mobile or aquarium on is enough to settle this turkey to sleep for the night after being topped up with milk
- pump at some point during the day (for me it's the morning) to enable someone else to give her a bottle so you can do something else or GO OUT
- pack the diaper bag the night before if you're going out
- Make your DH/FH watch the baby so you can have a bath or something just for you
- COFFEE
- Start Blowdrying your hair again - it'll put the LO to sleep
- bouncing on an exercise ball!!
- If you co-sleep or breastfeed in bed OR make a habit of changing baby's diaper on your bed ... invest in a mattress protector with a waterproof backing.
- Also, breastfeed lying down so you can sleep through most of the feedings. Sleep = happiness lol
- Miracle Blankets are like a straight jacket for your baby N sleeps through the night in his all the time
-Sound Machine
- Send your other children to daycare a few days a week. Your sanity is worth it!
- for dry skin issues ( which looked like baby acne). After much research on the internet I decided to try epsom salts in her bath and I purchased Baby Aveeno cream to put on her face. Within 2-3 days her face was perfectly clear again. Thought I would post that in case any of you were seeing similar issues with your LO's. Apparently the epsom salts and aveeno cream are also great for LO's with eczema.
