I am about 6 weeks away from becoming a mother! To twins! When I first discovered that I was pregnant, I was overjoyed to say the least. My husband and I will be bringing 2 new lives to this world and we know we will love them to bits. As the months went by, I started getting anxious and worried. This is my first pregnancy and I have NO CLUE how to take care of babies. In fact, I have NEVER even carried a newborn in my life. I always found them too fragile and feared hurting them. Soon I will have 2 to take care of! How will I cope? How will I know what to do? What if I did things wrongly?
So began my search for information on baby care – I read books after books (I have never read as much in my life!), hungrily surfed the internet and also spoke to many mothers (who are always willing to share). There is a whole load of information out there and surprisingly (or not surprisingly), a lot of them are conflicting. Some say let your baby cry, some say never let your baby cry. In both scenarios, the mothers LOVE their babies and only want the BEST for their daughter/son. And yet, their approaches can be so different.
As I digest the information and compare the different points of view, I formed some opinion on what I think makes sense. After having spent all this time (and I will continue to spend time on this), I thought I should share what I have learnt. Hence this blog. Over time, I will also share with you whether what I have learnt, when put into practice, works.
Do drop by every now and then so you can benefit from my efforts. I would also love to hear from you if you have anything to share on understanding our precious little babies.
