    Chicken Soup for the Soul: New Moms: 101 Inspirational Stories of Joy, Love, and Wonder

    By Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Susan Heim
    416 Pages (Paperback)
    Date Published: March 8, 2011

    ABOUT THE BOOK:

    Becoming a mom is the most amazing event. Chicken Soup for the Soul: New Moms will delight new and expectant moms with its heartwarming and humorous stories about raising babies and toddlers. This book is full of stories by other moms sharing the wonders of early motherhood, from waiting for the baby, to those early weeks and first few years, and everything in between!

    MY THOUGHTS:

    Even though I am not a first time mom, I liked this book.  It is full of great stories about being pregnant, breastfeeding, sleep, doubts, adoption, infertility, toddler years and more!  There really is at least one story that every mom can relate to.  As I have two kids and am pregnant, I forgot things and feelings of having a new baby and I loved reading stories from other moms.  Reading other mom’s stories just make me laugh, smile, feel like I’m not alone and hopefully learn from their strength.  There are some sad stories, but they are real and show strength and courage that only a mother can have!  This book would be great for new moms, a baby shower gift, or even a mom like me who already has kids!

    BUY IT: You can find Chicken Soup for the Soul books at your local bookstore or at Amazon. You can also check out the Chicken Soup for the Soul website for more information and you can even submit your own stories there!

      Enjoy your time with your little one. At times you may wish that they were done with this or that like diapers but when the time actually comes and they start to grow up, you’ll miss those earlier times.

      If a relative comes to stay with you for a few days after your new baby arrives, don’t be afraid to speak up and give them assignments. Let them know what they can really do to help you out.

      My tip would be to take lots of pictures, & to try not to worry if the dishes need to be done etc. Babies grow up so fast!

      Hmm… a tip? For breastfeeding: Around 6 weeks, your baby will go through a growth spurt. Your baby is NOT starving and is getting enough to eat. Don’t supplement with formula or your milk production will not rise enough to keep up. Just figure your little one will be attached to you 24/7 for a while and know it will end sooner than you think!

      New mom tip: Don’t feel guilty about taking care of yourself, get rest, take breaks, and if friends offer to baby sit say YES! and get some time alone, it’ll be better for your baby if you are refreshed. joyedevive(at)gmail(dot)com

      My new mom tip: Google! Many people will tell you to stay away from Google with your questions, but I’ve found that it’s helpful. Most of the time when I do a search for something related to my infant son, I find reliable answers, and I also learn that worries/concerns/paranoias are perfectly normal.

      MANDATORY ENTRY: Oh goodness, I SHOULD NOT be giving out advice to NEW MOM’s. SHOULD NOT!!!!!! I guess my advice would be…once a parent has given their child(ren) a bath, do not take them out the remainder of the day. This will minimize the chances of a child(ren) catching a cold. At least my mom-in-law lives by this philosophy. I don’t so much, but I do it to please her and keep her outta my hair. UGH!…That’s another blog post all together!
