Congrats, motherhood should come naturally nobody is able to tell you how to be a good mum Im afraid. Some people can guide you or offer some advice on how they think things could be donw but it all comes down to you and your other half. As for breast or bottle, you can do both share this time with your baby and bond with your feeds, you can express into a bottle for the night feeds if you want your partner to feel like he is involved and taking part in the whole new baby thing. Otherwise if its more convenient bottle, then I guess relatives can choose to help out too if you feel your a little overwhelmed with the whole new mum and want a few hours sleep.





Wait at least 12 months before you consider looking into your midwifrey course, give yourself and bubs time to adjust to life give yourself the chance to have a routine get some mummy confidence and be able to lean on others to help out when you need time to study. Just remeber they dont stay babies for long. Learn to be paitent she'll be crawling then walking then talking before you know it. Take each day as it comes enjoy the ride.Hiya advice/tips ?? thanks !?
I was 19 when I had my first...don't worry it will all come naturally to you when first hold her... a little help from your mom or someone close to you wouldn't hurt either. Don't be afraid to ask for help those first couple of days or weeks. Also, just do what you think is right for YOU and your family...don't follow trends and listen to every ';study'; that comes out.
personally i think you should breast feed...it is much healthier for the baby and it will help you lose the baby weight easier. if your worried about your husband helping you can pump the breast milk and he can feed her also. i was only 18 and i breast feed. if your nervous dont worry it will come naturally to you. you think of everything as you go. as far as work i would say at least 3 months if not longer. me personally i didnt go back to work for 1 1/2 years. but alot of people go back as soon as 6 weeks. that should be something you discuss with your husband...see what his ideas are.....good luck with your new baby.
