As a new parent Part-2

4. Have a baby memory book, a baby how-to book and a notebook ready and accessible. You can fill in, find out and make notes whenever you have a spare minute.

5. Plan on relaxing your housekeeping standards the first year after baby's arrival. Focus on the baby's and your needs. Aside from basic clothes washing and meals, the house can wait.

6. Develop a feeding "system." If nursing, have a small bag filled with the essentials: small pillow, blanket, bottle of water, cloth, which you can grab at a moment's notice when baby is hungry.

7. Make lists. It only takes a moment to jot down errands to run, items to buy and things to do. The next time someone offers to help, you'll know exactly what needs to be done (and maybe if they see the list, they'll help even more).
