The cutest gift you ever get from God is the baby. With a baby no doubt your life changed fully but in a great positive manner. They are a great responsibility too but sharing your life with a baby is just like multiplying you happiness and joys. No one can understand the feelings of parents when the child gives smiles to them. It’s absolutely normal to feel overwhelmed with the responsibility of the baby as along with the care of the baby you are also going through a lot of hormonal changes and your body also needs a lot of rest to cope up with the entire trauma it has been bearing from the last nine months. But all the things need time, with the passage you will get master in baby care and will also learn to manage time for yourself and for the baby then the life will get smoother.
It’s a great idea when to select a gift for a new baby to give a baby gift hamper loaded with stuff that will help the new mom in the weaning process. As the generic gifts can be given by many and it would make a great gift which would be helpful too. Now when the baby is 6 months and more and you want to start weaning, i.e. slowly reducing the babies dependency on milk and help him to feed from solid foods. A new mom can face many issues and it’s a bit difficult for her to start the process then that gift will make her path a bit easier. There are many other questions that probably hit a new moms mind that what to give a baby, how to give it and many more. So here I will answer all these questions to make this new phase of life easy for you.
The only best thing is to start with a slow pace. It’s not abnormal for a mom to want her baby to eat a bowl full of baby food, and at once grow tall and strong it’s not only the case of a new mom but you also face this situation in life a lot when your mom want you to eat more and more of healthy things. It’s mom’s inner nature. But a baby is small and he need time to understand the taste of foods and master the eating process. More over his stomach need time to get use to the foods slowly. If you will fill him up with food, it has a high probability that the baby do a vomit. Thus it is better that he eats small meal rather than eating large and the spitting up all.
