As a new mom you might feel as if more yawns come out of your mouth than actual words, and we’re here to tell you, it’s completely normal. The fate of fatigue is common for mothers after giving birth and while you wish that energy you once had would magically come back, it will gradually over time. Afterall, your body’s just been through the incredibly physical challenge of childbirth. 

Babies are born with all five senses: hearing, sight, touch, taste and smell. However, some are more developed than others at first. While sight takes longer to develop, others such as hearing, touch, taste and smell are keen from day one. In fact, babies already have an acute sense of hearing in the womb. 

Developing a bond with your baby happens at a different pace for every new mom. This biology of love occurs minutes to months after birth. Mothers might feel guilty when a bond isn’t established right away, but research has found that it takes place over time. If a bond has yet to be established, the most important thing a mom can do is take care of her basic needs. While caregiving is the best way over time to bond with her, here are some other tips to develop that unconditional love and attachment. 

Your baby’s milestones are proud achievements in parenthood. Crawling, walking and talking are some of the biggest moments parents keep in their memories, but before they reach these points, your baby will learn how to sit up on his own. 

A baby shower gift registry is a great way to start planning out the items you’ll need once the baby arrives. As an expecting mother, you might find yourself registering for every item you see for your new little one.  No matter how long your wishlist gets, don’t forget about the items you’ll absolutely need once the baby is born. 

Registering for baby gifts is an exciting experience but with so many products to choose from, the process can get overwhelming. You might have friends and family who give their own detailed input on which brands to trust or what they wished they would have registered for, but you still want to do your own research. Here are some tips to keep in mind as you build your baby registry.  

Modern minimal. Statement Art! Enlarge your favorite photos to monumental scale to create one of a kind décor. Easy Updates – Neutral colors on the wall and floors – use pops of color – mustard gold, warm tumeric

Trend Watch: Rustic Retreat. Neutral colors keep it versatile! Create a Nursery out of a small nook that can later be used as office space. Farmhouse, Woodland or Adventure themes work great with these Neutral colors. Environmental Walls- Easy to apply oversize decals or simple murals are a quick way to transform space. Even consider turning a portion of a room or office in to a “nest nook”
