As the baby is growing up, the worst thing you can do is say no then change your mind to a yes just so you don't have to deal with the pleading. Be firm, kind and especially loving. Don't expect perfection and let your child be a baby at least until he or she gets to grade 1. Preschool kids are pushed way too much by these new overzealous parents. Don t push reading and writing until grade 2. Let your child play because play is at the heart of learning under the age of 6.

isnt that just the question of the century?? every new mom wants to know how to be a good mom... especially a first time mom... i am and believe me it isnt easy!!! just use your good instincts and do what YOU believe is right and not what everyone around you says is right! you will figure out what works best for you and how YOU want to run things. after all YOU are the mom and what you decide is best for your baby in the end!! remember how we all looked up to out parents?? when they were in the same boat that we were in? they had no clue either, but hey we are ok and so will our kids!!! keep your head up and maintain patience and give lots of love and your baby will be the happiest baby on the block!!

Follow your heart. Your mommy instincts are there you just need to follow them. If you are already worrying about being a good mom, you'll do fine. Just remember no matter what hold your patients and remember that child depends on you having understanding when they cry and are fussy. everything is new. The first six weeks will be the most trying to you, but through every stage, there is an ending and a new stage begins. Enjoy, your new bundle of joy.... Happy holidays

Just take one day at a time and be as natural as your can. Being a good mom come as naturally as loving your child. Go to play groups and see how the other mothers handle difficult situations with their child. The other mothers also offer the best advice and so do the instructors who operate the play group.

baby gurl dont worry, women sre blessed we heve the capability to just be good mothers thats what we do we may not feel ready but from the moment you hold your baby for the first time you just know! with everything you just know!
If it were so easy, everyone would be having kids, you know? It sounds like such a simple question, but it's so complex to answer.
I think the primary thing is to demonstrate your love to your children, make them feel safe, wanted, appreciated, and valued. Remember that you are their mother first, friend second. Share experiences growing up, things you liked or didn't like. Do things together....even the simplest things, like making cookies or having a 'movie night' at home are things that children appreciate and love. Always, always remember that making time for them is the key trust me if you love your child then you will do just find

Put the baby's needs and health first. Make sure you always have food to provide and a warm bed at night. Love your child no matter what. Follow through with punishments AND rewards. Encourage them to go to college even if you can't pay for it yourself. Accept nothing less and nothing more then the best they can do.

By giving all the love you have. Don't think about being a good parent so much just let it flow if you love that child all you can be is a good parent because love will lead u to do all the right things.

best thing.. save up for a house.. kids should have stabilty of living in a house their parents OWN.. not in a rental.. they should have a yard to run and play...
you should stop at 1 kid.. the world is becoming a ver yover crowded and polluted place - global warming is the result of over population as is other things like pollution etc.. in the future it will be worse so if you love your kid you will stop at one so you dont contribute to the problem
seriously experts say you should wait at least 2 years before considering having a second.. and the United Nations warns that human overpopulation will be our undoing.. our downfall...etc
work so that you or the father can be home with the kid rather than it being dumped in day care
dont be a lazy parent - DONT plop your kid infront of the TV so you can do whatever.... DONT put a TV in your van for your kid either....

By be extremely patience and realizing that this is a learning process not only for the baby but for yourself. This child depends solely on you not only for food, clothing and shelter, but for love, comfort and security. The first month is usually the worst for emotions and self doubt of ourselves, but you will be fine and you are going to be a wonderful mother.

Breastfeed (easier for you and better for the baby once you get past the incredibly hard start).
Get your parenting advice from somewhere else. I see way too many incorrect replies on here that just make me cringe.
Follow the queues of your baby. After a month, you will know exactly what he or she wants.
