Heading Home With Your Newborn

    View: 
Every parent can tell you, when you bring that new baby home from the hospital, you are in ultimate defense mode, ready to attack the first fly or dust particle that comes near that precious child. You are constantly on alert for every little sound, or any little thing that might harm or disturb your baby, especially if this is your first child. While this is natural, and good, you shouldn't really have to feel this way while you are in your own home. You should take steps to make certain that your home is a safe and secure place for your baby, so that you don't have to worry yourself into a frazzle all of the time. Keeping your children safe should be on the top of your priority list, whether they are teenagers or newborns, it doesn't matter. With newborns, there are several things that you can do to help ensure their safety while they are at home.



One of the first things you can do may not make you very popular, but is necessary. If you or your spouse have friends or family members who smoke, drink, or abuse drugs, you should not let them be around your baby, or at least not while they are impaired. If someone who smokes comes to your home, make certain that they understand that if they must smoke while they are there, they must do it outside, and that they must wash their hands before holding your child. You will hear all kinds of stories and reasons of why this is ridiculous, but it really is in your child's best interest. You definitely don't want someone who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol around your new baby, as you never know what might happen.

Get in the habit of locking your doors when you come home, even if you live in the country. You never know who may come in, when you are asleep, in the bathroom, etc. Purchase baby safety devices to place around your home, monitors, cabinet latches, baby gates, outlet plugs, etc. This will make certain your baby stays safe when he or she gets old enough to move around and explore. It is a good idea when baby proofing your home, for you to get down on the baby's level, so that you can see everything he or she sees, and then add or make any changes necessary. Make sure that pools, balconies, garage doors, and basement doors are locked at all times, so that your baby can't get in there when he or she is alone, and potentially get hurt in some way.

If you have pets, it might be a good idea to give them away when the baby is born, or at least move them from inside to outside of the home. You never really know what an animal is capable of, even one that you have raised. A baby is an easy target, and could get severely injured by a pet before you can do anything about it.

Make certain that your baby's crib meets all safety standards, and that you don't leave toys or blankets in the crib with the baby, as these could cause suffocation. Rather than wrap your baby in blankets to sleep, add an extra layer of clothing, or bump up the heat in the room.

If you choose to buy a walker for your baby, extra precautions are necessary, especially around stairways. You also need to be aware that they baby can reach a lot higher while in the walker, so you will have to watch out for items that may be on the stove, or that are placed around the room.

Keeping your home safe for your children is not always an easy task, especially when they reach toddler age. The extra work is well worth it, and there are more things that should be done other than what is listed in this article. For more information, talk to your pediatrician about home safety, or do some research online or at your local library.
Heading Home With Your Newborn
Juggling out of home work schedules with a newborn might seem tricky, but working form home with a new born can be even worse. You might not be prepared for the challenges that will come with your work at home position and your newborn. Many people get into the work at home arena because they want to stay home with their children. This can work perfectly for you if you are able to get past the challenges that will come with your newborn.

First of all, remember that your new born should be your number one priority. This doesn't mean that you have to give up your work, or even that it needs to change that much. It simply means that you will need to rearrange some things in order to be have your child as your first priority.

Next, forget about that perfect schedule that you have so carefully crafted for yourself when it comes to working at home. You probably have a good reason to have the schedule that you do, but forget about it. Your newborn is going to change everything about the way that your business is run, so drop the idea that you can have the same schedule you have always had.

The first real step in figuring out how to run your business with a newborn is evaluating the type of help that you are going to be getting. Do you have a partner who will be taking care of your child for at least some of the day? If so, what is their work schedule? See if you can find a few hours when they are not working that you can devote entirely to work. This might be the couple of hours after they get home from work, and it might even be the small amount of time before they go to work in the morning. See what type of accommodations you can make in this way. Then, focus all of the things that you need to do without any interruptions, such as calling or emailing clients, doing your books, or other tasks during those few hours. Even if you only get a few hours per week in this way, you will be able to get more done than you might think.

Next, remember that nap time is soon going to be your dream time. When your baby is napping, you have the time that you need to pick up the house, get things organized, and do work with your home business. This can be a great time for being online, contacting customers, or even meeting with clients if you have a home office. Just make sure that you've got a good baby monitor so you can keep an ear out for the little one at the same time.

Lastly, set up an area in your home office for your baby. This should be a great area where they can sit and play and enjoy your company. Remember that newborns don't always have to be entertained - they just need to be near you. They won't know if you are talking on the phone to a client, they will think that you are talking to them. Make eye contact with them, rock them ,and be with them while you work. With a little scheduling and practice, you can still have your home business, with a newborn!
