To all those one month - two month old moms, it gets better, it gets easier.

The booby problems.

The restless long crazy hair pulling nights and days.

The chaos of not knowing or understanding.

The fear. Oh the constant fear.

It gets better. A week from now. A day or two baby will start to sleep longer. Take more naps.

Be more reactive or vocal. Yesterday is not the same as today and neither will tomorrow.

Listen to your gut, listen to your doctor.

Read (or listen to) books not studies.

Find the information that’s been collected, analyzed and weeded through by credible sources.

Talk to other moms one on one when you can.

Be proud of yourself.

Being a mom is a hard task.

It is work. It takes time and effort.

It’s not a dog or a pet of any kid, it’s a human with a brain constantly making connections.

You can’t always walk away.

You can’t always sit down.

If you find yourself more and more frustrated and feeling guilty for it, stop momma, you are just a human trying to raise another one the beat way you know how. So of course it’s frustrating, it’s a puzzle with no instructions.

Sing.

Be goofy.

Kisses.

Tickle.

Talk about what you’re doing.

Bring baby along.

Smile often.

Laugh when you can.

Read to them.

Play with them.

Stand them up.

Roll them over.

Show them a mirror.

Show them their feet and hands.

Nothing more you can do but keep that baby close, learning and happy.

Absolutely nothing else is needed but you mom.

So give yourself some credit for your work.

Baby’s have no rules, no tools and no direction.

So have fun with it.

Have fun with your creation.

It is after all your best art work.
