I remember how difficult it was for me when I had my first baby, it was the most amazing experience and also the most terrified one.
My husband and I didn’t know what to do and sometimes I was just sitting crying because it was to much. Thank God we learned a lot with our first one and when the second one came along we were like experts, all ready and we created the most simple handbook for our fellow friends, getting ready to become parents for the first time.

Today I want to share with you our 5 simple steps on how to keep your baby happy all the time, of course these steps are just our experience but, we actually been very successful with our friends and these recommendations.

Clean Diaper: This is the first step, you need to follow when your baby is crying, checking the baby and making sure it doesn’t need a new diaper. And if for some reason you need to change the dirty diaper let me recommend you the Diaper Genie, this is a great way to keep those stinky friends out of the way, this great product is essential for any new mommy, helps you with the task of keeping odors away and all those diapers in one place. I love it so much, and I always tried to share any product that is helpful and necessary to make the life of the mommy and the baby easier.

Burping the Baby: Ok, of course you need to make sure that after feeding your baby, it needs some help to get rid of that nasty gas.

Clothes: Remember, your baby’s temperature is not that same as you, and sometimes he/she cries because is to warm or to cold. So, when choosing the clothes for the baby try it on he/she first and see if the little one is happy and comfy.

Feeding: Babies don’t cry just because they are hungry, and to taste this you can simply put the pacifier in their mouth and see if they grab it, it is very important not to feed your baby every time he/she cries. A healthy baby is a happy baby and to much food, is not good.

Sleep: This is very difficult for the newborn, because they don’t understand that you need to sleep too, so try to make a good schedule. Before putting your baby to sleep follow these steps, make sure they will be happy and ready for another day to come.

So this is our handbook and I really hope you like it. This little piece of paper is going to be present to my friend and her baby with the Diaper Genie I just bought for her which is the perfect gift for any new mom, a real helper for those dirty diapers, I know she is going to have for some time.
