Whats the best advice you can give to a young mother?

i want to be the best mom i can and i am trying to find all about mothering that i can before i give birth.Whats the best advice you can give to a young mother?
You will need patience and a lot of it. You have to be understanding too. Every mom has their own parenting style and you'll find yours soon. I also recommend The Baby Book by William Sears as someone else also suggested. It's a great book! I think one of the most important things is that a parents needs unconditional love for their child. I think in most cases it's a given.Whats the best advice you can give to a young mother?
I think its better to ask, what advice is best for a new mom. Don't act like your age matters if you truly believe it doesnt for the job description.





Also, just look at some moms you admire and chat with them. Also the library is great, often has a lot of the bestselling parenting books, even some are on DVD.
I think the best advice I have having been a young parent is to create a schedule and try to stick to it. Of course for the first few months you will have to adapt to the baby's schedule but you can try to keep feedings on schedule then if nothing else. Once the baby is bigger try to keep everything on a schedule. It keeps them comforted and you sane. lol. Good luck to you!
You are going to get TONS and TONS of advice from people telling you what you should be doing with your little one...but just remember this is YOUR baby not everyone elses..you have to do whats best for you and your baby not everyone else...Keep sane! Try not to get too overwhelmed..you will at times feel like its too hard but remember you are doing the best you can for your baby...GO with your own feelings you know your baby better than anyone else...being a mom is not a walk in the park...ITS HARD but women have been doing it for thousands of years!! Get sleep when you can...Let your baby cry for a bit so that you can take a shower!!
You are human, you will make mistakes. No mom has ever been perfect and the very best thing you can give a baby/child is love and support. Keep your baby safe and love your baby and everything else will work out. When it seems overwhelming, have a phrase you repeat to yourself that helps you refocus that this too shall pass. The days seem to crawl by, but then all of a sudden you realize that years have passed!
the most important thing is to set your ground rules and boundaries early on. for example:


1) you little girl/boy begins to cry for what seems like no reason (you changed the diaper, fed,burped, cleaned, rocked,played with...) and he/she is still crying.this would either be colic,(call you doctor and he/she will tell you what to do about that) or the baby is testing you. if this is the case you just have to let him/her cry and cry. this will she that they wont get a bunch of attention and being held just by crying. do the same thing as the child gets older. when they cry for something they want,dont give in! it is hard and can be painful due to constant screams, but if you give in that will she that she/he can cry to get everything they want! good luck and many parts of motherhood are instinctive as soon as you see the baby's little face
yeah..dont listen to the negative the best way to raise a child is the way that you were raised.. if that was a good way and if you dont think so then thats even more reason to raise the child better because you want the child to have a better life..its of course a responsibility but it shouldnt stop you from doing what you want to do in life that should jus give you the edge to continue and push forward because you kno you have someone to look after..
work on your relationship always - it's important for your child to grow up seeing how a normal healthy relationship works. also, be loving, accepting and encouraging of your child, but don't be too permissive or overprotective. let some things go - choose your battles, and teach them to respect themselves and other people.
This was my bible for my first baby. I read it every single day. The Baby Book by William Sears.





But the biggest thing about being a mom is finding your own style. You'll be fine. CONGRATS!
You will receive uunsolicited advice from everyone, down to the supermarket line... so be patient and remember that everyone makes mistakes and learns on the job.





Good luck and congrats
