There abundant information on how to take care of your baby. Here are some easy-to-follow babycare tips to try.

1. Babies read body signals. During feedings, take a deep breath and
   then noticeably relax your belly, your shoulders and your arms, and see
   if baby relaxes, too.
2. Always carry a large, lightweight blanket with you on outings. Use
   it to cover your whole chest, baby and all, when feeding baby in public
   places.
3. Buy a large, insulated mug at a truck stop and equip it with a
   straw. Fix ice water in the morning and then use it all day to supply
   needed liquid to yourself at the same time you're feeding baby.
4. Use a six-pack carton to hold baby's bottles upright in the
   refrigerator.
5. Keep pads of paper and pens around the house for writing down
   questions you want to ask your baby's pediatrician next time you call.
6. Install a dimmer switch in baby's room so you'll have low light at
   night without waking the baby.
7. Frame colorful illustrations from children's books, or pictures of
   animals from old National Geographic magazines, and use them to decorate
   baby's nursery wall. Mirrors are great, too. A thrift store is a good
   place to find them.
8. Keep a tape player and earphones next to your favorite feeding chair
   to play your favorite tapes while baby feeds. That way you're both
   entertained.
9. Trick your body into thinking it's night time by getting undressed,
   turning off the ringer on the telephone, and closing the blinds so you can
   nap during the day when baby's asleep.
10. For sleeping, put baby face up, with his/her feet against the end of
    the crib, and then tuck a small blanket under the mattress so it stops
    at baby's chest. That will keep baby from suffocating in bedding while
    keeping him warm. Better yet, dress baby in a sleeper that encloses the
    feet and don't use a blanket at all.
11. Folding baby's diapers and garments takes time and energy. For the
    time being, store baby's clean diapers and clothes unfolded in a
    colorful clothes baskets.
12. Turn the bedroom clock to the wall so you won't know you're up for
    
    the third time in the night and its only 3:45 a.m. When you get up in
    the morning, pretend you've had a full night's sleep.
13. Call a nearby high school and ask the guidance counselor to help
    you find a reliable teen to hire for doing laundry and other chores one
    or two afternoons a week.
14. Double the size of the meals you're fixing, and freeze what you can
    for later.
15. Fix dinner in the morning when your energy is high and refrigerate
    it until time for rewarming.
16. For maximum, sustained energy, snack high on the food chain: dried
    and fresh fruits, nuts, cheeses and cottage cheese, fruit shakes made
    with yogurt and fresh fruit, raw carrots, broccoli, peanut butter on
    stone ground wheat crackers or bread, oatmeal with raisins and apples.
    It helps to fix snacks ahead so you can grab them whenever hunger hits.
17. NEVER wake up a baby to change a wet diaper!
18. Practice changing your baby's diapers in your lap. Protect your lap
    with a waterproof pad or folded towel with baby's head at your knees,
    tail at your belly.  Learning this skill is convenient when you're
    visiting friends or "out in the world" with no place to change baby.
19. If you find you're depressed and weary, force yourself to go for a
    long walk with baby. Just fresh air and getting out of the house can
    work wonders.
20. Hang a book of inspirational sayings on the toilet roll holder for
    a mid-day pick up.
21. Keep an index card file for self praise at the end of each day.
    Record all the little things you've done to take care of your baby,
    yourself and your family and date it. You'll be surprised at how it all
    adds up!
22. Take mini-rests wherever you find yourself. Lie down on the kitchen
    floor,  under the dining room table, on the couch and tell your body to
    relax all over.
23. Don't plan any major trips for the first six months after baby's
    born. Its just too exhausting. Ask your relatives to come see you
    instead, and encourage them to help with meals, housework and other
    chores.
24. Make a list of all the housework chores and then divvy them up with
    your partner. Create a checklist for the refrigerator, so each person can
    keep tabs of completions.
25. Get your partner to trade off who gets to sleep late on Saturday
    and Sunday. Even if the baby gets brought to you for feeding, at least
    you don't have to awaken yourself fully.
