What are some of the challenges with a new baby?
So here are a few challenges you will face with your newborn baby: - Breastfeeding challenges: This can be a bit difficult because many kids take time to latch on. Even though it is a natural process, you may also face problems with nursing (flat nipples, bodily infections, engorgement, mastitis and low milk supply). - Formula feeding challenges: You have to choose from a whole list of formulas available in the market (advice: ask your doctor). Learn how much they cost and if you can breastfeed. - Sleep challenges: Getting your baby to sleep could be quite challenging. Learn to establish a sleeping routine. If your baby does not sleep, strictly follow and wake-up and sleep time. - Crying challenges: Babies cry for a whole lot of reasons- they are hungry, they are wet, they are not able to sleep, they are teething or are uncomfortable with somebody. You will take a little time to identify the reason, but it is one of the biggest challenges for a new mom. - Your own personal challenges: Lack of sleep, no 'me-time' and little time for your partner are some of the challenges you may face. Do not get overwhelmed though, you will slowly overcome all of these challenges. Take motherhood each day as it comes.

Newborns generally wake up 1 to 2 hours for milk bcoz of their small tummies so that means you have to tend to them. Once their asleep, you have to pump as it is encourage for breastfeeding mums to pump every 2 to 3 hours so increase supply and to avoid engorgement. The very little time you have in between is for laundry (you'll be amaze at the number of changes a baby has in 1 day), house chores, toilet breaks, meals and if you are lucky, 30mins nap. If you have an understanding husband who helps out, good for you. Tag team so that you'll have sufficient rest when he leaves for work. If you don't, you'll find yourself stressed up from the lack of sleep, irritable at the slightest cry of your child, mad at yourself bcoz you can't figure out his cries/can't produce enough supply which leads to mummy guilt. And the most noticable thing, your relationship with your spouse. Your baby will naturally become #1 priority and this will definitely have some sort of effect on your relationship.
