Baby Tips

If you're expecting a baby or already learning to live with one, you'll love the Pregnancy and Baby Tips above.

Early on in your pregnancy, you'll start feeling very sleepy during the day. Elevated levels of progesterone, a female hormone that helps regulate your reproductive cycle, are responsible for your sudden craving for a nap. This natural chemical flooding your body can make a normal day at work seem as taxing as running a marathon; you may be so worn out that you think you're coming down with the flu. On the brighter side, some experts believe levels of sleep-inducing progesterone soar to make sure you get all the rest your body needs to sustain a healthy pregnancy (ironic, since other changes in your body are keeping you from falling asleep). Remember that the hours you spend in bed rarely equal the hours you actually sleep, so grab a quick snooze if you need or want one.

BABY

Leave Detailed Instructions for the Sitter

When you leave your child with someone else, make sure that person knows what you expect. A checklist can be a helpful reminder. Be sure to include details on what and when to feed your baby, when to put him to bed and what bedtime rituals you consider essential, which medications need to be taken, etc. To make things easier for you both, we've put together a childcare planner at BabyCenter.com. Fill it out according to your preferences, and print the finished product for your caregiver. Consider this a starting point in your discussion with your caregiver, and update it as needed.
