New Born Babies

For most parents, particularly first time parents the majority of the time during pregnancy is focused on the thought of giving birth. When you hold your little bundle of joy in your arms for the first time it is a time of mixed emotions. Your baby is obviously the most beautiful thing in the world regardless of how scrunched or wrinkled they may look to anyone else! Along with the proud parent moment there is also the realisation that this little thing is now about to change the rest of your life and is going to need you for everything and depend on you 100%. Most people find this very daunting to say the least!

Questions arise almost immediately... will I be able to cope? Are my feelings normal? It that normal for a new born? Is my new-born ill not to mention the most asked question - Why won't it stop crying!

To make matters worse, baby blues hit after a couple of days of birth to half of new mums and 15% of new mums get depression. There are large percentages so if it should happen to you you're not alone and you certainly are not a failure. If you have any concerns contact your GP or health visitor, they will be able to help and they will have seen what you are feeling a million times before!

Having a new born is one of the most rewarding, tiring yet amazing things that anyone can imagine. Enjoy it, it is so true - they do grow up so fast!

Any parent knows how annoying and stressful their children's bad behaviour can be, no matter what the circumstances. Fighting with their family, throwing temper tantrums, not doing as they are told and answering back their parents stand for just a small part of behavioural problems in children.

Bedwetting

Don't worry, bedwetting is surprisingly common. Around one in eight children starting primary school today still wet the bed regularly at night. Fortunately there is hope, as bedwetting becomes less common as children get older. Around 5% of 10 year olds (that's one in twenty) and 2% of 12 to 14 year olds (one in fifty) still wet the bed.
