Check your ego at the door

Advice from mommy Sam:

1. Get the puj tub! Nothing has saved my back more, haha. It's this fold up tub that conforms to your sink so you don't have to bend over a newborn in a big tub. Love it.

2. Even if it gets really tough, you have to keep in mind that it will always get easier. My first was so hard, but it did get easier.

3.don't take it personally if you have a tough baby. It's not because you're a bad mother! Babies are born with their own, separate personality and some are just grumpy. Has nothing to do with you and all you can do is ride it out!

4. Check your ego at the door and accept as much help as possible. The beginning can be rough and you need your strength.
