If you are the proud parent of a newborn baby, then you must have heard of the different models of prams available in the market. Most parents go through hours of discussion, argument and catalogue searching before they can decide on what kind of travel accessory to pick for their babies.

Needless to say, there are many things you should consider very carefully before making your choice. Here are few basics you can keep in mind so that you can wade through all the different models and types to get the pram you need.

Remember that your baby’s age plays a crucial part in determining the most comfortable mode of transport. If your baby is very young and needs to sleep most of the day, then ideally you should be looking for a pram which doubles up as a pushchair, so that you can push your baby along wherever you want to, while it sleeps through the journey peacefully.

These prams are sturdily-built carriages with a large body, and come with a canopy to protect the baby from the sun and rains. Their large wheels help reduce jerks during motion. They are easily foldable, and this enables parents to carry them in commuter trains and buses and store them away in a small space when they are not required.

Earlier prams & pushchairs were heavy carriages, but the modern ones are lightweight and easily manoeuvrable. Being flexible and multipurpose, they save a lot of expense as well.

Children come into this world so innocent. They just want to have fun and just love to explore and find new things out. During this time children should be supported and loved back. If they want to experience something in a certain way, they should be able too. So many times they can appear to mess up and get in all kinds of trouble. Each time they get into trouble they can become withdrawn and not express themselves to the fullest. This is not good; they should be able to do as they choose. There are instances when they do mess up real bad because they could get hurt so they are being protected that way, they just need to be completely aware of what they did and how it can have that type of outcome. The best is when they can come to that conclusion on their own and no one has to tell them. This will give them a huge advantage as they get older and are on their own because solving problems is a skill that we all have to have to some degree or another. Children are free and just the thought of going back to being a child again and experiencing that all over again is enough to make me feel positive inside. Children need love and they need support, they just want to have fun and learn and that is what life is all about.

If you have dogs, then you have a lot more work to do. If you have a little dog then you will have a much easier time training you dog to be ready for the baby. If you have a big dog like mine, who is clumsy, I had my work cut out for me. You need to try to trick the dog, that you already have a baby. Get a baby doll from the store and walk around with it. If you have some friends with babies, you can get a tape of their baby crying, and let the dog hear in occasionally. That way, he wont freak out when the baby starts to cry. Give the dog a good bath and get his nails clipped and have all of his shots. What ever you can do to make the dog safer for the baby is worth it. Get baby gates around where the baby is going to be to keep the dog out…if that is throated that you want to take. Before the baby is home form the hospital, you should take something that the baby has been using like a cloth or a toll home for the dog. Let him smell it and have it so that he gets used to the smell of the baby. This will let the dog know that baby belongs in his house. Don’t hide the baby format he dog. You keeping the baby away and hidden from the dog, will only make him feel more curious and strange about having the baby at home.

Your feelings are tied up in that tiny little preemie bundle, and you have a hard time comprehending this small wrinkled resemblance of a baby attached to every conceivable contraption could belong to you. But when your heart is broken in more places then you could ever dream possible, and waiting seems endless, you are harshly welcomed into the world of parenthood.

It is truly staggering when you consider that an average of 1300 premature babies are born every day in the United States. If you are reading this article, you are probably the parent of one of those preemies. With so many things in this new out of control world of “living” in the NICU, what can you control?

Be There For Your Preemie

For you, the first thing you can control is being there for your preemie. It may seem like you are standing around (in the way) not being helpful, but you are doing an important job. Your voice, your touch, your prayers, and your deep love is something your baby needs and craves as they are trying to get stronger. Your baby can see you, hear you, and/or feel you. You are important and you are needed.

It is just as important that you are there mentally. Everything is so “out of body” and surreal, but you can begin focusing on the essentials of your preemie’s care. Learn about your preemie’s routine, their reactions, and health limitations. Keep yourself informed about everything and you can then notice the small things that are overlooked in you preemie’s care. You can then request that these things be taken care of from a knowledgeable perspective, not just a panicky parent.

Knowledge Is Power

The second, “Knowledge Is Power”. A common saying, but an important one when you consider the fact that you are now your preemie’s cheerleader or coach for the rest of their lives. Begin learning all that you can about your preemie and her specific medical needs now and in the future. Books, articles (like this one), your baby’s doctor, reputable websites, and other experienced preemie parents are wonderful sources of inspiration, information, and education for you.

It may seem very difficult to find the time when you are so stretched, but go slowly when you can find that time and keep at it. Make very small goals for yourself. Remember if you set goals you will get much farther than if you don’t. You can do some of these things in the NICU at your baby’s side.

Look To The Future

Last, look to the future. It may seem silly to plan out what kind of parent you want to be for the next 18 years, but long-term goal setting is a very worthwhile occupation for any parent. Right now as time seems to drag on endlessly, it is difficult to see that time will soon pick up speed and the years will fly by. Practice little things now, like patience, and it will be easier when your preemie is older.

How are you going to react to your preemie when they do something that makes you mad, upset, frustrated, angry, happy, or laugh. How will you discipline and praise your preemie? What kind of people will you let your child be around, and not? Do you have any family traditions you would like to start? What healthy habits do you want to instill in your preemie?

If you keep your mind busy with all of the things you can do for your new preemie, then it is harder to fall into constant anxiety. Try not to worry (though it seems an impossible task) about “will my baby make it”, “what kind of problems will my baby have”, “I can’t do this anymore”, “Is my preemie in pain?”, and whatever else is plaguing you. Stay focused on your goals, and keep your mind out of despair no matter how hard or tempting it may be.

Remember, you are the best parent your preemie could every have and your preemie is depending on you. You can do it if you take one day at a time. At times you may even have to break it down by minutes taking one crisis at a time. But you can forge your way through it all as those who have gone before you.
