The Family baby
Babies
can be a wonderful addition to family life, but they can also cause
disaster.
These ideas can
make your baby experience a good one Insha Allah:
Choose
the right time
This
as we know in all in the hands of Allah (swt). But we can plan for it in
the sense of du'a, doing Salaatul Istikaarah. Asking for a righteous
child, a easy birth, a complete child, one who is cooling to your eye.
Try not to be emotional or impatience and be prepared for set backs if
it doesn't happen straight away. Also to ask Allah to bestow this
wonderful blessings on you at a time that is good for you and your
family Insha Allah.
Choose the right pet
Do
some research about the birth before and after try and find a good
parenting book which is easy to adapt Islaamic Values to. Talk to
families, sisters, friends who already have a baby and get their input.
I didn't research on how to apply discipline and make it work
until I had my second child Alhamdulillah my first one was only two
then, so I had a chance and was save most of the things I see other
sisters go through. The world of Kids is a fascinated one and once you
learn how the operate it will make your job a lot easier Insha Allah. I
was surprised to find there was much I didn't know, things like never
use the word Don't all the time and some times the kids take it to mean
yes if you don't use a follow through, which is so important. Make the
research project your step towards adding a baby to your
family, and along with du'a to Allah to make it a easy one.
Agree to baby care rules
There's
a lot of fun and blessings in having but there's also a lot of
work and it's always more work than you anticipate. Kids under age ten
are not capable of handling baby care on their own. (They have the best
of intentions, but the reality is that they need your help.) It's best
to have a baby care meeting and decide on specific jobs for each family
member, and ask your husband to help. Speak to him before hand and ask
for his co operation on this. Write down jobs on a baby care chart in
very specific terms, and tie jobs into familiar routines to make them
easy. For example, "Empty the baby nappy bin before
dinner." This way, your normal routine acts as a reminder.
Adjust your expectations
Baby
care routines should shift according to your child's age. As your child
grows older, and as his current responsibilities become routine, he
should be expected to take on portions of the baby's care. And as
your family get larger ask your husband to take on greater role in this
Insha Allah he will understand, that you alone can not run a family.
Remember to take the time to teach your child each new job and allow
time for him to learn and become comfortable with the new task. After
that, your job is to have clear expectations and a specific baby care
list that your child can adhere to. With a few gentle reminders your
child will learn much about life by taking care of the baby.

When there is a new addition
to the family is a strange situation on everyone. Babies are special but
if we make them too special the other kids will se it as a rivalry,
which causes problems but if you give them an input they will grow to
love the new comer as see him/her as part of their job not just Mommy's
special little baby, because they are all special Masha Allah. Note:
