Toddlers are fascinated with books especially those that have vivid and colorful visual prints and images. Engage her to browse at these books while you go on to read to her the adventures of little duckling or the classic Pinocchio. Remember, even though your toddler is too young to completely comprehend an entire story, this is a stepping stone in stimulating his imagination.
Attentive toddlers would have lots of “why’s” while you are reading books to her. If you get tired of the constant why’s, don’t simply fall back on “That’s just the way it is” or “Because I said so.” Instead, try to deflect them by asking her what she thinks. Her answer may amuse you, but mommy, try not to laugh at him/her. His/Her mind is really working in amazing ways as your toddler puts together what information she has about the world with a toddler’s fertile imagination. If you truly don’t know the answer, tell her the two of you can journey of finding it out together.
Great idea to ponder on, huh!
New Mom, don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it, from friends, family, support groups or a professional. It will be better for you and your child.
If you need a break, take some time out with your partner or a friend.
Get some exercise. Even 10 minutes a day will help.
Let yourself fall in love with your baby, of course. Every baby needs someone who is madly in love with her.
If you can, sleep or rest when your baby does. Keep away from Facebook. It will just waste your time.
Prioritize household tasks. Let some of the low priority ones go for a while and, when possible, delegate some to others.
Go with the flow in the journey of being a mommy. It's hard but don't let it control your head. Forget schedules and efficiency. Your baby is generally not predictable and you can’t work on the rest of the world’s timetable when you have got a new born.
Enjoy your baby today, don’t wish these early months away.
Give yourself time to adjust. Nobody knows how to do everything for her baby overnight.
Remember the newborn phase is short. Don’t draw conclusions based on this brief period. Eventually, you would get a full night’s sleep again.
I saw and read this in one of the interesting people in Facebook. And sure enough interesting people share interesting articles and this is one of it below (by the way, it has been said it is very much a pleasure of him to share it to everyone, so no further ado, am also sharing it here. It's up to your great intelligence to dig-up the rest of the this tip given):
Let's say it's 6.15pm and you're going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!!
NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE..
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.
A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.
A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.
The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital..

It's interesting for me as I have a heart baby. One day I could share this to her. What about you?
