Sometimes when you are a new parent you get caught up in a schedule…. feed, wind, change, sleep repeat.
It can be hard to get used to being completely responsible for someone else and to respond to baby when sometimes you’re not getting a response back.
Make mundane tasks fun
A great way to help baby to communicate with you and to get them used to your routine is by talking or singing them through it. This will eventually help with their language skills. And it makes boring tasks a bit more fun for you too.
Here is a video to show how to get baby dressed
I made a video to show parents a way to dress their baby. We learned that routines with song can really help with baby’s language and also to recognise what is going to happen next. It’s like you’re creating a map for them to follow.
Here’s the video:
I hope you found the video on how to get baby dressed useful.

Remember you have just given birth to a human, after growing a human. That is a huge deal even if everyone else is focused on the baby… you need to be gentle and kind with yourself.
So make sure to focus on your recovery and enjoying your little one. Give everything else to someone else, especially when they offer…
Because you deserve it.
