Saving money

• Saving money here and there will be a help while your child grows

• Using hand-me downs from a family member can help save extra money

Protect against germs

Finding a doctor

• Make sure you feel comfortable with him/her because they will be your baby’s doctor

• Consider recommendations from friends and family on pediatricians they used

Take advice

• Talk to other mothers who have been through it all before

• You can learn from experiences they had and that will prepare you

• Make sure you talk with your partner as well to make sure you both are on the same page

Have a help group

• Make sure you talk to family, friends, and neighbors about potentially helping watch your baby if you need some help

• Take a nap because you will lose sleep during the night

Plan work leave
