Less is more when it comes to gadgets for newborns. As they get older, then you will figure out what you need for them but when they are coming home, you only need a few things to get by so don't stress about getting all the right things!

My biggest tip for a new mom is just to relax. It seems impossible at first, but everything will fall into place! In a few months they will be a pro at it! And for moms with toddlers (I am at this stage with my little one now), I would say don't be afraid to put the housework and responsibilities aside and just enjoy your toddler. This is the most fun age! Sit and build blocks, read books, and make messes with sensory play. Enjoy each other! :)

My tip for a new mom is to ask for, and take help, when offered. No harder (or more rewarding) job in the world. Nobody knows everything, it all comes in time.

I don't have a baby of my own but I have lots of nieces, nephews and little cousins and one thing I can say for new moms is, take all the rest you can get. If you're offered help, take it because your nights are going to be filled with lots of breast or bottle feeding. You're going to have lots of late nights so take all the help you can get during the day.

I'm a first time mom myself so I do not have personal advice, but I loved to read the advise above!

For first time mothers I would say, try to enjoy them when they are small because hey don't stay that way long. It will get tough but as my grandmother would say (and I would say this during tough times) " This too shall pass"'

less is more, be PATIENT, do not let them talk back to any adult at any time, do not let them give attitude or smart mouth to anyone it creates bad habit, do not laugh at bad behavior if they think its funny they will continue the bad behavior, always show them love, always hug kiss and tell you love them multiple times a day, keep them safe but don't be creepy about it, punish bad behavior

A new mom shouldn't be afraid to ask for help when she needs it. Also, it is YOUR baby so do what YOU feel is right for the baby. If someone gives you advice on something that's great, but it doesn't always mean they're right. Trust you motherly intuition.

So many amazing things! What a bundle..Tiffany & Madison are the queens of giveaways!

That is an awesome giveaway! So many products! I don't have any kids yet, so I would be lost as to knowing what to buy for a baby haha.

This is incredible! I'd love to win.
My advice is patience...you need lots of it. Lots.

Awwww... I wish I could enter. This looks fabulous and I know of a soon-to-be-mama who would go crazy over this.

Great prize for whoever wins!

Wishing you a lovely day.

Don't go crazy with clothing buying your kids will out grow them before they can wear all of them once, new moms should buy about 8-10 outfits for each stage anything more and it would be a waste.

My best tip is to relax and enjoy your kids - they grow up so fast.

I'm a first time mom myself (due in July) and looking for all the tips I can get!

Don't try to raise the perfect kid.

Advice I wish people would have given me when i was a FTM: Do NOT go all out with pink or blue stuff. You never know what gender your next one will be! I went all out with pink when I had my daughter, and guess what? Now I'm pregnant with a boy, and have nothing. lol oops. =\

Try to slow down. It's busy and it goes by fast even though it doesn't feel like it. Don't be forever looking to the next milestone and miss what's happening right now.

I'm about to be a new mom, so I come to this blog for advice from others for now!

Have patience and sleep when you have the opportunity.

i;m going to be a new mom in October so i guess ill find out! suppose to always prepare with activities and food, keep to a routine

im going to be a new mom in october, i don't have any

Most important is when it gets hard dealing with problems arise (like discipline, or potty training), hang in there, it gets better!

My advice is have patience and lots of it. and enjoy every moment of them being young

My tip is to enjoy and savor every single moment. Every Mom will tell you it flies by, but it's hard to grasp how true it is until you experience it

If it works for you than do it.

Trust your intuition. Ask for help when you need it. Enjoy being a mommy to your very first newborn-there is nothing like your first baby. If you decide to have more you will be so busy with two, its just a different animal.

Have patience with them, cherish every moment they grow up so so fast!

Patience!!!! Lots of it!

I think the best advice is to keep a schedule. It sets a patterned is easy for everyone.

Don't sweat the small stuff and enjoy every moment good and bad. You don't want to let it pass you by because it will go so fast

I had twins and both are little Momma's themselves now and my biggest advice to them was RELAX,take things with ease and trust with all that your heart can muster and you will know what your infant needs.Also, is enjoy each second,each moment,because before you know it,they will be all grown as you are and lastly,get outdoors and enjoy the outdoors!!!

It's been 28 years ago since I had a child so things have changed. Now I am having all sorts of young relatives having babies and would love to win something for one of them. I would tell new mothers to share their stories and get tips from other mothers on ideas that have been tried and worked.

my tip for new parents is to do what you feel is right. try to take everyones advice with a grain of salt. go with your instincts, even if that means going against the grain.

I would say for new parents, sleep when baby sleeps. Toddlers, take time and play with them and dont think the house needs to be clean.

Enjoy everyday they will only be little once. I try to laugh off most of the things my toddler says and does unless he is hurting himself.

my tip for first time mom's is relax and trust yourself. You don't need to listen to all the advice given this is your baby and you will know whats best for you and your child

My tip for a first time mom is relax! Newborns are a lot of work. Housework can wait. You and the baby need to come first.

consistency and patients

I know one tip I appreciated was when people offered to help in some way. You don't know it but whatever they do will help more than you realize. Unless it's a very important event or milestone, that you don't want to miss,let them help :)

Patiance. Learn to relax every moment you have to yourself.

React when your baby first started getting upset. Once they start crying it's much harder to calm them down.

Stay calm. Everything will be okay. Nobody's perfect and you're doing great.

My number one tip for toddlers is: think like a toddler! If it's breakable, they will break it! If the toilet seat is up, they will attempt to flush your expensive jewerly. If it's in reach, they WILL find a way to ruin it ;)

I'm a mom of 3 and I'm still learning! lol Love reading through all of these great tips :) The one I can give would have to be to not push your children into something if they're not ready for it! As moms we get excited about our children hitting their milestones but remember they are only babies once.. cherish this time and love them unconditionally <3

Enjoy every moment don't worry about the small things they grow up so quick one minute a tiny baby then the next in grade school I always heard that but did not realize how true it is.

You must have patience and lots of it!

Just roll with it.

when things get tough just take a quick break and just relax until you are ready to handle things.

Enjoy them being little because they grow up so fast!

I don't have any tips because I"m about to be one myself! Thanks to everyone else for sharing.

This would be awesome

Be very patient, time passes quickly and the phase they are in passes.

Use gripe water! I never knew about Gripe water to treat babies with gas pains or teething but I sware it is like magic and much more gentle then the other products. I use Mothers Bliss.

Always remember to breathe. That one helped me a great deal and still does.
