I am sure that you already know that breast-milk has the best nutritional value for your child. Not a single formula can provide your baby with what your body can.

I read about postpartum hair loss due to hormone changes in women's body, I always hoped that it would be not as bad as some woman describe it. I hoped for the best but prepared to worst, so here is what I did to help my hair get stronger and grow faster:

Cradle cap foam shampoo for newborns by Mustela
Anti cradle cap foam shampoo by Mustela works for us. My daughter did not have too much cradle flakes but it might be because we were only using Foam Shampoo for newborns by Mustela for over 9 months now.

Cloth Books
One of the best gifts for children and their parents are books. Cloth books are a perfect gift for babies as early as 6 months old. Why cloth books are a must in your baby's life:

First week with your newborn baby at home!
Dear mamas and papas,
Here are few things that I think you need to know about your first week with your baby at home. I personally think that it is not hard to have one baby. My husband could only take few days off work and we have no family in town.

3. Extremely absorbent, has an extra layer of absorbency than an average diaper.

Pacifiers
Here is what I know about pacifiers:
1. Before you give your baby a pacifier for the first time make sure you boil it for 1-2 minutes.
2. If the pacifier is scratched or there is a crack you need to get a new pacifier.
3. It is best if you have a couple of pacifiers in your diaper bag as well as few around the house.

Follow your heart and not the schedule!
I decided to breastfeed our baby on demand relying on doctor Benjamin Spock who says that babies always know how much and when they need to eat. Sometimes Sasha would eat every hour and other times she was not hungry for over three hours. I always trusted my baby!

Bubble Bath 3-9 Months
1. A bath tub with back support, your baby must sit in a 45 degree angle. You cannot sit your baby until she sits on her own, it puts too much pressure on her back, she will be sitting once her body is ready. Do not fill the tub higher than the baby's shoulder line when lying in a 45 degree angle (see image for reference).

Never Wake the Baby Up
We never woke our baby up! Every single book on child's care will have a sleeping chart and for the first two month babies must sleep 18-20 hours a day.
Nestum Cereal by Nestlé
Nestum is a great baby cereal! Dear moms, I suggest you give this cereal a try, and I am more than sure that you will like it as much as I do!

Baby Bottles by Tommee Tippee
Tommee Tippee are great baby bottles! Here is why I use them:
1. The wide neck is so wide even the table spoon goes through the neck, it facilitates mixing baby cereal and other foods.
2. The wide and somewhat flat nipple is comfortable for my baby. The shape of the nipples looks similar to breasts shape thus it imitates breastfeeding experience, it even touches baby's face and nose the same way it does during nursing.

Breastfeeding - Don'ts & Limits
My food guide during nursing period:
Limit:
1. Citrus Fruits (oranges,lemons, etc) - too much citrus might upset your baby's stomach, as well as allergy possibility.
2. Tropic Fruits (mango, papaya, etc.) if you did not grew up eating exotic/tropical fruits you should limit them, baby might be allergic.

Do not swaddle.
We did not swaddle our baby, I think it slows down their development. Yes, your baby will be waking herself up because she will be bothered by the movements of her own hands, but soon she will get to know her hands and learn to control them or at least not to wake up to their touch.
