In today'sCareer girlVeterinary continuing education onlinenews, I look back on some of my hope in my motherhood journey life skills to learn much earlier.As an efficient veterinary, I before I only children prepare as much as possible.For those who understand the Myers Briggs personality - score, I am quite a high "J" (for example, the anus retention), so I think for the baby things organized as possible.Boy, if I was very surprised.

I didn't find?Professional veterinary mother life tips # (AD).So here, professional veterinary parents 5 life tips (yes, this applies to your dad).

1. Don't loose the infant in the evening.
I read all the parenting books and baby as soon as possible to prepare as much as possible.But some lies no one told you that I will now share the two biggest lie.First of all, "skin for skin".Is it true?Don't you think your baby will naturally connect with you?You don't need in the night will take off from the pajamas and baby while breastfeeding infant - without having to change diapers.Throughout the year.All of them.During the period.This. 夜晚。 那就是我正在做的。 最大限度地贴合皮肤，解开襁褓，母乳喂养，换尿布，然后重新包裹......现在我有了一个完全清醒的婴儿。 （顺便说一句，这The addthisMerlin pajamasIs a must!.In I do 6 weeks later, my mother group teachers for our whole new mother Shouting."No," she answered."With a large number of baby diaper rash cream, turn off the lights and feeding, let him fall asleep under the milk coma."You won't read it in any baby book.

2. Introduction of pacifier can be 30 days ago.
Ah,The pacifier. All the books say baby nipple confusion, will appear in a month to give them a pacifier.I learned that all of my mom friend introduced a pacifier after 2 days...In the hospital.I positively rules, I waited for a minute, but regret not start earlier!The long night...Why not tell me start early!

3. To prepare as much as possible.
At least one month before the baby is born, I as far as possible in advance.Ordered in advance all the dog food.Add all their supplies in the full.The oil change Settings Amazon Prime subscription and save.Store food pantry as much as possible.All bills on automatic payment.getGarbage robotBecause you don't have the time to dig.And arumbaBecause you don't have time to vacuum.As far as possible automation.Find out as working mothers need most 10 pieces of baby products.Because you really don't have the time in the first few months...To a few years.Really.

4. Learn to let go.
The sooner you learn to let go of your expectations, the easier it is for you to become parents.For you think you can finish the work in during maternity leave have low expectations even expectations, just enjoy this time.I am after cesarean section 2 weeks one of the "to-do" list?Feed the cat and cram cotton swabs.And let the child alive.

4. Learn how to deal with multiple tasks.
As a veterinary professionals, you may know how to handle multiple tasks very well.But that's why I created VETgirl actually, there is the number one online veterinary continuing education (CE) platform.Because as a working mom, you might not be able to attend a year CE veterinary meeting.When your child lying in bed, you can through a smartphone, tablet, or computer in the home have all CE is comfortable.So, you can learn, obtain CE, exercise, and walking up and down in baby wear at home, trying to get your baby to sleep.

5. To join mom group.
If there are such people in your area, then join a team of mother is worth it.Usually, this is to begin at about 5 to 6 weeks (for your newborn).I found this to be the perfect way to contact with some women, I can be sent via text messages to their urgent problems, the relationship between the general support, vent (for 12 weeks before it is very difficult for you and your partner) and general advice.I finally established strong relationships with some moms, their kids continue to be our playmate!

As a working parent is tough.Hope these tips help.If in doubt, please seek support.Because parenting is hard!Any tips or advice?The weighing!

    Give up hope is huge!You have such an idea in the heart, the time spent with the baby at home will be a wonderful peace, but no one really to tell you that the first few weeks it's too difficult!When you return to work, adjust expectations become more important.I spent a lot of time to feel like I'm a bad mother and a bad vet, because I didn't do it all.Now I focus on my good at things, are all positive people around me.I am a great mother and a great veterinarians.We are a great people, doing amazing things < 3
