Life With a Baby

You have probably been subjected to some teasing from friends and family who have children, about how your life is set to change. Their forewarnings about kissing goodbye to your looks, your sleep, your social life and your sex life are hardly encouraging (but probably meant in good humour!).

Of course, life is going to change a lot when you have a baby, but on the whole - not for the worse. There are aspects that can be challenging, but here we have compiled lots of articles to help you to prepare and to cope with all the normal obstacles involved in your first year with your baby - from questions over relationships and sex, to coping with visitors or choosing childcare. We have also given you advice on taking your baby out and about and on how to keep trips and outings safe and enjoyable for everyone.
