The effect of a baby on our lives is staggering. New parents gaze in wonder at this new life they have created, grandparents regress seems to become years younger and friends seem to call around more. From the moment they make their entrance into this big, wide world babies bring with them love that many didn’t know existed. Women who have never wanted their own children often find themselves feeling broody and it’s surprising how many childless people of both sexes will suddenly offer their services as a babysitter.With the progress made in fertility treatments, there are a lot more multiple births than there used to be. These are looked at in different ways, twins for example can be classed as ‘double trouble’ but we are all fascinated by these little people who are mirror images of each other. Non identical capsiplex twins may not look the same, but we will wonder at their temperaments and expressions. Twins, triplets etc can be particularly hard on the new parent and the help offered will more often than not be accepted gratefully.Grandparents are a vital part of any baby’s life. They will want to see this little miracle at any opportunity, but many new parents have been heard to bemoan this fact, that they never get a moment to themselves. Finding a happy balance is the key, be there when needed but don’t try and take over. Many Grandmothers will tut and feel that they should tell the mother that they are doing it wrong, well bite your tongue Granny! This can have a bad psychological effect on the Mom, she will begin to doubt her ability and with all those post pregnancy hormones raging you could find your self cut out.
