FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 5, 2008 --

Babies don’t come with an instruction manual, so when you become a parent you’re bound to have endless questions about how to care for your new arrival, from the best way to bathe him to how you will know if he is unwell. Luckily, gurgle is here to help! We have answers to the top ten questions new parents ask. We also explain the tests and checks your newborn will have and we provide advice on how to cope with the first few weeks of parenthood. Although parenting is very much about following your natural instincts, we hope to provide you with some much-needed reassurance to put your mind at ease.


It can be frightening for a new parent when unexpected changes are happening to their baby. Fortunately, if these include nappy rash, cradle cap or hair loss, these conditions are very common and are usually nothing to worry about. In Gurgle’s feature ‘Top 10 questions new parents ask’, discover the answers to all your queries, such as whether you’re holding your baby correctly and how to ensure that your little one is receiving enough milk.

Before your baby leaves the hospital he will receive countless tests and checks to ensure that he’s strong and healthy. One of the first checks your baby will have is the Apgar test. This will evaluate your baby’s appearance, pulse, pigmentation, reactions to stimulation and respiratory system. Discover which other tests and checks your baby will receive in the feature ‘Tests and checks for newborn babies’. During these examinations, remember that you should always feel free to ask your doctor questions; you’re the parent and therefore have every right to know what is happening to your baby.


It’s incredibly exciting when you bring your baby home for the first time, but it can also be somewhat daunting as you may feel that you’re very much left to your own devices! Remember that you’re not alone; all new parents feel the same. It’s important not to put too much pressure on yourself and remember that every mum cares for her baby differently. At gurgle, learn how to make life a bit easier with our feature on ‘How to cope with the first few weeks’. We’re here to help; parenting’s meant to be fun, remember!
