    ACKNOWLEDGE THE OTHER CHANGES

    Most moms think kidnappers lurk behind every corner. You are not alone if you are convinced that every stranger who gives your baby a sideways glance is secretly forming a plot to snatch the baby out of your arms and make a run for it. After all, news reports are chock full of disturbing stories about babies being stolen and otherwise mistreated by strangers and acquaintances alike. Here is what you need to recognize: Not everyone is out to steal your baby. Instances of babies being kidnapped by strangers are rare. These things just don't happen on a regular basis. Having said that, it is okay to have a certain level of apprehension about the people you encounter throughout the day. Just don't put yourself and your baby into situations that would encourage someone to get the idea in their head to take your baby. Don't leave your baby in the stroller at one end of the aisle in the store while you stroll to the other side to check out something on the shelf. Don't allow your baby to crawl around a playground without your direct supervision. Don't even think about leaving your baby in the car while you run in to pay for gas. If you keep your baby out of risky situations, then it is unlikely that you will ever run into trouble.

    Most moms check to make sure the baby is breathing. How many times do you go into your baby's room at night to check to make sure that his or her chest is still rising and falling? How loud do you keep the intercom in your room…loud enough to actually hear your baby's breathing? You are certainly not alone in these practices. Many a mom has suddenly awoke from a deep sleep and dashed into the baby's room to make sure the baby is okay. If you have already experienced your baby finally sleeping through the night, you are probably familiar with the sudden dread that you initially feel when you realize you haven't heard from your baby all night (which is, of course, immediately replaced with elation and pride when you realize your baby has just slept through the night). The truth is, you will probably check to make sure your child is breathing at night long into their teen years…the frequency just slows down and you may be able to get away with only doing it once in a while. It's perfectly normal to check on your baby while he or she is sleeping, but you just have to make sure that you don't allow it to become something that stops you from getting a good night's sleep because you're so busy constantly checking on your baby's breathing.

    Most moms think their babies are amazing. If you think your baby is extraordinarily beautiful, you're not alone. If you think your baby is gifted, you're not alone. If you think your baby is the most clever/cute/magnificent baby to ever live on this Earth, you're not alone. Most moms think their babies are the alpha and omega of clever/cute/magnificent babies. This is for good reason: most babies are indeed incredibly cute, and most babies continually amaze their parents on a daily (if not hourly) basis. Is your baby extraordinarily beautiful or gifted? Maybe. Before you start signing your baby up for beauty pageants or IQ testing, however, recognize the need for your baby to just be a baby for a while. Sure, your baby may be gorgeous, but do you want to bring your child up thinking that looks are all that matter? Yes, your baby might be gifted, but at this age you may want to concentrate more on teaching your baby how to socialize than how to speak Japanese. You are not alone in thinking that your baby is fantastic and unparalleled in the baby population. The trick is to bring up your child in a grounded manner and not raise him or her to actually think that he or she is above everyone else…even if you always think so.
