7. Give to others

It’s the season of forgiving and giving. Hence, purge all the baby items you no longer need and those that your baby no longer uses, like outgrown clothes and toys. Give them to people in need, donate to charity, bring it to the local church, or you could pack them away for the child. In this way, you would show your Christmas caring spirit and make room for more new presents to come.

8. Start a tradition

It is a great time to start a new Christmas tradition with a new baby. You could mould your baby’s footprint or handprint and make it a tradition to do that every Christmas and watch your baby grow. Start wearing matching pyjamas, bake a special cookie, set up a cool playlist, whatever you like, and repeat it annually as a wonderful tradition.

You can put a smile on your face, forget about all your worries and sleepless nights, and enjoy Christmas with your baby and family.
