Tip#2: Try to drink 6 to 8 glasses of water per day.
Water is responsible for carrying nutrients through your blood to your baby. Water also helps prevent bladder infections. By drinking enough water, your urine will stay diluted, reducing your risk of infection. Drinking enough water prevents dehydration. This is especially important in the third trimester when dehydration can actually cause contractions that can trigger preterm labor.

Tip#2: Camera - You won't want to miss out on priceless pictures of your new
baby. If you are not using a digital camera, be sure to pack a few extra
rolls of film. You may also want to bring a video camera with an extra
battery pack.
Baby Tip:
Here is your next tip on caring for your baby's skin.
Tip #2: Heat rash - in hot weather (or with an overdressed baby) you willsometimes notice on your baby's neck, chest, scalp and/or back tiny raised
red bumps on a red patch. This is a skin condition called heat rash and
occurs since the baby's pores at this age don't work properly yet . Try a
cool bath and comfortable clothing to make the baby more comfortable.

great tips. I had no idea about anything with my first. I guess you learn as you go along! There was so much to remember lol
hi yes we learn as we go. But if any experience person give u advise, listen and look out for it. Cos it is normally 95% accurate.
Also remember to bring a blanket to take your little one home from the hospital. We forgot to bring one and had to run to Target to pick one up. The hospital doesn't allow their "branded" blankets out of the hospital to eliminate anyone attempting to leave with a baby that doesn't belong to them.
Definite must for the camera batteries! I ended up staying longer than expected in hospital, so having new batteries in the camera PLUS having spares is important! Also re: the clothing and skin. Supposedly a lot of clothes and cloth items have formaldehyde used on them to make them "sit" well. Yes, the stuff they use on dead people! That's why it's such a good idea to wash everything first.
My son had cradle crap and I found that brushing it often and applying coconut oil helped correct the problem
