Ideas to stop yourself going crazy when yo have a new baby:

• Remember to keep your sense of humour and trust your own instincts
• Try to get involved in groups where you will meet other new mums
• Forget about being a domestic goddess. Spend more time with your children and less time hovering
• Make the most of your child’s early years as are over all too quickly
• Never refuse an offer of help. If a friend or neighbour offers help, accept graciously
• Treat yourself if you are feeling sluggish or fed up, this may lift your spirits and get you through the day
