Hi there, you don't say how old the infant is Having the energy to keep going when looking after a newborn baby. Lack of sleep. How to cope when baby cries and you can't figure out what is wrong. Keeping a toddler occupied - they seem to have endless energy. Good Luck Eileen The main one is the lack of time, money and sheer physical energy to do everything you want to do, need to do or think you should do. You just have to do the best you can and remember it usually works out ok. In the early months it's the lack of sleep I found hardest to deal with. They invariably have perfect timing, they will sleep all day while you are running around doing chores, then the moment you finish and sit down for a rest they will wake up and demand attention. They will wake you up needing to be fed then just as you are falling asleep again they wake you up for a new diaper. As they get older keeping them entertained can be difficult. We're lucky in that we have twins so they can play together when you are busy. Top tips: To send a baby to sleep - stroke their nose from the top to the bottom, particularly between the eyes.

To stop crying, distract them - many times I took ours into the garden at 3am. A crying baby doesn't sound so bad outdoors. Regards Colin

Compare caring for your eggs to realities of caring for a human infant?

that egg is not that really heave as the infant. when i go different places i need to bring my egg with me just like the real baby. the egg is like a real infant because when they have crack you can just fix it just like the real baby when they have wound. if we are not going to fix them the it's get hard to fix. we need to take good care of our egg just like the real infant. it's our responsibilities to take care of our own egg just like when we have an infant. it is better to take care of our own egg and our own baby. do not listen to them of what they say about your baby like for example " you can put your baby for adoption. This is totally wrong for your baby.
