And when the day comes when you decide to open that box or that drawer, they resurface emotions, smiles, tears, and as in a film, the most beautiful scenes that we had forgotten to have lived pass before our eyes. Our drawers tell our story.



The first bath

The moment in which the first bath is taken is very exciting for parents and for the little one. It is generally recommended to wait until the umbilical stump has fallen out before bathing the baby at home. This is because the umbilical stump it has to dry out and by wetting it it takes longer before it falls out.

But when it comes time for the first bath, you will certainly be ready ... even with a camera or video camera to capture this moment.



The first meeting with the little dog

But with the right attention, the meeting between the child and the dog can certainly be special. And growing up together with the dog, our baby will be able to have a 4-legged friend who will never abandon him.

The first smile

Our baby's first smile can make us "melt". In front of a smile all the tiredness is forgotten. Even if the night does not make us sleep, even if the day always wants to be in our arms, even if we don't even have time to take a long and relaxing shower, a simple smile is enough to make us forget everything. They say that the first smiles, made with awareness, are not there before 2 months, but who has never seen a smile from their baby after a few weeks? It matters little if, for the experts, it is just an involuntary reflex, for the mother it is the most beautiful thing in the world.

His adoring gaze

As our baby looks at us, nobody looks at us. We are the first to watch babies with one adoring look and seeing that they reciprocate us is a unique emotion. After birth, the newborn still does not clearly see the world around him. It is as if he is shortsighted and can only see clearly to one distance of about 20/25 cm from his face. But this is enough, because it is the distance between his face and that of the mother who is breastfeeding him. So the newborn sees his mother well and her adoring gaze is really true.

How to transport the little one in the car? The important thing is that the child is carried in an approved car seat or carrycot, to ensure his safety in the car.

The first time he covers himself

In the early days, the baby does not move much by himself in the crib. He often stays in the position where we put him to sleep. But when he begins to turn around, cover himself up or uncover himself, every mom instantly understands that her little one is growing up. And the emotion rises.

We manage to stay for hours next to his cradle looking at him without getting bored. Seeing this little baby sleeping and knowing that he is ours is one of the first emotions for a mother. A real miracle of life that has come true. And we don't want to lose sight of him even for a moment, even when he is asleep.

Hands touching

The baby was born recently. We hold it in our arms and caress it. He (or she) squeezes a finger with his whole little hand. A simple gesture that for us becomes the most beautiful moment since we became mothers. A gesture full of meaning for us and full of affection. In that movement is represented all the love that binds us to the child and all his trust in us. Our baby has become our whole world and we are his world. Emotions that are never forgotten and that they will regret when they grow up and may not want to show these gestures of affection so as not to seem small.
