FAQs about Baby's First Christmas
If this is the first time you’re going to be around a baby for the holiday season, it is natural for you to feel nervous about making everything perfect! I have searched the world wide web for some of the most frequently asked questions surrounding the concept of your first Christmas with a baby under one.
How do you Celebrate with a Baby?
The holiday season looks different with a child. Things may need to wind down earlier, and family members may have to be quiet at more times than before. That said, how to celebrate baby’s first Christmas doesn’t need to be an overthought thing. Babies are natural adaptors. The entire first few years of their lives is adjusting to being alive in the environment in which they have been born into. As long as you take things slow and don’t shove them into things too quickly, they should take very little time to adjust to where they are. My Baby’s Heartbeat Bear gives 13 great ways to celebrate baby’s first holiday season without going over the top.
How much do you spend? How many gifts do you give?
How many gifts for baby’s first Christmas? Honestly, I have grown up hearing lots of different opinions on this. Ramsey solutions gives a great breakdown on how to handle holiday budgeting. In my personal opinion, baby’s first Christmas should be more about traditions than about the baby itself. It honestly may be more practical to shill out for a nicer stoller or highchair during this time (sales!) than for tons of gifts the child will outgrow in just a few months.
Get a picture with Santa. Read some Christmas stories. Take pictures of the baby with their grandparents. Buy an ornament with their birth year to commemorate their first holiday. These are all things that will last forever in your young one’s life.
Baby's First Christmas Outfit
I want to start out by reminding you that, odds are, your baby will only fit into this outfit this one time. So, unless you are planning on having other children, this outfit will only be worn once. I have rounded up some of my favorites that are high quality and holiday ready. In the round up, from traditional to overalls to hats and everything in between.
