How To Be Healthy Parents

While having a baby provides many wonderful experiences, it can also add stress to a relationship. A strong, healthy relationship between parents provides a healthy environment for your baby.

The following are ways the American Academy of Family Physicians suggests parents can keep their relationship strong once baby joins the family:

• Find time to spend together, as well as individual alone time for each of you.
• Schedule date nights at least every other week, if possible.
• Take time to talk to each other about everything you’re feeling, both the good and the bad.
• Disagreements are to be expected, but make sure you handle them respectfully and fairly.
• Listen to each other, and make up after disagreements.
