I'm very tired and I have to work in the

morning please go to sleep I love you very much but sleep good like the kind

of mom I am hi everybody welcome back to top words my name is Alisha and today

we're gonna be talking about the top 10 phrases to know when having a baby I

don't have any experience in this but let's go quietly so we don't wake the

baby I don't know breastfeed alright the

first word is breastfeed breastfeed means feeding a baby using the milk from

the mother so there's like baby formula which you can give to babies or there's

just natural milk in the mother's milk which is breast milk or what the verb

that we use is to breastfeed a baby so in a sentence many mothers choose to

breastfeed their children in this sentence you're not supposed to drink

alcohol while breastfeeding change a diaper

the next expression is change a diaper change a diaper so diapers are the

pieces of cloth or like the disposable things that babies wear because babies

of course don't have the ability to use the bathroom like a grown human or like

even like children can so babies need diapers so to change a diaper means to

take off a used diaper and put a new clean diaper on a baby in a sentence I

had hoped that I'd never have to change a diaper in my life put on a bib the

next expression is to put on a bib so a bib is any is like a protective cloth

that goes right here so actually it's some restaurants even for adults like

where there's a like a lot of oil or even like rib restaurants I think

sometimes they'll give you like customers a bib but for babies who are

very messy eaters you can put a bib on the baby to protect the baby's clothes

while they eat so in a sentence put on his bib and give him some mashed carrots

change clothes the next expression is change clothes

again of course you can use this for yourself or for adults this is not an

only baby only phrase this is not a baby only phrase so to change clothes if the

baby's clothes are dirty or it's just time to I don't know you just need to

change the baby's clothes you can say let's see like let's change the baby's

clothes so in a sentence after her accident she had to change her clothes

that's a weird out of context sentence sing a lullaby ah the next expression is

singing a lullaby sing a lullaby lullaby is a song that is especially to help a

child go to sleep so they're usually really like quiet soft songs they have

like a nice like soothing sound to them so singing a lullaby is like a classic

way to calm an upset child down so for example it seemed when I was little my

mother used to sing me a lullaby before going to sleep that's true she's saying

the Edelweiss from The Sound of Music my mom used to sing me lullabies that she'd

made up on the spot that's that if I ever become a mom that's gonna be me

like I'm just making up a lullaby oh maybe like go to sleep

I'm really tired I hope you go to sleep now take a nap the next expression is

taken up so take a nap again we can use take a nap for grown humans as well as

children take a nap means to take a short sleep to have a short sleep or you

can say put the baby down for a nap in this case yeah so let's see I'm going to

take a nap and I'll meet you later today he needs to take a nap because he's

grumpy that happens to me sometimes to buy a car seat the next expression is

buy a car seat so a car seat is a special seat that's used to transport

babies safely in vehicles a car seat in a sentence put the baby in his car seat

before we leave surely you can tell I'm not a parent okay this sentence says we

need to buy a car seat before the baby arrives

feed the next word is feed feed just means to give

to someone so you can use feed with like your friends you can use it with your

family members with a baby with a pet even so for example it's important to

feed the baby every day another expression her grandmother fed her today

read a book the next expression is read a book read a book again you can use

this in other situations other than you know baby related situations but to read

a book of course when it's just you reading a book you can say I read a book

or I like to read books that's fine but if you're reading a book and there's a

child listening we use a slightly different expression we say read a book

to the baby so you're reading the book for for the baby but we use we use the

preposition to to read a book to someone to read to someone so in a sentence read

him a book before bed bathe the next expression is bathe bathe so we have to

take a bath to take a shower but we have bathe as well like I bathed in a hot

spring last summer for example it just means like to wash your body or to wash
