Congratulations on Baby’s arrival!
The first week of your baby’s life is a whirlwind of activity from labor and birth, and the first days at home. This week you’ll have your first well check between days 3-5, they will be looking at the baby’s weight and how they’re adjusting to life outside of the womb! Make sure you write down any questions you may have, in case you might be too tired to remember to ask!
Sleep is developmental. Your baby can land anywhere on the spectrum of sleep needs, so don’t stress about what’s “normal.”
Baby needs frequently offered feedings and for you to follow their cues, like bringing fingers to their mouth.
Steal all the snuggles–contact is mutually beneficial for the whole family.
Mimicking the womb will help your baby’s transition from womb to world.
