Congratulations, new parents! This journey promises joy, challenges, and endless snuggles. Let's navigate those first precious months with ease.
Latch Perfect: Whether breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, proper latch is key! Consult a lactation consultant or healthcare professional for expert guidance.
Paced Feeding: Take it slow! Let your baby guide the feeding pace to avoid overfeeding and gas.

Sleep Routine Rocks: Establish a consistent bedtime routine – bath, book, lullaby – to signal sleepy time.
Swaddle with Love: Swaddling can mimic the cozy womb, calming newborns and promoting sounder sleep.

Tummy Time: Strengthen those neck and back muscles with daily tummy time! Let your baby explore on their front, supervised, for a few minutes each day.
Sensory Symphony: Engage your baby's senses! Sing, rattle toys, and show them brightly colored objects to stimulate their developing brain.

Don't Stress the Mess: Spills, diapers, and endless laundry are par for the course. Let go of perfection and focus on bonding with your baby.
Rest When You Can: Sleep deprivation is real! Nap when your baby naps, delegate tasks, and accept help from loved ones.

Embrace the snuggles, laugh at the funny faces, and cherish every moment. You're doing a fantastic job!
You know your baby best! Don't hesitate to seek medical advice if you have concerns, but also trust your gut and intuition.
