Common FAQ’s about a newborn’s first few weeks 👶 As prepared as you may have been, there are many questions that arise when faced with your first days as a parent or caregiver. Some common questions are covered below👇 💫 Is the first week with a newborn the hardest? Countless people find the first week with a newborn a challenge. Despite being high on love for your new baby, there are many factors at play which dictate how you cope with the first week. Hormones can play a part. The lack of a baby manual certainly doesn’t help, but mostly it is a time when both you and baby are getting to know each other, and figuring out your new life together. The duality of joy and confusion can make you feel unsettled and so can an overwhelming amount of information and advice. Try to have your own experience and be ok with each moment as it comes. Perhaps you might have a great first week, there’s nothing to say you won’t, but also be kind to yourself if you’re finding it tough because you’re certainly not alone. 💫 How do I get through the first week of my newborn? Getting through the first week with a newborn is very much the ‘one foot in front of the other’ approach. Respond to what you see in front of you. Your baby is hardwired to provide you with cues when they want to be fed and will likely sleep a lot during the first few days. Things like cluster feeding can be physically demanding. Try to take rest when you can and always reach out to trusted family and friends if you’re feeling unsure about something or unable to cope. If you need additional support, connect with a trusted service such as your GP or child health nurse. ⭐ for more hints and tips visit our Sleep Library 📚 CLICK the link in bio to our website 👆 🎥 - @smervekutlu #lovetodream
