THINGS PARENTS WITH NEWBORNS SHOULD KNOW
New parents should be prepared for a significant change in lifestyle and a lot of sleep deprivation as newborns require frequent feeding and attention. Prioritizing rest, seeking support from loved ones, and understanding that breastfeeding may not be easy are crucial for managing the challenges of early parenthood. Additionally, ensuring safe sleep practices and fostering bonding with the baby are essential for both the baby's and the parents s well-being.
Sleep Deprivation is Real! Newborns feed frequently, often every 2-3 hours, disrupting sleep patterns. Take advantage of the baby's naps to rest as well. Consider rotating sleep duties with a partner or other family members to ensure adequate rest for everyone.
