Welcome to the World, Little One!
And Welcome to the club, new parents!! This is the beginning of a new journey, and you’re going through a metamorphosis process in which you are becoming someone else: the parent of your child. We are here to support you and guide you while adapting to your new life, but don’t freak out! One step at a time. It is the most rewarding job in the world!
At this stage, your little one's needs are simple. They just need YOU! Some cuddling time, skin-to-skin contact, milk, diaper change, and a lot of sleep. You've got this!
It is never too early to start interacting with your baby: talk, smile, laugh and sing to your baby while changing diapers and at every opportunity you have during your daily routine. Enjoy the magic of holding your little treasure as much as you can.
All these may seem simple, but in this way, you are connecting with your child and building a secure attachment with him. Secure attachment provides your baby with the best foundation for life: an eagerness to learn, healthy self-awareness, and trust.
So, enjoy the little moments of this stage and sleep when the baby sleeps. Everybody repeats the same. But forget about the dishes, go to sleep! Take care of yourself; your baby needs you to be rested.
