    About this ebook

    Consider getting help during this time, which can be very hectic and overwhelming. While in the hospital, talk to the experts around you. Many hospitals have feeding specialists or lactation consultants who can help you get started nursing or bottle-feeding. In addition, nurses are a great resource to show you how to hold, burp, change, and care for your baby. For in-home help, you might want to hire a baby nurse or a responsible neighborhood teenager to help you for a short time after the birth. Your doctor or the hospital can be good resources for finding information about in-home help, and might even be able to make a referral to home health agencies. In addition, relatives and friends often want to help. Even if you disagree on certain things, don't dismiss their experience. But if you don't feel up to having guests or you have other concerns, don't feel guilty about placing restrictions on visitors.

      Baby Care Basics

      Baby care basics weren't something I thought about while pregnant. I distinctly remember when I arrived home from the hospital with my first little bundle of joy. It was a sunny but bitterly cold morning in December. We'd spent many hours at the hospital fussing with the car seat and her going home outfit, complete with winter snow suit. I was tired and sore and yet terribly excited. I walked up the three flights of steps with my episiotomy stitches pulling the whole way, anxious to get my baby in my home.

      The funniest thing about the whole day was that once we did finally jump through all the hoops and cross all the hurdles and got home we were perplexed as to what to do next.

      As she sat sleeping in her car seat in the middle of the living room floor, my husband and I debated and finally argued over what to do with her. Should we lay her in her new crib? Should we feed her again? Maybe she should have a change of clothes. Finally she woke up and cried, giving us an opportunity to try out all of our new parenting skills.

      The good news is that taking care of a baby's basics needs, particularly as a newborn, is very simple. I've collected a group of instructions on baby care basics for your new baby from bathing to diapering, from feeding to holding. From these articles you can get a basic sense of baby care of a new baby, whether it's your first or you’re fifth.

      The first few weeks with your newborn will be chaotic. Here are a few tips from experienced parents to help make life easier.

      Here are the big breastfeeding surprises moms reported to us:

      The hormones can be intense

      It's the ultimate paradox. Here's this odd-looking creature sporting a belly-button stump, acne, and peeling skin. He can't even hold a decent conversation, let alone get you a cup of coffee – and yet whenever you nurse him, you're filled with head-over-heels devotion.
