Survive and feed
Sleep when you can, accept every offer of food, and let the washing wait.
What changed, month by month
Sleep when you can, accept every offer of food, and let the washing wait.
Not a schedule, a rhythm. Days start to look a little alike, which is a relief.
Most babies start solids around six months. Ask your clinic when yours is ready.
Crawling, pulling up and getting into every cupboard. Time to lock a few.
Things I would tell a friend
Not rules. Just what I wish I had heard.
No. A safe place to sleep, a car seat, nappies and clothes cover the first weeks. Buy the rest when you know you need it.
Trust the feeling. Phone your clinic or doctor; they would rather hear from you.
In small steps, usually when you have stopped watching for it.
