About the Newborn
Babies don’t come with instruction manuals
You’re the top expert on your baby, you just need to know what you don’t know.
A lot of parents have wondered if their baby was… normal. Why do they make that sound? Is it ok for them to look like that? Is that what they’re supposed to be doing? What am I supposed to be doing?
That sweet squishy potato of a baby you have is probably just fine and while your child’s pediatrician is probably waiting by the phone hoping you’ll call again to describe the color of the contents of your baby’s diaper (they love hearing all about it, promise), there is a lot that is completely normal and exactly what your baby is supposed to be doing that you may not know. How often they need to feed and why, the sounds they make, and why they seem to only be able to sleep in your arms are just some examples of what we talk about here.
