Episode Synopsis

Plan For POST Birth…
Not Just Birth…

When I was pregnant with my first baby, I spent a LOT of time learning about pregnancy and birth.

Some on Google…

But I also read a few books about pregnancy and childbirth.

I am SO glad I did that.

It was very helpful to learn what was normal and what to expect…

BUT

I wish I had spent more time learning about what to do POST birth.

How to take care of a newborn…
What to expect and what is normal with feeding…
Breastfeeding in general…
How to soothe a crying baby…
How to help my baby develop good sleep habits…
What development leaps do they go through during those first few months…
What is normal for doctor’s appointments…

I did not have a lot of time after my baby was born the focus on these things…
So I wish I would have spent some time learning about post birth BEFORE my baby was born.
