The First Week Visit: Nice to Meet You

Next Visit

RECAP:

Sleeping

Newborns need more sleep time than awake time. Keep feedings and diaper changes quiet and brief at night.

​

Eating

Feed your baby every 2-3 hours.

​

Connecting

Cuddle skin-to-skin, talk, sing, and read to your baby.

​

Safety: Safe Sleep

Your baby is safest sleeping on their back in an empty crib or bassinet.
