🍼 Top 5 Things to Know About a Newborn 👶
New to parenting? Here are the essentials every new parent should know:
1. Newborns Sleep—a Lot (but Not All at Once) 😴
Expect 14–17 hours of sleep a day, but in short bursts. It’s normal (and exhausting)!
2. Feeding Feels Constant 🍼
Whether breastfeeding or formula feeding, newborns eat every 2–3 hours. It’s how they grow!
3. Crying Is Their Language 😢
Crying = hunger, gas, tiredness, or just needing a cuddle. You’ll learn their cues fast.
4. They Can’t Regulate Temperature Well 🌡️
Dress them in one more layer than you’re wearing—and keep those tiny feet warm!
5. Bonding Matters More Than Perfection ❤️
Snuggle, talk, sing, and just be there. Your love builds their world.
