What are some tips for handling visits from friends and family after having a baby?

Set clear boundaries to keep visits safe and comfortable. Limit the number of visitors at one time, ask everyone to wash their hands before holding the baby, and postpone visits if anyone is feeling unwell. It’s okay to ask for help and prioritize rest and bonding as a family.

What is the Newborn 2-Hour Rule?

The '2-hour rule' means feeding your newborn at least every 2 hours, especially in the first few weeks. This helps with healthy weight gain and supports breastfeeding and milk supply. Feeding on demand is also important—not just by the clock.

Is it bad to hold your newborn while they sleep?

No, it’s not bad. Holding your newborn while they sleep can be comforting and helps with bonding. Skin-to-skin contact also helps regulate their temperature and heart rate. However, always place the baby on their back in a firm crib or bassinet to sleep, and never fall asleep with them on a couch or soft surface due to the risk of SIDS.
