Resources

1

You just gave birth to a baby and 48 hours later you going home with a baby. The first month with your baby will be scary, new, and exciting. It goes quickly so try to enjoy it while you can!
2

This milestone is happening at the same time as the newborn stage. You bring your baby home, and then have to figure out how to feed your baby. Breastfeeding can be very challenging, frustrating, and emotional.
3

Sleep Training is a big milestone and accomplishment. There are a few different methods out there. I would do research and be on the page page with your partner about which method you choose. Do whats best for you and baby!

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding was really difficult for me.
Colic

Your baby crying uncontrollably for hours every day/night for months on end -- it's incredibly hard but you just have to push through.
Getting mobile

You can't turn your head for a second as there's no telling where he'll be.

Mom Meetup Groups

Look for local mothers groups and join one of their meetups.
Personal network of Moms

Create a network of your own girlfriends with children to be able to talk to them about their journey.
