This week, reality sets in – you have a baby! You have a being that's all yours, home with you, and dependent on you for love, care, and feeding. No doubt you've been reading up on what to do and how to do it. We have plenty of articles
and tools
to refresh your memory and teach you new tips, but here's our best advice this week: Don't try to master the art of caring for a baby all at once. Take it easy, take it slow. Your newborn is getting used to you and you're getting used to your baby. Like all good relationships, this one will take some time.
