[quote=Anonymous]DH and I LOVED the newborn stage. We'd just sit and stare at how amazing and beautiful they were (they were actually not good looking newborns). We took so many picnics and the newborn would just lay snoozing on the blanket. It's actually one of the best times ever to get out and see people/shop/do things (pre covid times), because they get more difficult.

There were some hairy times, like the 3rd night when baby wouldn't nurse but was so hungry and breastfeeding was painful. I wish I'd had a bit of formula for that night, but we powered through and everything got so easy. There was a lack of sleep, but no pain (other than nipple pain that was helped by APNO). Recovery was pretty easy.

My 2 maternity leaves were definitely some of the best times in my entire life. Pregnant now and I know it will be a whole different experience with covid :( No moms groups, no fitness classes with moms, no stroller strides, no afternoons at wineries, no relatives, and no babymoon. I had 2 incredible babymoons where we went to Africa and the Middle East- not happening now.

My tips would be to be calm (lots of anxious moms at moms groups and I think their anxiety made it harder) and to read lots and lots of newborn and newborn sleep books. [/quote]
