[quote=Anonymous]OP, do as much research as you can about the newborn period, and share some of that information with your stepdaughter ahead of time. Let her know that the baby nurses every three hours 24-7, that new moms have a wicked hormone crash the first couple of weeks, that the baby won't smile for 6 to 8 weeks. Tell her how long it will be before you can travel with the baby and the concerns about germs. Don't let this be a surprise, make a plan for the newborn period so she is informed and knows what to expect.[/quote]
