Note for parents

What’s happening

Welcome to the world, little one. This first month is all about adjusting, for both of you. Your baby can see about 8 to 12 inches away, which is roughly the distance to your face during feeding. They startle at loud sounds and may turn toward your voice, because they've been listening to it for months already. Reflexes are running the show right now: grasping your finger, rooting for milk, and those jerky little arm movements. Tummy time can start, even if it's just a minute or two on your chest.

For you

You just brought a human into the world. Nothing about this is supposed to feel easy yet. If your baby is fed, warm, and held, you're doing it right. That's the whole job for now.
