Congratulations on your exciting new journey into motherhood! Can you believe it? A little one has entered your life. How incredible is that? I’m eagerly looking forward to hearing all about your experiences, and perhaps even getting a glimpse of those precious moments!
As you embark on this adventure, I imagine you’re feeling a whirlwind of emotions—love, joy, and maybe a touch of overwhelm. While you navigate these early days, here are a few friendly pieces of advice from one mom to another.
Embrace the Baby’s Natural Look
First off, it’s summer, but keep in mind that babies are naturally supposed to have that pale, soft skin. I know little Max might look a bit ghostly, but there’s no rush to introduce him to self-tanners just yet! Who knows, maybe he’ll even have a little jaundice—bonus points for that!
Hair Care for Newborns
And let’s talk about hair. Most newborns don’t have a full head of hair, so no worries there. You’ll have plenty of time to style that adorable little tuft we’re all excited to see!
Fragrance Caution
Now, about fragrances—while it might be tempting to explore the world of baby colognes, resist the urge for now. He probably has that delightful baby scent all on his own, and you can save the spritzing for when he starts eating solids!
Be Prepared for Messy Moments
I know you just gave birth, but something tells me you’ll be back on your feet in no time. Just a heads up: you might experience some messy moments, so don’t forget to wear those undies! It would definitely be an embarrassing situation to leave a trace of your recent experience around town.
Best of luck, Bella! And remember, while breastfeeding is a beautiful bonding experience, it’s not a foolproof birth control method, so keep that in mind!
