As most mothers know the first week is definitely the hardest time for first time mums... well even for mums who have had previous children too sometimes.. You don't know what to expect exactly, and you don't know what your baby is like, or any of his different cries.. You kinda feel like you know what to do but at the same time you don't really know what to do.. My advice is to follow your instincts and stay calm. The first night at home Xavier was quite unsettled being in a brand new environment.. If you don't stay calm then your baby can sense the tenseness in your body language.
I personally found it hard not to stress out.. I knew what to do, but it was like my mind all of a sudden went blank, I also stressed about Xavier not being able to latch on and Breastfeed.
I spent the first two nights in the hospital trying soo hard to get him feeding, but it just wouldn't work. I would have rather breastfed but the bottle is quite convenient as anyone can feed him when I'm over tired. Xavier was born with a bit of Jaundice (which we got rid of with a little sunlight) and conjunctivitis which keeps coming back. He is the most perfect baby ever!!
You do get stressed and tired when you have a baby... But its totally worth it.
I'm so blessed to have such a gorgeous baby, and i thank god for him every single day!!
