Most parents bond
instantly with their babies, an intense feeling that makes
you want to hold and love and protect them. For some
parents, this can take a little longer, especially if there
has been a difficult pregnancy or labour.
When
bringing home your new baby, there are so many things to do
in order to get ready. Making your home a safe haven for
your new little one is one of the most important things you
will do to get ready.
The
first week of your baby's life brings big adjustments for both
of you. You are adjusting to being a mother and caring for your
baby and your baby is adjusting to life outside the womb.
