1. You can’t tell the difference between a breastfed and formula-fed baby in kindergarten. Feed your baby in the way that keeps them fed, growing, and you emotionally stable. 2. Postpartum depression doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it is rage, anxiety, or feeling detached. It can happen to anyone, including men. Tell someone and get help early. It is treatable. 3. Safe sleep always wins. Flat, firm surface. No pillows, blankets, or loungers. Every nap. Every night. 4. When they cry, start with the basics: swaddle, shush, sway, side, and suck. Rhythm and comfort from YOU work better than gadgets. 5. Once your baby regains birth weight, let everyone sleep. 6. No water. Babies get all the hydration they need from breast milk or formula. 7. No honey before one. Even in baked goods. It can carry botulism spores. 8. There’s no real schedule in the first month. Feed when they’re hungry. Sleep when they’re tired. 9. Stop comparing. Every baby has their own timeline. 10. Newborns are noisy. Grunts, squeaks, hiccups. Most of it’s normal. 11. Your recovery matters. Rest is part of keeping your baby safe and yourself healthy. 12. Gas drops and “magic” formulas don’t fix normal fussiness. Crying peaks around six weeks, then gets better. It’s development, not failure. But those weeks can feel endless. 13. Spit-up isn’t reflux. If your baby’s gaining weight and not in pain, it’s just laundry. 14. Baby wearing is one of the most effective ways to calm a fussy baby. If that doesn’t work, try wind or water. Go outside or give a warm bath. 15. You’re doing better than you think. You don’t need to be perfect.
