1. Your baby doesn’t need a schedule — you do. The only “routine” right now is survival. 2. Sleep when the baby sleeps is useless advice if you don’t have support. What you need is consistent help, not just a nap. 3. Stop comparing your baby. There is no prize for the earliest milestone. 4. Your partner can’t read your mind. Tell them what you need — directly. 5. You don’t have to love every minute. That doesn’t make you a bad mom — it makes you human. 6. The baby isn’t broken — the system is. You shouldn’t have to do this alone. 7. Visitors can wait. Healing comes before hosting. 8. Fed, safe, and loved beats perfect every single time. 9. Fussiness is normal. Some babies just need to be held — constantly — and it’s not your fault. 10. Cluster feeding isn’t your milk “not being enough.” It’s how your baby tells your body to make more. 11. Crying is communication, not manipulation. Your newborn literally has no other language yet. 12. You can’t “spoil” a newborn. You’re teaching them the world is safe when you respond. 13. Sometimes the crying won’t stop — and that’s when you need a break, not a solution. 14. Your baby’s nighttime wakeups are biologically normal. It’s your expectations that need sleep training, not them. #newparents #newborn #babynurse
