Feel like you are not attached to you newborn as much anymore?
Newborn Care:
-Touch- newborns like to be softly touched so they can feel safe. Massage there arms and legs (helps to wind down)
-Sound- newborns hearing is very good within birth, they prefer high pitch voices, they also like hearing the same book over and over again
-Getting strong- newborns like tummy time (helps strengthen neck and back muscles) Never put your newborn to bed on there tummy.
-Diapers- newborns normally don't like to be wet during the day, so change there diaper every hour or so when needed
