Why do people make a big deal over a newborns birth weight?

Don't worry about a feeding schedule. Your baby will let you know when she is hungry. Newborns and young babies should be fed on demand, not schedule.

The first couple weeks will be hectic. Firstly, you are extremely hormonal and emotional. Secondly, you will have constant visitors and even a mom/mother in law staying with you.

You need to take some deep breaths. Meditate a little and clear your mind. Once you are not so worked up, go get your baby, let whoever is over know that you need "me time/bonding time" and go into your room.

If your mom isn't listening, be honest with her, say "Mom, I am very emotional right now. I just need to spend some one on one bonding time with my baby. You will get plenty of time with her later."

It also helps to get your mom involved in other way. You could get her to run you some baby supply errands - like diapers, or wipes. You don't need to make her your slave but get her involved in stuff involved with the baby.

You will end up learning a lot from your mom and you will look back and be glad you had her around. In the meantime, try to stay calm and collected. There is no reason to start issues with your mom and be aggressive if you don't have to like some of the other answers suggested.

So please, try to be calm, collected, but assertive.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
