1. pooping hurts stool softners help.
2. if u rip or tare or have a c section be very careful and ask for help or get help if ur alone pain medication helps.
3. u will not have time for rest so sleep during ur hospital stay so u wont lose it.
4. babies sleep no more then two to four hours at a time and get a routine going.(ex. every time he wakes up i feed him change his diaper rock him to sleep - gives me time to rest)
5.every time ur baby wake up change their diaper feed them and burp them or ur baby will not stop crying. and if they wake up in like ten minutes after u did all that either see if their diaper is dirty or they still need to burp.
6.COLIC ur worst nightmare pray for ur baby not to have it. if ur baby does goodluck.
7.time every feeding.
8.try not to stress ur baby feels the mood ur in. and its ok to cry. The fourth night i brought my son home i had a nervous breakdown i was sore tore and in paon and he did not stop crying i cried with him i walked away i freaked. out then i called for help i slept a good eight hours and were adjusting. these are just some tips for ftm no one ever told me how hard it really is theres days ur gunna freak out and thats ok ur not the first or the last just keep doing ur thing

Every baby is different! My first was completely different than my second. My first didn't want to sleep three the night until he was over a year old. My second slept threw the night the day we brought him home from the hospital. I had csections and will be having another one in septemeber. They aren't always as bad as everyone thinks. Yes it hurts but comparing the recovery to vaginal is way different! Csection advice , don't skip our medicine and walk as much as you can once you can. Don't push yourself to hard but know your body.

I would add that every baby is different, so these tips are not fool proof, helpful as they are. Some babies do much better being swaddled, some don't. Some do better being in a carrier or held and some don't. Breastfeed if possible. The first two weeks with new baby are usually the hardest, especially if you don't have experience with babies or young kids, but you can get through it.

Very true, but some of us get luck(: the first month for me was a breeze. I had to wake my son up every feeding because he slept so good and he rarely cried. Now he has reflux and never stops crying. Lol. But some people do get super lucky! I have a friend that has yet to hear her child cry for more than 20 minutes and she's 8 months old!!! But these are great tips (:

My mom said also to try and wear a girdle or something to put everything back into place, and keep your skin from staying bloatted and stretched out. Idk how true it is, but she's not gunna let me rest if I'm not wearing one lol
