Guidance you can trust

Feeding

Every 2–3 hours, cluster feeds, and hunger cues — what's normal and when to ask for help.

Sleep

Safe sleep from day one, short wake windows, and surviving the night in shifts.

Development

Reflexes, first focus, tummy time, and the tiny milestones of month one.

The Fourth Trimester

One week at a time

The first month is a blur of feeds, naps, and firsts. Here's what each week brings — and where to start.

Week 1

First days home

The first week at home is a mix of wonder, exhaustion, and learning. Your baby is adjusting to life outside the womb, and you're both figuring out a rhythm together — which takes time.

Week 2

Finding a rhythm

Week 2 often marks a small shift — feeding may start to feel slightly more predictable, and your baby will likely be back to birth weight by now or close to it.

Week 3

Growth spurt

Week 3 often brings a growth spurt — your baby may feed more than usual, seem fussier, and sleep differently. This phase passes, and it's a sign your baby is growing well.

Week 4

One month in

Week 4 marks the end of the first month. Your baby is more alert, feeding is establishing, and you're both finding your rhythm — even if it still feels uncertain.
