Bringing your newborn home marks the beginning of a period filled with new experiences – and many questions. How should you prepare your home for your baby? What can you expect from their sleep and feeding patterns during the first weeks? How can you care for and soothe your newborn? What is considered normal, and when should you seek medical advice?
🤝 “The First Days at Home with Your Baby” is an event organised by Next Step for expectant and new parents looking for clear, practical guidance for the first weeks with their newborn.
Together with Dr Raluca Olteanu, Consultant Neonatologist, we will explore the key aspects of a baby’s first month of life – from preparing for your baby’s arrival home and everyday care to sleep, feeding, health and adjusting to a new family routine.
