Setting healthy boundaries for you and baby is okay.

Visitors often mean well, but they can quickly become overwhelming in the early days. As you and your baby recover and learn to feed together, extra company can make it harder to notice cues and find your rhythm.
It’s okay to wait on visitors until you feel more settled, and it’s okay to set boundaries around who visits, when, and for how long.

Did you set rules for visitors in those early days? If so, what did you find most helpful in balancing the desire of others to help and your need for space?

An empty crib is a safer crib.

Baby’s sleep space should include only a tight-fitted sheet and a pacifier without attachments. No pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals, these can increase the risk of suffocation. Keep cords, curtains, and toys out of reach, and never use bumper pads or mesh liners.

Learn more about creating a safe sleep environment at the Safe Sleep Academy - https://safesleepacademy.org/.

"Placing a child for adoption isn’t “giving up.” It’s making a thoughtful choice for your child’s future, even when it hurts. Take a moment to read a birth mom's story.

"Placing a child for adoption isn’t “giving up.” It’s making a thoughtful choice for your child’s future, even when it hurts. There are a lot of emotions involved, love, grief, hope, and sometimes guilt, but support from others can help you heal and move forward. Every adoption story is different. For me, knowing my child is loved and cared for brings comfort, even though I miss them every day. Open adoption allowed me to stay connected in some way, which helped, but everyone’s experience is unique.
If you’re considering adoption or know someone who is, please offer understanding and compassion. Adoption is a lifelong journey, and birth parents deserve respect for the love and courage it takes to make this choice." - Emmah, Birth Mom
