New mother - new baby

Getting used to your new role as mother: Am I doing it right, is my baby quite normal, Am I normal, ...? Checklist for new moms to get to know their child quickly and 'doing things right'.
Keep baby close to you in the first weeks, no more then a arm's lenth distance and as much as possible in close body contact. - By being close you get to know and love each other soon and learn each others language quickly.
Use instichts and reflexes that are innate for boh mothers and babies. - If baby is lying on his belly, supported all over, his nervous system will work at best and he can use all of his in-born instichts and reflexes to find his food and start dinner all by hinmself; if you are comfortably laid back, you can relax and enjoy working with him.
Baby stomachs are small and mom's milk digests easily. make sure baby can eat frequent small meals; that will make it easy to difest so he will grow well without colick and fuss and your milk supply will be firmly settled.
