You've spent months preparing for a newborn, mentally and physically (and financially!), and suddenly a brand new member of your family has made it into your home!!!  So.... What do we do now?

In this supersized episode, your hosts help navigate the waters of getting your newborn baby (and you!) situated at home.

We talk about things like

-Sleep-wake cycles (or lack thereof, at this point!)

-Expected feeding schedule

-What should my baby be doing, for pooping and peeing?

-The challenges of "safe sleep"

-Finding time to do, well, anything...

-When to see the pediatrician regularly, and when to call for help!

-Weird things newborn babies do

-Is it colic? Is it constipation? Is it none of the above? What is this baby doing?

-The weird noises newborns make when they breathe

...and more!
