Infant crying is normal 💙💜

All newborns cry and get fussy sometimes. It's normal for a baby to cry for 2–3 hours a day for the first 6 weeks. During the first 3 months of life, they cry more than at any other time. New parents often are low on sleep and getting used to life with their little one.

💜 Remember always be kind to yourself, take rest when you can & stay hydrated 💙

Tiny toes, big benefits 👣💛
Massaging your baby’s feet can help them feel calm, relaxed and comforted. It’s a lovely way to bond with your little one, support better sleep, encourage circulation and soothe them when they’re unsettled. Sometimes the smallest touch can bring the biggest comfort.
