What to Expect the First 24 Hours Home with a Newborn

Here is a realistic glimpse into what you can expect the first 24 hours home with a newborn….especially if you have other kids!
Bringing home a new baby is always an adjustment. You worry how the older kids will take it, will your toddler understand, and concerns of being able to give each child the love and the attention wash over you.
As a mom of 5, let me just say, you will have enough love for all of them. I promise you figure it out. It’s also good to remember that each child has different needs.
P.S. I was not moving around like this after the birth of my first. My recoveries have gotten easier with each kid ❤️

Yes yes yes & YES!! I experienced this 6 months ago, I have a 7 year old a 5 year old, a 3 year old, a 1 year old AND A 6 month old. Those first few weeks are crazy, but once everyone gets back into the routine it doesn’t get easier it just gets more manageable. Oh and now we’re expecting baby #6 :) so wish me luck!

“Bc you will get up through the night” 😂😂😂 I think that’s what this fellow mom was saying at the end.

[@Thorinsfriend]

The minute you get home to your kids with your new baby you realise it is going to be fine. It feels like you've always had them. With my last baby born at the very beginning of lockdown it was such a beautiful time in our home. My husband was able to work from home thanks to covid so he was on hand to help out a lot more than before. The kids werent at school. The bonding was so special. I cherish those years. My four children seem so much older now three years later. And we don't plan on having any more so that last precious few months with my kids and a new born will always seem extra special to me.

[@indigoTwilight1967]

One of six here. Grandparents are awesome to have whenever a new baby comes. Not only do they watch over you when Mom and Dad are in the hospital, they can stay longer when baby comes home to help. Cook, clean, bedtime stories...helping you adjust to a whole new person in the house because you're totally not jealous... If you don't have any grandparents to call, reach out to a good friend or family member. The first days are really hard because you have a real, brand new person in the house and Mom is *tired* after delivering baby and building a schedule with baby. Be patient and feel free to reach out to those that love you because they *will* come help you and stay longer of they can.

[@embobbisonembobbison1338]

When my mom had my younger brother, people brought over meals and would offer to watch us even if she was just running to the store. Our house had burned down about 3 months prior so people knew we needed the help but it just helped so much.

[@lilballerina]

I’m 28 and single but I really hope to be a mother one day. It seems like so much work but watching you juggle 4 kids and a newborn is so inspiring. I’m also glad you mentioned taking time for yourself and doing your skin care, etc. Self care is so important especially for new mamas. You can’t pour from an empty cup so I’m glad to see you making time for you.❤️

I know I’m going to come back to your channel when me and my hubby are ready to have kids. It stresses me out to think about but even the small tips in the vids seem doable and realistic. I can’t believe how big your family is & how you can maintain it all! A beautiful family & team!

[@chrissyhorton]

Why thank you so much!! I promise you can do it!! I am an average mom who just learned as I went ❤

[@leilaniz5909]

Well the first rule you should pick up from these channels is to not put your kids on the internet because most images predators use to get off to are the harmless videos and images on the internet publically published by their parents. We're getting back to scrapbooks, ordering prints and getting minors faces off the internet.

[@mads855]

I brought baby number 3 (in 4 years) home this past weekend. So many snuggles and then wanting to touch her face while she's nursing or sleeping 😂 I'm so thankful our church set-up a meal train and I was able to freeze meals before I gave birth. My husband is many things but a chef isn't one of them! Haha congrats on your newest bundle of joy!

[@keepingupwithkennedy2663]

What she was gonna say was you will lay down but be awake the rest of the night either feeding, wondering why they’re crying or checking their breathing when they’re fine and sleeping lol

[@caso6481]

This is ridiculous. You need time for you to heal right after birth. More time in hospital or resting by yourself. You haven't even had a chance to clear the anaesthetic! No wonder maternal mortality rates are high in your country.

[@smose41]

If you look into the cause of maternial mortality rates in the US its those women who 1) dont attend doctors appointments like they are suppose to, 2) dont follow the things the doctors tell them such as eliminate caffeine and salt from your diet when you have high blood pressure, 3) they refuse to take the meds prescribed to them, and most importantly 4) they will not attend post birth appointments.

By the time I got into my hospital room I was sitting on her head. In 2 pushes she was out. It's so amazing how horrible the pain can be but as soon as you see them it all melts away. You got this mama!

Tips for getting baby to sleep better? My 3 week old will wake up when I lay her down even after I've nursed her.

[@rb2k196]

Routine, routine, ROUTINE! Trust me, following the same routine that you do at bedtime as well as nap-time and when they wake during the night will help give your baby the cues they need to go to sleep once down (obviously your routine will be unique to you and adapt as you see fit). Having a warm, dim light source that you turn on only at bedtime will help with that routine. Try to avoid nursing to sleep if you can - it creates the wrong stimuli for sleep as they'll think that's what's the cue for sleeping, even if they're not hungry. Obviously, feed at the appropriate intervals but try not to let her sleep while doing so. Putting your baby down when they're drowsy BUT NOT ASLEEP will also help with that because their body is in the process of falling asleep so they're less likely to be awoken by movements during sleep, I.e. putting them down, and being able to see that they're falling asleep in the same environment as they wake up in less disorientating for them
