Labor And Delivery Are Over. You Have That Bundle of Joy In Your Arms. Now What?

In the first hours of life a newborn baby experiences so many things for the very first time. As Dr. Greene talks about in his book From First Kicks to First Steps she finally has the opportunity to see the mother whose voice has been keeping her company for so long. He experiences his first breath of air, his first touch, his first kiss, his first gaze. She has her first taste of food. But there are also some unpleasant things a newborn baby will experience.

Understanding the newborn screening tests, figuring out how to bathe your newborn, and getting your newborn to sleep on a relatively regular schedule are all part of the process and Dr. Greene’s Newborns Topic Center is here to help.
