Baby might be sleeping through the night by now! If she isn’t sleeping through the night yet, don’t despair - all babies get to this (wonderful) stage at their own pace. She’ll also soon be able to bear weight on her feet and push down with her legs. During tummy time, you may see her attempts to push herself up, often using her head. These are her first baby steps (excuse the pun) toward walking!
To-do:
Create an emergency info sheet
Stay in touch with friends
Keep up with baby’s activities
[tip] Breastmilk can last up to eight days in a refrigerator, so you might want to consider pumping in advance — it’s a great way to take pressure off your boobs!
