How to organize the first few days at home with the newborn

Returning home after giving birth is a special and delicate moment. It's normal to feel happy but also tired, lost or overwhelmed. It does not mean “not being up to par”: it is a phase of adaptation that requires time and kindness to yourself.Practical tips to make the first days more manageable: - Accept practical help (cooking, shopping, tidying up the house) so you can focus on yourself and your baby girl.- Sleep will be fragmented: take advantage of the moments when the newborn sleeps to rest too.- Visit calmly. It is legitimate to postpone or limit visits in the first few days: you need time and peace of mind to find a new balance.- Organize what you need. Keep everything ready for change and breastfeeding, prepare simple meals in advance and save useful numbers (midwife, pediatrician, office) .- Follow the newborn's rhythm. There is no 'right' time: learning to observe and respond to their needs is the key to a more serene routine.
