This is merely the start of your journey! This period is simultaneously joyful, tiring, and overwhelming, and you merit the finest care throughout. You might have been advised to visit your care provider six weeks postpartum, but where can you find support in the meantime? And the questions abound: Is the baby receiving sufficient milk? Does the baby’s stool appear normal? What is the proper way to clean bottles? When will the umbilical cord detach? Why do I find myself crying without cause? Among many other concerns.
