What’s your general advice during my maternity stay?

Take this time to know your baby, don’t be afraid to touch your baby, support her oversized head and weak neck. Give in to your fatigue and get plenty of rest. Do ask for paracetamol six-hourly for general pain and discomfort. Take your refreshments and meals. Don’t be afraid to ask for assistance. Don’t consent to discharge until you are feeling confident with your breastfeeding competence.
