After Baby is Born
“I remember leaving the hospital – thinking, ‘Wait, are they going to let me just walk off with him? I don’t know beans about babies! I don’t have a license to do this.’ [We're] just amateurs.”

There are important decisions to make about how to keep your new baby healthy after she is born. Choices about nutrition, safe sleep, the home environment, and car seats have major, even life-saving results. Keeping Your Baby Safe contains more information and places to contact for more help. It is important to know when mom’s let-down after the birth is just “baby blues” or something more serious. This can ensure that both mom and baby are emotionally and physically well.
