Bonding With Your Baby
Your baby’s emotional wellbeing is much more important in the first 12 weeks than establishing a defined routine.
The nurtured approach – when your baby wakes and cries, you respond. If she is hungry you feed her, if she has a dirty nappy you change it.
A routine for a baby under 11 weeks is about responding, not ignoring. Cuddles, closeness and love.
