Congratulations on becoming a mom! Can you believe it? A little one has entered your world! How incredible is that? I’m excited to see all the cute moments and updates on your journey—fingers crossed for some behind-the-scenes peeks! I can only imagine how amazing you must feel.
Friendly Tips from One Mom to Another
As you navigate this new chapter, I wanted to share a few friendly tips from one mom to another. First off, while it’s summer, remember that babies are naturally supposed to have that pale, delicate skin. Sure, little Marco might look a bit pasty right now, but there’s no need to rush into self-tanning lotions just yet. Who knows, he might even have a touch of jaundice, which can be a funny story for later!
And about that hair—most babies come into the world with just a few strands. No worries! You’ve got plenty of time to style that adorable baby ‘do we all can’t wait to see!
Now, I know it’s tempting, but steer clear of any strong fragrances for little Marco. He’s likely got that sweet, fresh baby smell that you’ll want to enjoy for a while before introducing any scents. Save the spritzing for when he starts solids and gets a bit more, shall we say, fragrant!
You might be eager to get back to your routine, but remember that postpartum can be messy. It’s totally normal to experience some leakage, so don’t forget those comfy undies! We wouldn’t want you leaving any surprises on your outings in New Jersey, right?
Best of luck on this beautiful journey, Jessie! And just a heads up—breastfeeding isn’t a foolproof method of birth control, so keep that in mind as you settle into motherhood!
Much love,
XOXO
