       The wonder weeks
       there are various names for them, but basically there is a list
       of which days your child will be easy to handle and which days
       unfortunately you will be tearing your hair out.
       if i'd know this before day 5 I wouldn't have been wanting to
       hunt out the receipt and send him back. I never forget that
       moment of thinking maybe we would never cope if every night was
       suddnedly be like this. Once I knew you then got up days as well
       it all improved

       Things don't always go to plan, when it comes to labour and
       birth. Don't worry if it's not how wished, but do be proactive
       about what you want and believe in, question practice you are
       unhappy with or unsure of, and seek out support.

       Wish I'd have known about these baby cues when Z was a newborn!

       Skip to the 4th minute for the bit with the cues themselves.

       I wish I'd known she could come 3 months early then I might have
       packed a hospital bag!!!
       But other than that... I wish I'd known to trust my own
       instincts - especially on the unit.  Nobody knows your baby like
       you do - there's an instinctive bond and mum is the best person
       to recognise when a baby is in discomfort.  A recent study I've
       been privy too showed that nurses and doctors have no more idea
       than mum when a baby needs attention.

       think someone needs to show most of the doctors and nurses this
