Having a baby is hard work, both emotionally and physically. Although you are madly in love with your new baby, you may hit a few low spots in the weeks after her birth. This is normal, given the adjustments that a new mother must make.
Most women can bounce back to cheerfulness after a good night's sleep, or when feeding goes well.
Sleep whenever the baby sleeps. Keep visits from family and friends short. Make sure you have diapers, and enough shirts and sleepers for one to two weeks. Set up the crib or bassinet and the changing table so they are ready when you bring the baby home. Your partner, a friend or relative can do chores like cooking, grocery shopping or laundry.
