Caring for a newborn baby, be it your first or fifth, can be a very daunting experience! Even if you’ve done baby classes, the actual experience of bringing this tiny human home and being expected to know exactly what to do is terrifying. (I remember feeling that way even with a level 3 childcare qualification and over a decade of experience with other peoples children – I couldn’t believe they’d let me take this 12 hour old tiny thing home and expected me to just get on with it!)
