What to Really Expect

• The time after a baby is born can be one of the most joyous

times in the life of anyone or couple, but it can also be one of the most
stressful. This combination of joy and stress has the ability to take its toll

• on new parents.

• discuss:

•  *Your little bundle of J O Y and what to Expect from him or  her


•  *Routines- What is best- for you and your
• baby
•  *Soothing techniques and how to calm your
• baby. Postpartum preparation will not help remove these feelings and
• situations, but it can teach parents how to deal with  them.


•  More than anything else, postpartum preparation will help teach
• parents it is acceptable to have concerns and fears, and it will teach them what
• to expect in the critical days ahead.
