Just say no to visitors
The first week after giving birth is a wild and joyous ride. It can also be really stressful and overwhelming. Let's control what we can and just say no to visitors.

A nursery is nice, but what about planning for breastfeeding?

Sure, it's fun picking out colors and choosing all those sweet little details, but shouldn't we put our energy towards learning how to feed our child? Most new parents plan to exclusively breastfeed, but many will stop a lot earlier than they planned.
