By the time your baby is about six weeks old, life will begin to feel much more settled. There is more predictability and you all have some growth and experience under their belts! These first 40 days, often called the ‘fourth trimester,’ are a time of transition into the daily rhythms of the months to come. Days and nights have become more discernible and feedings methods are usually well established. You and your baby have gotten to know each other. The days and nights that seemed so long and exhausting at first, may soon feel a short time-span in the overall scheme of things. By focusing on one day at a time, prioritizing the needs of you and your baby, and reaching out for help and support as you go along, you can get there more smoothly. Then you can enjoy the equilibrium of this first sweet spot.
