A parent's reluctance to wake up a slumbering newborn baby is completely understandable. After all, your sweetie looks so peaceful when he's asleep. And considering the amount of time he spends awake and crying, it seems like a crime to not let your sleeping baby lie when you've got the chance. | What to Expect
So you think if you’ve seen one dirty diaper, you’ve seen them all? Far from it. The color and texture of baby poop can change from day to day — and bowel movement to bowel movement — causing even experienced parents to worry about what’s in their baby’s diaper. | What to Expect
The first time you discover a scattering of tiny red bumps on your baby’s sweet bottom, you’re bound to be a little freaked.

If you're planning on breastfeeding, it's normal to be unsure what to expect when it comes to actually nursing your newborn for the first time.

The fact that your breast milk changes throughout a feeding to give your baby exactly what he needs is pretty amazing. But it can also be a source of anxiety if you're worried that the milk's nutritional composition somehow isn't right.| What to Expect
For the most part, bottle-feeding is pretty straightforward: Once you’ve selected the bottle you want to use and filled it up, you just need to find a comfy seat and offer it to your baby. But before you get to this sit-and-feed moment, the formula must be chosen, bought, sometimes prepared and often stored — which means you'll need a bit of know-how before you mix up that very first baby bottle.| What to Expect
