Congratulations! At last, the long wait is over. Your baby, the little one you've eagerly been expecting for nine months, give or take, is finally here. As you hold this tiny, warm, sweet smelling bundle in your arms for the very first time, you're probably already in love. But you're also probably wondering what to expect from your newborn.
Your baby's development will be a work in progress, but she'll be making progress surprisingly quickly in the month ahead. In fact, she'll probably have some serious skills right from day one, like being able to lift her head briefly when on her tummy. Remember, tummy time should always be supervised time, and it's so much more fun on your tummy or chest.
How about some face time? Your baby will love focusing on your face as much as you love gazing at hers. The sound of your voice will be both familiar, your little one has heard it for months now, and super comforting. It will also encourage baby to start making sounds of her own, like the sweet coo you may hear by the end of the first month.
Your baby, like most babies, is probably a born sucker, which comes in handy at feeding times. He may even have figured out how to deliver those teeny fingers to that teeny mouth for further sucking satisfaction.
It may seem that your baby has little on her mind besides eating and sleeping, and of course pooping. But look more closely and you'll see your newborn actually has six states of mind.
When baby's quiet alert, motor activity is suppressed so he can spend all his energy watching and listening. You can think of this as his secret agent mode, super stealth. When she's active alert, her arms are moving and her legs are kicking. She wants to focus more on objects and less on people, taking in the big picture.
A baby's best-known state, of course, is crying, which your newborn will do when he's hungry, gassy, uncomfortable, bored, or just needs a cuddle. The other three states? Drowsy, those super cute, glazed over, milk-induced coma moments when nodding off. Quiet sleep, when baby's eyelids are shut tight and that usually wriggly body is still. And active sleep, aka REM or dream sleep, when baby will seem restless as she rests, her eyes darting under closed lids, her arms and legs on the move, her tiny mouth sucking, pouting or even, hold on to your heart, smiling.
Are you still feeling like a newborn newbie? Not to worry - by month's end, you'll feel like a seasoned pro in the baby game, at least compared to today. And each month I'll be here to support you, and to answer some of the questions you're bound to have along this incredible, magical, memorable first year of your baby's life. But first things first: here's to a happy first month!
I just had my first child. She's one month old. What a joy she is! It;s worth the lack of sleep! lol I'm a dad.
I cant wait. My wife is having our child this friday and I'm so excited to be a father :).

@@jonathancruz8854 I'm going to be a father in the upcoming December if Allah wants. Pray for my baby and my wife, brother. May Allah bless your kid and your family
@@s.m.aminulhaque9926 its the greatest feeling :). And I will pray :)

Omgosh!! Congrats! He is the best thing to ever happen to me! I can't believe I love him so much!
Same girl same 🙌🏽we are so lucky and blessed i dont remember life before her lol
My sun was born the first of march, I’m a new dad! Thanks for the info, can never have too much information on caring for our beautiful tiny humans! And to any new dads out there, we can do it guys keep pushin & let’s give our children the best life ever!
Your "sun" lol
was it a boy or a girl?
@@KellySmunt303 a girl
You can clearly see that he was trying to spell son
@@sherilynfranklin8054 LMAOOOOO
And that's how the solar system was birthed ladies n gentleman!
It's 4:04am right now......up right now with my 4 day old son.
How are you doing ? I’m on day 4 now as well and it’s really hard for me right now
@@cameront5474The first 3 months were tough. Lots of sleep deprivation, scared that he wasn't breathing, scared im going to drop him etc. The way i got through those days was not to focus on the full day. Focus on getting from bottle to bottle. The days will add up. He's 8 months old and he is awesome!!!!!
@@papasmurf441 man you’re awesome thank you for the quick reply, so happy for you thank you ❤️❤️
@@papasmurf441 praise God
My wife 10 weeks with our 1st and I can’t wait
The newborn phase goes by so quickly, so enjoy it ❣️🚼
Oh I intend to...I dont care what no one says
Even though its hard to wake up during night time. Im enjoying every bit of it
My daughter is almost a week old, minus the lack of sleep I'm trying to enjoy every second
I don't know, my baby is four weeks and I find her just fine, nothing special. Lack of sleep sucks. Really looking forward to when she becomes more interactive and bigger!
@@szamszatan how are you now? Hope you’re well.
I followed you throughout my entire pregnancy! Thank you for your warm support!
My baby is one month today 10/1/21 and he is already doing things like he is two or three months. I’m trying to enjoy it because it goes so fast. My oldest is six and I miss these times
Thank you so much.
God bless you.
You've been there with me throughout my entire pregnancy and now baby's a month old.
My baby will be a week old tomorrow. It’s a labor of love and I’d do it over and over again :))
It’s fun but boy am I sleepy all the time
This was so needed, thank you so much! It makes the upcoming first month seem much less daunting.
26 wks
Time is flying
I can’t wait to hold my baby
Bask in your pregnancy. Even on days that are hard. I couldn’t wait for my baby to be born. And before I knew it she was here (9/28/2020). And man it was a wake up call. I no longer felt her in my womb which made me sad, the baby blues are REAL! So be aware, fatigue, body aches and pains. It goes from 0-100 quick.
Me too
I think I'm 4 to 5 weeks pregnant, calling an obgyn to make an appointment in the morning. I'm so lucky I'm capable of having a baby. I'm 28 and thought it just wasn't going to happen for me. But God truly heard every prayer and I suppose the last one I prayed about he heard loud and clear lol bc that pregnancy test read results INSTANTLY. Didn't even take a minute! FYI it was also a dollar store test, given the fact I was already 11 days late for my period so it worked for me, the more expensive tests I was told just cost more bc they are capable of telling you a week earlier than a regular cheap test. But I went to the dr the next day to double check bc tbh I was skeptical bc of how cheap the test was, but it made no difference in the result in the end. Woohoo!
My baby girl is 2 weeks old. Your videos are very good
It's been a happy first month, indeed.
I love this.my baby is one month old and I enjoy every bit of it.Happy new mother

Tragic 😂
I have a Son. Is this still to be expected with HIM?? HE and I are really confused.
So in active sleep the baby will be restless??? No wonder... I was thinking my baby is not getting active sleep at all
My baby is 1 week old I keep pumping. It I want the baby to drink milk from the breast but doesn’t prefers bottle pls advise how to sort it

I never realized the restless sleep is their REM cycle!
Is there anyone here tired with burping? My boy is 3 weeks old...it is with so much love that I burp him though.
Needed this lol
As soon as she said sweet smelling bundle of joy. My baby farted :/
Am I the only 18 year old guy here?😂😂 fyi: I AM NOT A DAD
I just have newborn, he month hold. He only cries when I hold him and doesn’t when everyone else hold him. Is their a way to correct that
My one was born 8 march 2024. He looks for attention even 6 weeks old making all sounds and cries
Think it's time I found a home job 😂😂😂
banda ms
Whaddoyoumeme Jon on the thumbnail?
❤️❤️
Bet when he saw the mum he wanted to be unable to see again 😂😂😂
Why is your voice like that? I cant even focus on the subject
Newborn's first month is Neonatal time
Just got 🤰 why am I hear?
My baby is a boy
L
This video was as helpful as cancer
I'd love to watch Heidi Give Birth. ..
Hate to be "that guy" but this seems like the perfect usecase for gender neutral language... Kinda annoying the "he" was only used for the crying baby lol
Just use "baby" or "they"
Yeah it is really confusing/annoying to me why she keeps calling the baby “her”… ? It is so easy to just say they/their.
😑
Maybe sticking with one, consistent, pronoun for an example isn't a bad idea and makes for better dialogue.
No thanks
Why dose she assume it’s a girl
Idiot
Cats Pjs Why am I an idiot?
The way she starts this video just pisses me off
Haha. I was just about to comment on how her entire tone sounds condescending lol.
@@melindamercier6811 exactly and not just that she acts as though babies dont act like spawns of hell at times. Like this should be considered false advertising 😂😂
Exchange the hers for his… we’re having a son
TRIGGERED DID YOU ASSUME MY BABIES GENDER
