Congratulations on the arrival of your baby! As your newborn is getting used to life in the outside world, with lots of space around him, you’ll be getting used to life with baby! It's a big change for you all, and we talk about how you may be feeling this week. You may have found that one of the most difficult things to adjust to is breastfeeding. This week, we help you spot the signs your baby is getting enough milk. We’ll also be covering your queries about bottle feeding too. Plus, will you be closing the door to visitors? Hear why some mums do.
