What really happens in the first 10 days after bringing your baby home?

In this episode, Dr. Morgan breaks down what to expect during the immediate postpartum period and shares her top five tips to help you feel more confident, prepared, and supported during this intense and rapidly changing time.

From your baby’s first latch to milk coming in, from meconium to normal stool changes, and from weight fluctuations to postpartum healing, we cover the key milestones and transitions that often catch new parents off guard.

We also discuss common post-birth interventions, what is normal in the early days, and how to better prepare both physically and emotionally so you are not left feeling overwhelmed.

This episode is designed to help new and expecting parents navigate the first 10 days with clarity and confidence so you can focus more on bonding with your baby and less on questioning what is normal.
