DAY TWO:

You may feel tired and disorganised today from getting up during the night to change and feed your baby. Keeping his crib close to your bed can help make life easier, and try to deal with night wakings with the minimum of fuss. Keep the lighting low and don't talk much or stimulate your baby. Only change his nappy if it's really necessary.

NEW-MUM TIP: Dress your baby in bodysuits in the early weeks and only change outfits if a nappy leaks or he is sick down it. And it's also perfectly acceptable for you to stay in your PJs!
