The first few days and weeks with a newborn can be stressful and new parents need all the help and support they can get (although this info is just as useful for second-, third- or fourth-time parents).
And that’s why we asked ‘baby whisperer’ (btw she’s ALSO a ‘mommy whisperer’) Sr Ann Richardson – who is a qualified nurse and midwife – to fill us in on everything we need to know about looking after a newborn: from taking care of the umbilical cord to what different types of newborn poop mean and setting up a sleep routine for your baby.
Some of the crucial parenting questions that are answered in the InstaLive below:
Why is my baby’s poop black and sticky?
Should I use alcohol to clean my baby’s umbilical cord?
