This is a great list! I had NO CLUE about most of these things after my first baby! Even with my second I’m still learning and #3 is due anyday now and I appreciated this refresher.

Thank you for the suggestions you give here! I will be facing this in the future and I think I could definitely try several of these. I like the snack idea and the nursing box idea. 5 idea i should bear in mind.

You know, even when I worked with midwives I don’t think I’ve ever said “call your provider”… and currently I don’t work with midwives (although I wish I did). I think it’s just not how the community I am around talks. But I agree, talk to your provider. 🙂

I do really love the “crying more than smiling for 3 days” rule. That’s such a simple, good indicator that I’ll be using with my patients and clients. Thank you!

That said, I wish your site was more friendly towards the midwifery model of care and included language that could be digested by families who didn’t have a doctor to call. So easy to just say “provider”, although I get the impression that at the facility you’re in, you see your fair share of poor outcomes and necessary obstetric intervention. Balance in all things. <3
