1. Start by getting plenty of sleep for yourself and your baby.
2. Establish a regular feeding and sleeping schedule that works best for both of you.
3. Make sure to talk to your baby often, even if it's just to say “I love you.”
4. Find ways to keep your baby entertained during the day so they don't get bored.
5. Take time each day to cuddle and bond with your baby.
6. Try to limit distractions like loud noises or bright lights when your baby is awake.
7. Get support from family and friends who can provide emotional support as well as practical help.
