Please take time to find out who I am, how I differ from you and how much I can bring to you.
Please feed me when I am hungry. I never knew hunger in your uterus, and clocks and time mean little to me.
Please hold, cuddle, kiss, touch, stroke, and croon to me. I was always held closely in your uterus and was never alone before.
Please don’t expect too much from me as your newborn baby, or
too much from yourselves as parents. Give us both six weeks as a
birthday present six weeks for me to grow, develop, mature and
become more stable and predictable; and six weeks for you to rest
and relax and allow your body to get back to normal.
Please forgive me if I cry a lot. Bear with me and in a short time, as I mature, I will spend less and less time crying and more time socializing.
Please watch me carefully and I can tell you those things which
soothe, console and please me. I am not a tyrant who was sent to
make your life miserable, but the only way I can tell you that I am not happy is with my cry.
Please remember that I am resilient and can withstand the many
natural mistakes you will make with me. As long as you make them with love, you cannot ruin me.
Please take care of yourself and eat a balanced diet, rest and
exercise so that when we are together you have the health and
strength to take care of me.
Please take care of your relationship with each other, for what
good is family bonding if there is no family to bond to?
Although I may have turned your life upside down, please realize that things will be back to normal before long.
