The first moments with mom and her newborn is indeed a happy time and bring joy to the entire family. No matter how many children you have, giving birth is a new experience each time around for the mom. A new mom is learning how to care for herself and this new life and at times it can be emotionally and physically challenging. The first 100 days is a critical time of bonding between the mom and baby as feedings, diaper changes, baths, sleepless nights, older children, life etc become your new norm. Depending on the delivery type, expectations may need to shift a bit, the period can be a bit worrisome wanting everything with baby to be just right.
New beginnings are fun and exciting, mom and newborn are moving forward. My first child was a boy, labor was not extremely long, he was born at night and he slept for more than 10 hours after birth. Never wake a sleeping baby my doctor said and he was right. I wanted to breastfeed, latching on took sometime but I persevered because it was important to me. I was fortunate to be able to just focus on the baby while other household chores were taken care of and I certainly enjoyed swaddling baby and holding him close to me. Our bunting bag revisits my first few months as mom where I wanted to carry and not strap my baby. Hands wrapped about the baby while being swaddled, this maybe viewed as a leisure activity but it also serves as great bonding between mom and the newborn.
Our handmade bunting shown in Sunshine Ombre color is sure to send any “baby blues” that maybe lurking around due to changes in body and hormones is created of pure cotton with our signature styles and stitches, shoulder straps allow for the jacket to be worn as an additional layering piece as well as a hat. Feet firmly snugged inside, a bootie is a fun but optional addition to the ensemble.
