Really appreciate the reassurring tone here. New parents get so much conflicting info that its easy to spiral over every little thing. The periodic breathing explanation is especially helpfull since that can look genuinely scary if youve never seen it before. Love that you emphasize "less is more" with the skin peeling, alot of people overcomplicate newborn skincare when simple petroleum jelly does the trick.

Thank you! It is all so new and scary when you have this new little person to care for. And realizing what is normal helps take out some of that scary part! Then you are more likely to enjoy the experience. And yes, the answers are almost always simple 🫢🏻
