Here are some of the things you need for baby and yourself I haven’t named everything but some of the essentials.

With babies they have no way of communicating but to cry. You will learn there cries eventually. They cry because they are hungry, wet, wind, tired or just want to be cuddled. At times it can be frustrating and you don’t know what to do. But don’t fear because this is normal and you probally will feel a little sad and a bit overwhelmed for a few weeks up to around 6 weeks you feel a lot better.

If you can get your husband/partner to stay home for a couple of weeks just to help settle in and do things around the house. If you do not have this try and have a family member to help you out as much as possible.  

The first 6 weeks are the hardest and quite frustrating, just bare with this because it does get easier and you learn from the child and what the child wants. I know myself when my girls are crying sometimes I just need to walk into another room just to have a little time out from them and calm down and relax. This does help and you are ready to face them again. Please make sure they are in their room in their cot/crib so that they are safe and you know they can’t harm themselves.

I hope this has helped new parents and If you need any advice please ask.
