The first few weeks after the birth of a baby can be very stressful. Nothing can prepare new parents for the intensity of emotions that they will experience. In addition to overwhelming love and devotion they will also experience frustration and exhaustion. It is very important for them to understand that all this is perfectly normal and just about everyone goes through it.
Individual responses to the stress of parenting are what really matters. Some people feel very confident in their ability and are willing to trust their instincts. Others however are not so sure of themselves and really need help.
