Parenting expert Lucy Atkins offers advice on what to expect in those first 48 hrs

Seeing your baby for the first time is one of the most memorable experiences in most parents’ lives, but shortly after, concerns stuck to kick in– am I holding my baby right?; what will I feed him/her?; how do I bath my baby properly? How will I cope!?

Parental instinct sets in quite quickly, but to give you a helping hand, Lucy Atkins, mother of 3 and author of ‘First Time Parent’, is here with help from the Fairy Godmothers, a panel of new mothers and mothers-to-be, to prepare you for the first 48 hours of bringing your baby home for the first time.

In the last of the series of podcasts from Lucy and the Fairy Godmothers, new mothers and fathers will be put at ease with a step by step guide to what one might expect in those first 48 hours after bringing baby home. With all the surprises out the way, you’ll be able to sit back and bond with your baby.
