As someone who has birthed 3 babies, I can personally attest to what a whirlwind of an experience it is. In a very short period of time, you are thrust into a somewhat traumatic yet equally breathtaking experience packed full of events that seem impossible to comprehend. Every moment is certainly worth remembering, but it never seems to work out that way when your brain is being clouded with newborn baby information and utter exhaustion. Because the first few days with baby are already testing you physically, mentally and emotionally, it can be helpful to have things written down to help you with preserving those early memories. As moms, we are instantly drawn into caring for this new little creature that relies on us for everything, but we are also usually the keeper of memories. “More often than not, mothers are the guardians of memory within the family. They’re the ones most inclined to organize photos, frame them, share them and make beautiful albums with them.” - Gratiane, mootsh.com So how do we balance the exhaustion and desire to remember it all? With a list! We’ve put together a list of 30 must-take newborn baby photos in those early days (before/at the hospital and at home). Follow the list and you’ll definitely capture the sweet moments that encapsulate those first few days of newborn bliss – and you won’t even have to think about it! [Scroll to the end to download the list so you can take it with you to hospital and post it up on the fridge for easy reference] DIY Newborn Hospital Photo Ideas (and some for before you go) Before you head to the hospital, take a few photos of the calm before the storm.
