“Let’s just google it”
You get home from the hospital with your newborn…and a BUNCH of things they never told you start popping up.
Sneezing…all the time.
Hiccups…holy moly.
This weird rash…what’s going on here?
Parents have LOADS of questions…and it can be confusing/terrifying when you first get home.
You’re exhausted.
And you have this whole new person who’s completely reliant on you for everything.
And baby keeps doing all these things you weren’t expecting.
Let’s talk about the first few days at home with your baby—the part where you’re Googling every weird thing they do at 3 AM.
If you’ve ever stared at your newborn sneezing, hiccupping, and jumping like a startled raccoon and thought, Wait…is this normal? — this video is for you.
Watch above ⬆️
In this short video, I walk you through the most common newborn quirks I get asked about again and again by new parents:
🚼 Hiccups, sneezes, and that jittery jumpiness
🍼 Spitting up (and why it’s not always reflux)
🔴 That mysterious newborn rash with the terrifying name (spoiler: it’s totally benign)
🌬 Periodic breathing that’ll have you convinced your baby is auditioning for a wind instrument solo
🧱 “Brick dust” in the diaper
🧷 The slightly stinky journey of the umbilical cord
And best of all—I explain why all of this is NORMAL.
Because knowing what’s normal? That’s the first step to lowering your anxiety and feeling confident as a parent.
✅ Bookmark it.
✅ Watch it again when you're 4 days in and wondering if your baby is allergic to your cat.
✅ Share it with a pregnant friend or new parent who needs to hear this.
