Plan the first weeks home with a new baby

Help me plan for the first 6 weeks at home with a new baby. Due date or baby's age now: [DETAILS] Who's at home and for how long: [partners, leave dates, family help] Feeding plan: [breastfeeding / formula / combination / undecided] Other kids or pets: [DETAILS] Biggest worries: [sleep, feeding, recovery, visitors, other children, money, mental health] Give me: 1. A realistic picture of what newborn days and nights often look like, so expectations are set. 2. A shift plan for sharing nights and chores so each adult gets a protected sleep block. 3. A help list: specific jobs I can hand to friends and family (meals, laundry, older-sibling outings), plus a message to ask for it. 4. Visitor ground rules and a polite script to share them. 5. A simple tracking sheet for feeds, diapers, and sleep for the first weeks. 6. A short list of safe-sleep basics (back to sleep, firm flat surface, nothing in the crib), to confirm with our pediatrician. 7. Recovery and wellbeing check-ins for the birthing parent and the partner. Include clear signposting: call the pediatrician or emergency services for fever in a young baby, trouble breathing, poor feeding, or unusual sleepiness, and seek help urgently for heavy bleeding or other warning signs after birth. If either parent has persistent low mood, anxiety, or thoughts of harming themselves or the baby, contact a doctor or crisis line right away; postpartum depression is common and treatable.
