What to do with newborn?

Question

I know this is a weird question but what kind of activities can i do with a newborn. He’s only a week old. He will sleep, wake up, eat, get changed, and then go back to sleep. 
I feel like i should be doing something with him or is this normal in the first month? 
He’s only awake a few hours out of the day and I’m not sure if i should wake him or just let him sleep.

Answer

They sleep a lot in the first month but you can still be stimulating them during awake times. Do tummy time, sing to them, jingle toys in front of them, go for walks so they can look around, dance while holding them, read them books, etc.

Answer

Cuddle parties!!

Answer

Sleeping a lot is normal at that age. You can sing, shake toys in front of baby, or give baby tummy time during the short periods when they are awake. 
This period is short lived so enjoy your “you time” while it lasts ☺️

Answer

baby massage or yoga is brilliant. Also great for bonding. :) good luck

Answer

baby massage is a great way to bond and it helps with gas and constipation

Answer

lol I felt the same way. Like, should I be doing something with him? Is it neglectful to leave him there when he’s not fussing? I should be doing things with him, so he knows I’m here, right? 
Meh. He’s 6 weeks old tomorrow and he finally started cooing at me and smiling. I’ve spent weeks babbling at him, rubbing his hands, giving him baby massages, talking to him and playing music for him. I doubt he noticed.

Answer

Totally normal, both my babies were like that for the first month or so, don't stress it, take it as a blessing, shortly they'll need all your attention constantly. Congratulations!!
