5-Step Execution & Verification Playbook

  1. Skin-to-skin first — Start with {p0} when baby is stable, as the page lists it.
  2. Wet-nappy signal — Use {p1} as the intake cue the page names — not a clock or shame test.
  3. Safe sleep every sleep — Repeat {p2} for naps and night feeds alike.
  4. Event-pin is a reminder — Pinning an event marks what to revisit tonight, not how well you performed.

Myth vs. Evidence Fact-Check

What is the Day 1 named practice on this page?

Skin-to-skin: after birth, once baby is medically stable, hold chest-to-chest before a long nursery separation. The same hold at home is how you notice rooting and temperature wobble. A wrap or robe keeps both of you warm so the hold lasts longer than a photograph.

How do I know feeding is working by day 5?

Offer breast or bottle when baby roots or at least every 2–3 hours. By day 5 the published count is six or more wet nappies in 24 hours — that count is the event, not a clock. Evening cluster feeds in the first week are a growth-spurt event, not proof the milk ran out.

What is the safe-sleep setup for every sleep?

Every sleep — first nap at home and 3 a.m. — is the same event: firm flat surface, on the back, no soft bedding, smoke-free room. Room-share in the same room; do not share the sleep surface, per AAP.

When is the first pediatric visit on the published checklist?

Schedule the first visit within 3–5 days. That visit, with the two-week weigh-in, is how the page confirms birth weight is coming back. Slow gain means more feeds, not longer stretches — do not skip a feed to “stretch” night sleep before weight is back.
