Weeks are counted from the last period, and the early body is allowed to feel strange without owing anyone a glow.

Sizes and dates are averages. Feeding and sleep notes follow widely published public-health guidance, including World Health Organization infant-feeding advice and back-to-sleep recommendations. They are not a protocol for your hospital.
