Newborn

Once you have your newborn at home, they just seem to stare blankly at you and they sleep all the time. They can move their heads from sided to side but barely can lift it. They just eat, sleep, "poo" and "pee". Sometimes it is frustrating for parents because the baby does not seem to recognize your presence but needs you all the time for its basic needs,
