What's inside
Seven honest things about the first fortnight with a newborn — one line each, with the reassurance nobody hands you. It covers recovery being longer than "six weeks", the newborn payments you have to actually claim, why you can't "spoil" a newborn, the one place to be strict (safe sleep), the 2am "I'm the only one not coping" lie, visitors as a choice not an obligation, and the numbers worth saving before you need them (healthdirect, PANDA, Red Nose, Lifeline).
Australian services named as real — Services Australia, Medicare, Red Nose, PANDA. Always confirm current amounts and eligibility with Services Australia; the rules change.
