How is this page different from other advice about every visit feels like a performance review?

What do official guidelines say new parents should know about this?

Start with basics: note feeds, sleep and your own symptoms for 24 hours, eat and hydrate, and ask one trusted person for a specific task. Our printable guides help you capture patterns without obsessing over every detail.

Is it normal to worry about every visit feels like a performance review?

Contact GP, health visitor or NHS 111 if symptoms are worsening, you cannot care for yourself or your baby, you have thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, or something simply feels wrong. Trust your instincts — you do not need to wait for a "perfect" list of symptoms.

What can I do at home tonight if every visit feels like a performance review is on my mind?
