Firstly, to get those desirable, in-the-womb poses, your baby needs to be relaxed and sleepy. In the first couple of weeks your baby can sleep as much as 18-20 hours a day! This is perfect to get all of those fetal position shots, and to be able to safely pose your baby. Secondly, did you know a newborn has nearly 300 bones & cartilage pieces?! Which after that 14 day mark, start to fuse together into calcified bone, which makes it much harder for them to return to that in-the-womb position they’ve been in for the last 9 months. Lastly, growth spurts! These typically start to happen around 2-3 weeks. This means your baby may up their feed, be awake for longer, and start stretching out more. But don’t panic if for whatever reason your not able to make it within the first 14 days, I photograph babies all ages, and can still capture some beautiful natural photos for you to cherish forever.
