Newborn photo question
I never did this but I always wonder.. how do they get them to sleep like that? Aren't they cold? Don't they pee on everything?
I remember trying to do shoot when DS was first born.. he got cold and peed all over my comforter.

Re: Newborn photo question
comfy bean bags, heaters, soothing music, full tummy, newborns = sleeeeep.
my son didnt open his eyes once. we do not have a single shot with his eyes open! 3.5 hours, 100% sleep 
oh, and yes, they do pee and poop  this is where washable props come in handy - and lots of spare blankets!! its totally expected at a NB shoot
jack hosed down this blanket right after summer got this shot  Image Attachment(s):

Re: Newborn photo question
Summer has heaters she uses. The baby is toasty warm.
And I've personally seen her get peed on.

Exactly!!
But my babies kept waking up anyway! (of course  )
And yes they did pee & poop on the blankets and props.

Re: Newborn photo question
Yep they pee and sometimes poop Heaters work wonders along with some white noise. Also, they are more "bendy" and pliable before they're 2 weeks old, so that's the best time to do those pics.
My DS was 6 weeks at his shoot because he was a preemie and was in the hospital for a month. He was definitely not as cooperative as younger babies!

Happy to say my kid didn't pee or poop on anything!

This made me LOL - it's like that dreaded pregnancy question all over again! "Yes, I did. No, no one cared."

Re: Newborn photo question
Same as what everyone else has said. Summer used a heating pad under the blankets and she also brings her sound machine. DD slept for almost the whole time. We got a couple shots withher eyes opened.
She pooped on this wrap.
