Congrats on your first bp! It is definitely one of the hardest things to do when you bring home your new bp, but leaving it alone for at least a week is super important! When I bring home a new one I don't even allow myself to open the tub, it's torturous! One he has eaten a few meals you can hold him all you want, but for now it's best to let him settle in. I know it sucks, but you can do it!
