Our suggestion is schedule your session within the first two weeks of life. During this time frame, newborns are usually very sleepy still, and can be nudged into a deep slumber with a full tummy and lots of warmth.
Babies are also nice and "bendy" at this age! After 14 days, their bones get a little stronger; it's a little more work to get them to co-operate in a swaddling wrap or basket. At around 21 days old, they become a little more alert, making it less likely that we'll be able to get them into a deep sleep.
