Breastfeeding
Once your milk arrives your baby maybe on and off the breast continually for the next 24 hours. This is normal newborn behaviour.
Feeding cues
Trying to impose a strict feeding schedule rather than watching your baby’s cues to be fed is likely to result in more crying and an unsettled baby.
Newborn development
Newborn babies smile between four and six weeks.
Breastfeeding3-6 months
3-5 hourly feeding, approximately 5 feeds per day. Introduction of solids at 6 months, offer the breast before solids.
Supportive & Personal Midwifery
A Relaxation Bath
Giving your baby a relaxation bath will often soothe a tense, crying baby. Take your baby back to their watery world.
Listen, watch, follow
If you follow your baby’s lead, your milk supply will catch up with your baby’s increased demand. It’s important to remember supply=demand.
Developmental milestones
When your little one is 4 weeks old they will have developed and use their sense of smell. They begin to gain appreciation of different tastes especially with your breastmilk.
They love watching your face, enjoy funny sounds and hearing their mum and dads voices.
