what we’ll cover
Practical
Settling In
Coming home from the hospital is a day you dream about for 9 months. You are now a family and it’s time to get settled in! My job during this time is not only to make sure that the baby’s basic needs are being met at home, but to also cater to your postpartum recovery which includes rest and proper nutrition. This is a time where basic needs are what matter most. I will use my expert knowledge and experience to assist you with settling in, while also teaching you skills to successfully take care of your newborn. These include skills like: breast/bottle feeding (how much, when, latch, etc), soothing techniques, understanding baby’s cues, creating an organized and safe environment for the baby, and helping the entire family get acclimated and rested.
Progression
Moving Right Along
Now that you are home and settled in, it’s time to begin to get to know your baby better and start establishing early routines. During this phase I will teach you ways to recognize when a growth spurt is happening as well as starting early sleep shaping techniques with your baby. Sleep shaping is not the same thing as sleep training. Promoting good sleep patterns early on will come in handy as the baby grows. We are encouraging and promoting good sleep habits. We will also start to see daytime and nighttime routines begin to emerge and we will nurture and develop those. Other areas we will work on include: tummy time, learning about development and starting more daytime interactions, and continued care for your recovery.
Perception
Embracing the Transition
As routines begin to take shape and the baby develops and changes, it’s my job to provide solutions to issues that may arise. My experience has given me the insight to manage any problem that may surface. You have the added assurance that I am constantly watching, evaluating, and planning for your newborn each step of the way. The first six weeks of the postpartum period can be very challenging for some women. Between hormone fluctuations, lack of sleep, and the new demands of your infant, issues like postpartum depression and anxiety can take hold. My job is to watch for early signs that you may be struggling, and to assist with adequate time for self-care, nutrition, and sleep. During this time we will continue to learn from your baby’s cues to establish successful routines so that your family will continue to flourish.
