BRAIN ACTIVITY FOR BABY

Have you ever watched a pregnant mother sway back and forth while standing or sitting? That rhythmic movement is something baby is used to + has optimal development advantages to it. Rhythmic movement can be soothing for mom and baby to do together even outside of the womb.

Materials needed:

Parent + Baby

What to do?

Hold baby & sway or dance side to side while supporting newborn’s head for a few minutes throughout the day.

Why?

Rhythmic movements are a baby massage + stimulation to their inner ear (vestibular system).

Balanced brains = balanced bodies.

WHEN WILL MY MILK COME IN?

Did you know that it is normal for women not to have their “milk” come in until baby is 3-7 days old? A new mother’s breast will produce 3 different stages of breastmilk to nourish her baby.

1st: Colostrum for up to the first 7 days.

2nd: Transitional Milk for 2 weeks.

3rd: Mature Milk is produced 20 days after birth and onwards.

For new breastfeeding moms, it is helpful to know that not everyone’s milk “comes in” at the same time.
