Happy Valentine’s Day 💕

❤️ Oxytocin is known as ‘the love hormone’. In honour of valentine’s day here are 6 ways new parents can naturally trigger the release of this feel good hormone!

❤️ Skin-to-skin contact
- skin-to-skin time with your baby is a wonderful bonding opportunity and will help promote the release of oxytocin for both you and your baby.

❤️Breastfeeding
- Breastfeeding triggers the release of oxytocin.

❤️ Cuddle time
- Cuddling and holding your little one will release Oxytocin and will also help your baby’s brain development. Remember, you can’t spoil a baby so hold and cuddle your baby as much as you like; it’s beneficial for both of you!

❤️ Baby-wearing
- Wearing your baby in a carrier helps keep them to feel close and connected to you whilst you have your hands free to do other things. Keeping your baby close to you will help release Oxytocin in both parent and baby.

❤️ Smell your baby’s head
- You know that amazing newborn baby smell? This will release Oxytocin. If only they could bottle this scent!

❤️ Baby massage
- Touch also aids the release of Oxytocin so practising baby massage with your baby is a lovely way to bond with them and release more of that love hormone. There are multiple benefits to baby massage for both parents and baby.

In short, keeping your baby close to you is going to have a positive impact on both you and your baby in those early days and will get those lovely hormones flowing.

👶 Welcoming a new baby is a huge change, especially for older siblings. Here are some gentle, practical ways to help them feel secure, loved and included during those early weeks.

👩‍🍼Plan the first meeting

If you can, avoid holding the baby when they first meet. Free arms mean you can give your older child lots of cuddles first, then bring baby in together.

💛 Prepare your visitors

Ask friends and family to make a fuss of your older child too. A small gift just for them can really help them feel included.
Avoid calling them “the big one”
It can feel quite jarring for a child who has always been the baby. Try not to change expectations overnight and ask others to do the same.

🥰 Get them their own baby

A doll they can feed, cuddle or change alongside you can be a lovely way to play and feel involved.

🔹 Invest in a good sling

A sling can be a real lifesaver with a newborn and a toddler. Baby stays close and content while your hands are free for play and cuddles.

🍼 Create a special feeding box

Save a box of activities just for feeding times. It comes out while you feed the baby and goes away again afterwards.

😳 Don’t “blame” the baby

Try swapping “I can’t, I’m holding the baby” for “my hands are busy right now, I’ll help you as soon as I can”.

❤️Make time for one-to-one moments

Even short pockets of time can mean the world. If you can, step away from the baby and focus fully on your older child.

There is no perfect way to do this. Be kind to yourself, take it one day at a time, and remember that love is not divided, it grows.

💛 Today is World Cancer Day, a gentle reminder of how important it is to know your own body and what feels normal for you.

Small changes are often nothing to worry about, but you are the expert on your own body. If something feels different, lasts longer than expected, or just does not feel quite right, trusting your instincts and getting it checked can bring reassurance and peace of mind.

Having these conversations does not need to feel scary. Early checks are about care, not fear, and most of the time they lead to reassurance.
Today we are thinking of everyone affected by cancer, directly or indirectly. Sending love, kindness, and support to you.

‼️ Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that happens when the body overreacts to an infection. It can develop quickly, which is why acting fast really matters.

As a parent, you know your child better than anyone. It’s so important to trust your instincts.

If your child shows any early warning signs, seems more unwell than you would expect, or something just doesn’t feel right, seek urgent medical attention straight away.

Save this post so you can refer to it later. And please share this with your friends with little ones.

❤️ Hormones are chemicals produced by different glands across your body. They travel through the bloodstream, acting as messengers and playing a part in many bodily processes.

One of these important functions is helping to regulate your mood.

Certain hormones are known to help promote positive feelings, including happiness and pleasure and these are some very simple ways we can help our bodies to produce them!

Around 300 cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed in Scotland each year, but the good news is this is one cancer that can be prevented.

Thanks to cervical screening and the HPV vaccine, eliminating cervical cancer is more achievable than ever before.

Cervical screening saves lives.

This week is Cervical Cancer Prevention Week and it’s an important reminder to attend your smear test if you’ve been invited and if you’re not sure if you’re due one to get in touch with your GP practice to find out.

The test itself takes less than 5 minutes, and the whole appointment is usually around 10 minutes. A few minutes of discomfort are worth the peace of mind 💜
