Reading to your newborn is a beautiful way to bond and support their early development.

Even though they can’t understand words yet, your voice, tone, and rhythm help them feel safe and connected.

Here are some ideas to make reading time special:

Choose simple, rhythmic books: Look for stories with gentle rhymes, repetition, and soothing sounds.

Use board or cloth books: These are durable and safe for little hands to explore.

Focus on contrast and color: Newborns see high-contrast images best, so black-and-white or bold-colored books are great.

Make it part of your routine: Read during quiet moments—before naps, bedtime, or after feeding.

Engage with your voice: Use soft tones, sing parts of the story, or emphasize rhythm to keep your baby’s attention.

Even a few minutes a day helps your baby associate reading with comfort and love.

🤗 Oh, Thank crunchie it's Friday!
Mind you in the world of mothers, babies and midwives it still business as normal...

🤓So, here is some weekend reading /information on Perineal massage.

🥳 its important to remember the main benefits are:

🔅make you less likely to tear or need an episiotomy (a cut to the birth canal) during the birth of your baby

🔅help to reduce the stinging sensation during the birth of your baby’s head

🔅help you get familiar with the stretching sensation of birth

🔅help you to relax your muscles when birthing your baby

‼️Comment below if you need more information or if you had a positive experience with perineal massage

😍A baby’s due date is the special day marked on the calendar when your little one is expected to arrive.

😍But like all things babies..... this is where the unpredictable nature of them start! Only 5% (approx) of them arrive on this date.

🥰This date is usually about 40 weeks from the start of your last period, but think of it more as a fun countdown than an exact deadline.

🥰Babies love surprises, and many decide to show up a little earlier or later than planned.

Fun Fact Friday.....
🫶The placenta begins forming at implantation (approx. 7-14 days post-conception).

❣️It starts its growth with rapid, tree-like branching of villi to support fetal growth.

💌It grows throughout the first and second trimesters, usually maturing by 12 weeks to take over nutrient/oxygen transfer.

So, your body has lots of work to do in the first trimester. Rest, eat and sleep well knowing what a big job your achieving!

Meeting your new baby is a big moment — not just for you, but for your toddler too
💛 Slow it down.
🧡Let them feel important.
💙Let them “help"
💜Let them have their feelings — the love, the curiosity, even the wobbles

This isn’t just about welcoming a baby; it’s about growing a new version of your family. You’re not replacing your
firstborn’s place — you’re expanding it. And there is room for everyone. 🌿 🌿

Here is factually correct information about the hearing screening test.
Please remember lots of baby's need this test repeated around day 10. Your baby needs to get retested if they get a non clearance result on the ward.
Don't worry if this happens as the repeat test normally is deemed clear.

Please ask for more information if you are unsure what this means. Also, always check again if you gave any concerns about your baby.

It is highly recommended all new babies are screened at birth for some metabolic disorders. This is a free screen tools that 99.9% of parents consent too.
Currently we screen for nine disorders however, two further conditions will be added later in 2026.
These conditions are rare however the benefits of screening are enormous to enable early treatment.

Like all screening, this is not a diagnosis but it means ypur baby has been identified as high risk and will have further testing arranged.
