A birthmark is a congenital, benign irregularity on the skin which is present at birth or appears shortly after birth—usually in the first month and they can occur anywhere on the skin.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dermatologists divide birthmarks into two types: pigmented birthmarks and vascular birthmarks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pigmented birthmarks caused by excess skin pigment cells include: Moles, Cafe au lait spots and Mongolian spots ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Vascular birthmarks, also called red birthmarks, are caused by increased blood vessels and include macular stains (salmon patches), hemangiomas and Port-wine Stains.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Birthmarks occur as a result of a localised imbalance in factors controlling the development and migration of skin cells. Vascular birthmarks are not hereditary.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did your baby have a birthmark?

Laughing on your parenting journey is not just fun but it can be helpful. Humour can be a coping mechanism for parents, helping them reframe a stressful situation and lighten their own load.

On a more ‘serious’ note, who is coming to next week’s Cathy Cafe Catch Up?

Share this with your mum friends and we’ll see you there x

Alot of us don’t have a village like we used to, so HolisticBaby’s Taking Baby Home class offers you what you need to know for when you take your new baby home.

Our classes are online, so they are easily accessible in the evening and are hosted by Cathy McCormick who is a Midwife, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and a Nurse. Cathy will share with you all the information you need to know on how to prepare for a calm birth and family life.

In these focused 2 hour groups prior to the birth of your baby, we will empower you with information and strategies for parenting your baby in the early days and weeks, such as:

🧡The importance of responsive care.

🧡What to expect from your newborn when you get home.

🧡How much do babies cry?

🧡Latest evidence based advice on infant sleep, settling and feeding.

🧡How to make nights manageable.

🧡Newborn care (dressing, bathing and other cares).

🧡To swaddle or not to swaddle, why, when and how’s answered.

🧡Establishing your values as parents.

🧡Developing your skills as a new parent.

🧡Emotional support and encouragement, reducing stress.

🧡Where to get support.

And much more - your session will be tailored to your group to ensure all your questions have been answered.
