✨Just another Maddie Monday✨

Maddie, RN & Postpartum Doula shares her tips and tricks for !

Newborns make a lot of noise—grunts, squeaks, whimpers, even little cries—while they’re actually still asleep. It can be tempting to scoop them up the second you hear a sound, but pausing for a moment can be helpful. Sometimes they’re just transitioning between sleep cycles and will settle right back down on their own. Giving them a brief chance to resettle doesn’t mean ignoring them; it means observing and responding thoughtfully. Of course, if the cry escalates or feels like a true “I’m awake” cry, that’s your cue. A short pause can lead to more rest for everyone.

Maddie lives in north Wichita with her husband and three children, and has been one of our amazing overnight newborn care providers at The Wichita Baby Company since 2019!

Newborn tips & tricks with Taylor, Newborn Care Specialist!

Follow along with Taylor as she demonstrates the most basic and traditional - the muslin swaddling blanket.

Remember: swaddling is only for newborns during intentional sleep times! Babies must be unswaddled for feeds, wake windows, , etc. When babies are old enough to roll, it’s time to put them in a sleep sack for naps instead of a swaddle!

Taylor lives in west Wichita with her husband and their three daughters. The Wichita Baby Company has been lucky to have her as one of our overnight newborn care providers since 2021!

Making your baby registry or stocking your nursery for the new arrival?

This will give you an idea of how many of each basic item you will need.

I’m fairly minimalist but there are some things you don’t want to be caught without - after all, babies are quite messy 😂

Consider how many times per day each item will be used, and how often you do laundry, to determine how many to stock the nursery with!

Your baby’s first cold…it was bound to happen sometime, but it sure does tug on your heartstrings to hear them struggle with snot.

Here are 3 things you can do to help your baby recover from a cold faster:

1. Use breast milk or saline to loosen mucus and soothe crusty noses first before suctioning.

2. Use a snot sucker or bulb syringe to extract the loosened mucus- just make sure to avoid doing so directly after a feeding, as your baby may cough and spit up all the milk you just worked so hard to provide!

3. Use a cool mist humidifier in your baby’s sleep area. This helps prevent the mucus from hardening so your baby can sleep better with less coughing or choking.

Give alll the snuggles and baby will soon be back to 💯 🥰

When I (Sara) tell my postpartum doula clients that I love organizing, their eyes usually light up as they think about a certain project they have been meaning to do for a while 😅 Check out how I set up this book case in a client’s nursery 🥰

Postpartum daytime shifts can include: infant care; light household care such as bottles, dishes, laundry, and vacuuming; conversation and emotional support; support for breastfeeding and/or bottle feeding; organization; and education on a variety of topics such as sleep routines, infant health and safety, bathing, diapering, baby wearing, etc.

Overnight newborn care shifts can include: infant care; healthy sleep routines; bottles and baby laundry 🥰
