🎥 Vitamin K & Vitamin D: What You Need to Know from Birth

👶 At birth, your baby receives a vitamin K injection, given intramuscularly.
This vitamin is essential for blood clotting and helps prevent internal bleeding, which can sometimes occur in newborns.
✅ This is a routine and very important measure.

☀️ Vitamin D is given orally, every day.
It plays a key role in:
• growth,
• bone development,
• and a healthy immune system.

💧 The dosage depends on how your baby is fed, and sometimes on their overall health — always based on medical advice:
• 🍼 800 IU/day for breastfed babies (breast milk contains very little vitamin D),
• 🍼 400 IU/day for formula-fed babies (formula is fortified with vitamin D),
• 👶 And sometimes higher doses for premature babies, those with growth delays, or in special cases.

💡 A little tip to make giving vitamin D easier:
Put a few drops of milk in a teat along with the vitamin dose — this helps avoid choking and makes it easier to swallow.

💫 Umbilical Cord Care – What to Know

🎥 In episode 2 of our series, we talked about umbilical cord care!
Today, we’re focusing on how to care for it during those precious first few weeks of life.

✨Here’s how to keep it clean and safe:

✔️ Clean once a day with mild soap and water or saline or a gentle antiseptic
✔️ Dry the base thoroughly
✔️ Keep the diaper folded below the stump
✔️ Avoid covering it with tight clothes

📍 Watch for signs of infection:
🔸 Redness spreading around the belly button
🔸 Foul smell or pus
🔸 Ongoing bleeding

🔸⚠️ If the cord hasn’t fallen off after 3 weeks, this is not necessarily a sign of infection, but it’s important to mention it to your pediatrician for proper evaluation.

🩺 When in doubt, speak to your pediatrician or your paediatric nurse.

💛 As with any baby care, always wash your hands before and after handling the cord.

🎥 Thank you Dr for the helpful reminders!

💡 Newborn Jaundice – What to look out for at home

Together with , pediatrician and colleague at , we’re launching a 🇫🇷 video series lovingly designed to support you during those first tender weeks and months with your baby.

🌟 Our goal is simple: to share clear, practical advice to help make this new chapter a little smoother and less overwhelming.

🎥 In our first episode, we talk about newborn jaundice — something many parents face in the early days.

🕑 The most serious cases often appear within the first 48 hours at the hospital and are usually well managed.

🏠 But once you’re back home, it’s important to keep an eye out for signs that may need attention:

🔸 Yellowish skin or whites of the eyes
🔸 A baby who is very sleepy or feeding poorly
🔸 Trouble regaining birth weight
🔸 Fewer wet diapers or dark urine

👩‍⚕️ That’s also where home visits can make a real difference. They allow early detection of warning signs and help guide you through what’s normal — and what’s not — during these crucial first days.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to see your pediatrician. They can do a blood test to check bilirubin levels and determine if treatment is needed.

💛 This was your Jaundice Minute — stay tuned for more episodes!

🇬🇧 🎉 15 years as a pediatric nurse! 🎉

Exactly 15 years ago, after 3 years of nursing studies, 4,500 hours of training, and obtaining my 🇫🇷 Diploma in Nursing, I specialized in pediatric nursing—a wish that began when I was 5, after meeting my little brother in the neonatology unit. This 1-year training (1,500 hours) allowed me to deepen my knowledge in areas such as:

🍼 Child development and needs
👶 Pediatrics and neonatology care
🤱 Breastfeeding and infant nutrition
🛡️ Prevention and parental support

Having worked in Paris, London, and Dubai, I feel lucky every day to still take so much joy in this profession.

🇫🇷 🎉 15 ans de diplôme de puéricultrice ! 🎉

Il y a 15 ans, après 3 ans d’études en soins infirmiers, 4500 heures de formation et l’obtention du Diplôme d’État d’Infirmier, je me spécialisais en puériculture, un souhait ancré depuis mes 5 ans, après avoir rencontré mon petit frère en service de néonatalogie.
Cette formation d’1 an (1 500 heures) m’a permis d’approfondir des domaines comme :

🍼 Le développement et les besoins de l’enfant
👶 Les soins en pédiatrie et néonatalogie
🤱 L’allaitement et l’alimentation infantile
🛡️ La prévention et l’accompagnement parental

Après avoir travaillé en France, Angleterre et Dubaï, je me sens chanceuse chaque jour de pouvoir toujours prendre autant de plaisir à ce métier.

⭐️ Supporting Mom Postpartum: Simple Questions for Big Impact ⭐️

Here are three questions you could ask your partner every morning in the postpartum period:

1. How are you feeling today?
Checking in with how she’s feeling sets the tone for the day—whether it’s a good start or if she needs extra care.

2. Do you have any physical pain anywhere?
Pain relief often gets overlooked or dismissed as “normal,” but in the 21st century, there’s no reason to let physical discomfort linger. Let’s address it.

3. What do you want for breakfast?
A nutritious breakfast is key to starting the day right.
It’s important to fuel both the body and mind as she recovers.

These few minutes of listening, attention, and care for mom at the start of the day can have a huge impact 🙌

💫Transforming parental concerns into confident actions

As a parent, it’s natural to feel anxious or uncertain at times. Many of you may worry about not being able to meet your child’s needs or not measuring up as a parent.

This fear can lead to seeking services such as sleep consultations or breastfeeding training, where experts provide clear and reassuring solutions amidst the overwhelming amount of information out there.

The fear of not being a “perfect parent” is a powerful motivator, and it’s common to hear advice like “not addressing sleep issues now could affect your child’s development” or “you’ll struggle with breastfeeding after a C-section.”
These messages can create urgency, causing stress and worry.

💫 But remember, it’s important that the solutions you turn to are not just about fear management.
They should offer you concrete support and peace of mind.

💫By turning this fear into positive action, you can feel confident in the choices you’re making for your child’s well-being.

Parenting doesn’t need to be a source of constant stress. With the right expertise, guidance, and support, you can feel empowered to trust your instincts and make the best decisions for your family.

⭐️ Sleep privation is one of the most difficult things for parents to manage, and their child’s sleep often becomes a central topic.

💫Sleep should not be approached as a training method that involves letting the child cry to some extent.
I believe sleep is not just about nighttime or falling asleep; it is closely linked to the child’s overall needs and daily routine.

My approach focuses more on sleep as a daily need for the child, just like their motor, physical, language, expressive, and caregiving needs.

💫The goal is to offer the child balance throughout their day in a secure environment where they feel safe and confident, while supporting their skills according to their developmental stage, through careful observation and understanding of their individual needs.

💫Do you know how researchers define a sleep problem?*
“There is no strict, universally accepted, or quantifiable definition,” according to Hiscock. “But the first step is this: if parents consider it a problem, then it is a problem that we need to address.”🙌
In some cases, this may simply mean education, says Hiscock. “If a parent says they have a three-month-old who wakes up twice a night to feed and is exhausted, you might say, well, actually, that’s normal behavior.”

⭐️Everything should start by gathering your keen and relevant observations and your feelings.

💫Ready to Transition Back to Work?💫

I have many consultations and questions on this topic.
These consultations aim to put you in the best possible conditions and support you in your choices and emotions.

👩‍🍼If you are breastfeeding, we will discuss managing your breastfeeding journey / breast pump at work, the necessary equipment, as well as hygiene practices, traceability, and milk storage.

👶We will also focus on supporting your growing child in their development by introducing new activities that stimulate their learning.

🥣If this coincides with the introduction of solid foods, we will establish a personalized program for food diversification.

🌓 Establishing a rhythm and routines is essential for making daily life easier for the entire family, including siblings.

⛱️Finally, we’ll explore how to harmoniously integrate your nanny by clarifying your expectations and setting solid foundations for a smooth start.

⛅️ Returning to work marks the end of this exclusive period of symbiosis with your baby.
It means accepting that they will now flourish not only through you but also through the experiences and interactions they have outside of your presence.

☀️Returning to work also means re-engaging in a social life and embracing its benefits.

⭐️ Learning to balance this ambivalence is essential for both you and your child to thrive in this new chapter.

🇬🇧 💫Effects of Free Bathing on Motor Development in Infants Aged 4 to 6 Months

☀️The study by C. M. Sanchez et al. published in 2022 in the *Journal of Pediatric Physical Therapy* demonstrated that free bathing, conducted in a small amount of warm water with minimal support from the bathtub edges, enhances motor development in babies aged 4 to 6 months.
Babies who experienced free bathing showed significant improvements in eye-hand coordination, muscle strength, and freedom of movement compared to those who received traditional baths.

💫Similar to floor mat activities, free bathing serves as an effective method for stimulating motor development in babies. It provides an enriched sensory experience through the water while making bath time more comfortable for parents.

🇫🇷 💫Effets du Bain Libre sur le Développement Moteur des Nourrissons Âgés de 4 à 6 Mois

☀️L’étude de C. M. Sanchez et al. publiée en 2022 dans le *Journal de Thérapie Physique Pédiatrique*. a montré que le bain libre, réalisé dans une petite quantité d’eau tiède avec un soutien minimal des bords de la baignoire, améliore le développement moteur des bébés de 4 à 6 mois.
Les bébés ayant bénéficié de cette méthode ont présenté des gains significatifs en coordination œil-main, force musculaire et liberté de mouvement par rapport à ceux ayant eu des bains traditionnels.

💫Le bain libre, tout comme les activités d’éveil sur tapis au sol, est une approche efficace pour stimuler le développement moteur des bébés. Il offre une expérience sensorielle enrichie grâce à l’eau, tout en facilitant le lavage de bébé de manière confortable pour les parents.
