Let’s get real - parenthood & postpartum comes with a few surprises. Here are some things that no one told you about:

✨ Your baby will cry...a lot (and that’s totally okay)
✨ You’ll be obsessed with baby photos… and still feel like you’re missing some
✨ After birth, your body might feel like it’s been through a mini marathon (hello, recovery!)
✨ Sleep deprivation hits hard, but cuddles make up for it all
✨ Baby wipes will become useful for more than just wiping a baby’s bottom 😅
✨ The after-birth cramps can be quite painful – especially with second+ babies
✨ You might still look pregnant for weeks. Be kind to yourself and your body ❤️
✨ Newborns grunt like tiny dinosaurs at night. Totally normal but very noisy!
✨ Postpartum hair loss hits about 3 months post birth
✨ You may cry at ads, socks and the weather. Hormones are no joke but it gets better!
It’s a crazy, wonderful journey. You’ve got this, Supermum 💪

If you need extra support there are some wonderful resources available including Red Nose, COPE and your maternal child health nurse and their network.

Small, mighty, and packed with goodness, colostrum is often called "liquid gold" for a reason.

This thick, yellowish milk is your baby’s first food, produced in the first few days after birth. It's full of antibodies, protein, and nutrients to help protect your newborn and build their immune system.

✨ Just a few drops at a time are enough to nourish your baby
🤱 Some parents choose to express colostrum before birth (especially if baby might need extra support after delivery. Your midwife can guide you)
Every feed, no matter how small, counts 💛

Talk to your midwife about colostrum collection and breastfeeding support during your hospital stay.

Newborns sleep a lot! But how they sleep matters.
Keep your baby safe while they snooze with these evidence-based tips from Red Nose Australia:

✅ Always place baby on their back to sleep
✅ Use a firm, flat mattress with no loose bedding, pillows or soft toys
✅ Sleep baby in a cot or bassinet in your room for the first 6–12 months
✅ Keep baby's face and head uncovered
✅ Avoid overheating – dress baby appropriately and check the room temperature is comfortable for you

🛑 Don’t co-sleep on a couch or armchair, it’s never safe
🛌 Co sleeping in bed not recommended, and safest place for baby to sleep is in their own safe sleeping space
🤱 Do not sleep with your baby at the breast, it is important to ensure baby has space to breath whilst breastfeeding

You can find the full safe sleep guidelines at rednose.org.au

👶 Sleep is precious, make it safe 💗

It’s World Breastfeeding Week (1–7 August) 💙
A great time to reflect on the benefits of breastfeeding—for both baby and mum.

👶 For baby:
• Boosts their immune system—less risk of colds, ear infections & stomach bugs
• Supports healthy brain development
• Reduces the risk of allergies, asthma & SIDS
• Easier to digest than formula

🤱 For mum:
• Helps your uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size
• Can reduce the risk of breast and ovarian cancer
• May lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease
• Releases oxytocin, helping you feel calm and connected to your baby

💰 And it’s free, ready when you need it, and always the right temperature!

Our team is here to support you with expert guidance, compassionate care, and breastfeeding education from day one.

Your newborn comes equipped with some incredible reflexes—they’re nature’s way of helping baby thrive.

🖐️ Startle (Moro) reflex – Baby throws their arms out when startled. It’s totally normal and fades by around 3–6 months.
👣 Stepping reflex – Hold baby upright and they’ll do a little walking motion—adorable!
🍼 Rooting + sucking – Help baby find the breast or bottle and latch on
✋ Palmar grasp – Baby will instinctively grab your finger (cue heart melt 💘)

These reflexes are signs of a healthy, developing nervous system—and yes, they’re super cute too!

Your baby’s first 24 hours outside the womb are full of big adjustments—for both of you 💛

Here’s what to expect:

💤 Sleepy stretches—totally normal, they’ve just done a lot of work!
✨ Lots of skin-to-skin cuddles (amazing for bonding + regulating baby's temperature and heart rate)
🤱 Frequent feeds—after a big sleep post birth, your baby may feed a lot to start to bring your milk in
🧷 A few checks—we’ll monitor baby’s breathing, temperature, your wellbeing and recovery, and baby’s first wee and poo
💉 Injections—administering of vitamin K and hepatitis B with your consent
Take it slow. Rest, bond, and ask for help—we’re here for you 💕

A birth plan is a simple way to communicate your preferences for labour and birth 💬👶
It’s not set in stone (birth is unpredictable!)—but it’s a great way to feel informed and empowered 💪

Here are a few things you might include in yours:

👥 Support People
Who you’d like by your side during labour (partner, friend, family etc.)
💉 Pain Relief Options
Whether you’d like to try nitrous oxide, an epidural, or focus on natural techniques like breathing and movement
🌿 Environment Preferences
Dim lights? Music? Essential oils? Let your care team know what helps you feel calm
🩺 Interventions
Your thoughts on induction, assisted birth, or C-section if they become necessary
👶 Immediate After Birth
Are you excited to experience skin to skin, and consent to delayed cord clamping? Who’ll cut the cord?
🍼 Feeding Preferences
Breastfeeding, formula, or a mix? Your team is here to support you
💬 Special Requests
Any cultural or spiritual wishes? Let your team know so they can support you respectfully

Remember: Your birth plan is just a guide. It’s ok to change your mind or for things not to go quite the way you'd hoped. The most important thing is that you and your baby are safe and supported 💖
