"I’m 29 now. Married to Franziska. We’ve got 3 kids. She carried and birthed them like a superhero. And here’s what I wish I knew about being a supportive partner in those first, chaotic years of parenthood:

1️⃣ She carried the baby IN her belly for 9 months.
So you carry the baby ON your belly every chance you get. Nap time, late-night walks, whatever. It helps her recover. It bonds you to your baby in ways you can’t even imagine.

2️⃣ She’s breastfeeding.
It’s beautiful, but it’s also exhausting. So change every diaper you can. From diaper #1 onward. You’ll get over the grossness. What you’ll gain is balance, teamwork, and a wife who brags about you when her friends complain about their absent partners.

3️⃣ Make the coffee.
Even if it gets cold and she forgets it. Even if she falls back asleep before touching it. She was up all night. That small gesture says, “I see you. I’ve got you.”

4️⃣ Tell her she’s beautiful.
Not just when she feels it. Especially when she doesn’t. She literally rearranged her organs and gained weight to give you a child. Remind her she’s strong. Remind her she’s a superhero.

5️⃣ Take the heat.
Hormones — before birth and after — are no joke. Some days she won’t feel like herself. She might snap. Don’t snap back. Be her rock. Normal will return, and she’ll remember the man who stayed steady when she couldn’t.

👉 Marriage + parenting isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up. Over and over. Choosing each other again and again through the mess.

To every soon-to-be dad out there: this is the stuff that matters. Not being perfect. Not “helping” like a sidekick. But being a true partner. A steady rock. A present father."

✨C'est avec une grande tristesse que nous apprenons le décès du Dr Michel Odent, une figure emblématique du mouvement de la naissance respectée et de l’allaitement. Son approche novatrice et sa vision humaniste ont transformé la périnatalité, inspirant des générations de professionnels et de parents à travers le monde.

Son héritage perdurera à travers ses nombreux ouvrages, ses recherches et l'impact profond qu'il a eu sur la manière dont nous considérons la naissance.

Nos pensées accompagnent sa famille et ses proches en ces moments difficiles.

All babies lose some weight in the first 24 hours. If you received IV fluids during labour, your baby may lose even more, not because of feeding, but because the fluids make the birth weight look higher than it really is.

That’s why the 24-hour weight is the most accurate starting point for tracking growth.

Researchers in Canada found that using the 24-hour weight instead of the birth weight helped more babies stay exclusively breastfed in their first few days of life.

Growing well = getting enough milk. ❤️

For NICU families, providing breast milk is more than nourishment—it’s a powerful act of love and healing.

If your baby is in the NICU:
- Start expressing milk early and often—8 to 12 times a day helps build supply
- Ask for lactation support and a hospital-grade pump
- Practice kangaroo care (skin-to-skin contact) to boost bonding and milk production
- Request your baby’s first oral feed to be at the breast
- Stay hydrated, nourished, and give yourself grace—every drop of milk matters

Your breast milk is uniquely designed for your baby’s needs. Let’s celebrate and support NICU parents this month and every month.

RSV season is coming… and this is your friendly reminder: NEVER kiss a baby that isn’t yours. 🛑

RSV is very dangerous for babies—especially newborns and preemies. What might feel like a simple cold to you could land a baby in the hospital!

As we head into fall, let’s all be mindful:
🚫 Don’t kiss babies that aren’t yours
🧼 Wash your hands before holding them
🤧 Stay away if you’re feeling under the weather
👂 Respect parents’ boundaries—they’re protecting their little one, not trying to be rude

It’s not about being overprotective. It’s about keeping our tiniest humans safe. 💗

Babies cry to communicate, not to manipulate💜

legs are NOT a reason to forward face! 👏🏼

“their legs will break in a car accident!"
“they have to be uncomfortable!"

wrong!
rear facing little ones are very comfy and WAY safer than you might imagine! 🥰

safety 🚨 instead of getting jolted forward (like everyone else foward facing), rear facing children scrunch up in their car seat and into the back of it. this way, the impact is absorbed mostly by the back of the seat, distributing the remaining forces along the child's entire back. the best part is that because they're facing backward, their head, neck, and torso all move in sync, avoiding whiplash!

comfort ❤️ imagine sitting on a tall stool with your legs just hanging there. do you let them dangle or find a cozy spot to rest them? most of us prefer the latter because dangling legs can be seriously uncomfortable and affect blood flow. rear facing kids never have to worry about that; they always have a snug spot to rest their little legs. forward facing kiddos often end up kicking the back of your car seat, trying to seek some comfort.

remember your little ones have incredible flexibility (unlike most of us now 😅) and their joints aren't fully formed yet. they can twist and turn in ways that would make us scream in pain! the legroom in a rear facing seat doesn't bother them at all 🙌🏼

don’t let myths about their legs influence your decision to keep them in the safest spot in the car for as long as their car seat allows! ✨

Life is too short to get irritated at a toddler for being a toddler.
They make messes, they spill things, they yell, they cry, and they push you to your limits, but that's how they are supposed to act.
They are learning how to regulate emotions and use fine motor skills. Encourage them and guide them, don't reprimand them for accidents or outbursts.
It's our job to break the cycle of pointless punishment and emotional trauma.
They are kids, and kids will be KIDS.

all children will eventually sleep alone. all children will eventually stop asking to be carried or cuddled.

before we know it, the toys will disappear as they outgrow them, and they won't need us quite as much as they did the day before.

so don’t let anyone make you feel bad for wanting to soak up every ounce of parenthood that you get. 🤍
