💕 Valentine’s Day Special - The Love Hormone 💕

Oxytocin is often called the “love hormone” - and new parents have the most beautiful, natural ways to boost it 💛

Here are 6 ways to naturally trigger oxytocin in those early days:

👶 Skin-to-skin contact
A wonderful bonding opportunity that promotes oxytocin release for both you and your baby.

🤱 Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding naturally triggers oxytocin.

💛 Cuddle time
Holding and cuddling your baby releases oxytocin and supports brain development. You can’t spoil a baby - cuddle away!

🧣 Baby-wearing
Keeping your baby close in a sling helps them feel secure and connected while freeing up your hands.

👃 Smell your baby’s head
That incredible newborn smell? Instant oxytocin boost! If only we could bottle it!

👐 Baby massage
Gentle touch encourages oxytocin release and has so many benefits for both parent and baby.
In short, keeping your baby close has a powerful, positive impact in those early weeks - helping those lovely feel-good hormones flow 💕

🥄 Is your baby ready to start solids? 👶

Guidelines suggest starting weaning at around 6 months, but babies aren’t robots - they don’t magically become ready overnight just because they reach a certain age

👉 Swipe to see the 3 physiological signs your baby is ready for solids… and 1 sign that you are ready too.

✅ Signs your baby may be ready:

👅 Loss of the tongue-thrust reflex

🪑 Sitting upright with good head control

✋ Bringing food to their mouth accurately

💛 And one important sign you are ready:

🩹 You know what to do if your baby chokes

That’s why learning baby first aid can be such a confidence boost during weaning. Knowing when to step in - and when you can safely let them explore - makes a huge difference 💛

✨ We have LIVE Online Baby First Aid classes running this February, perfect to do from home while preparing for weaning.

👶🤍 Welcoming a new baby is a huge change - especially for older siblings.

Those early weeks can feel big for everyone, so here are some gentle, practical ways to help older children feel secure, loved and included 💛

✨ Helpful ideas:

🤍 Plan the first meeting - if you can, avoid holding the baby at first so you can give cuddles before bringing baby in together

🎁 Prepare visitors - ask friends and family to make a fuss of your older child too

🗣️ Avoid calling them “the big one” - it can feel jarring when expectations suddenly change

🧸 Get them their own baby - a doll they can feed or cuddle helps them feel involved

🤱 Use a sling - keeps baby close and frees your hands for play and cuddles

📦 Create a feeding-time box - special activities just for feeds

💬 Don’t “blame” the baby - try “my hands are busy right now” instead

⏰ Make time for one-to-one moments - even short pockets matter

There’s no perfect way to do this.
Be kind to yourself, take it one day at a time, and remember - love isn’t divided, it grows 🤍

🍫 World Nutella Day – 5th Feb 🍫

If you’re not a baker, baking with little ones can feel a bit overwhelming - but the good news is it really doesn’t need to be complicated 🙌

Baking together is a brilliant activity for children. It naturally supports:

🔢 numeracy
🧪 simple science
✋ fine motor skills
🎨 creativity

To celebrate World Nutella Day, we’re sharing this super simple 3-ingredient brownie recipe - perfect for baking with little helpers 👩‍🍳👶

📝 You’ll need:

🥚 2 eggs
🌾 75g flour
🍫 225g Nutella

👩‍🍳 What to do:

• Preheat oven to 180°C
• Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until smooth
• Lightly grease a baking tray and pour in the mixture
• Optional: sprinkle walnuts on top
• Bake for 15-20 minutes
• Check with a knife - if it comes out clean, they’re ready
• Leave to cool, cut into squares and enjoy 😋

If you give this one a go, let us know how you get on! 💛

🥜 Nut Allergy Safety Note
Please remember Nutella contains hazelnuts.

If your child has a nut allergy (or
if you’re unsure), do not use Nutella and choose a nut-free chocolate spread instead.

Always check labels carefully and avoid cross-contamination when cooking with children.

🌍 World Cancer Day 🌍

Today is a gentle reminder of how important it is to know your own body and what feels normal for you 🤍
Small changes are often nothing to worry about - but you are the expert on your own body. If something feels different, lasts longer than expected, or just doesn’t feel quite right, trusting your instincts and getting it checked can bring reassurance and peace of mind.

These conversations don’t need to feel scary.

Early checks are about care, not fear - and more often than not, they lead to reassurance 💛

Today, we’re thinking of everyone affected by cancer, directly or indirectly.

Sending love, kindness, and support to you 🤍
