Night Feeding Tips for Newborns 🌙

Night feedings can be challenging, but they play an important role in helping your baby grow strong. Here are some simple tips to make them easier:

1️⃣ Keep lights dim
Use a soft night light to help baby stay sleepy.

2️⃣ Stay calm and quiet
Avoid loud talking or play—keep the mood soothing.

3️⃣ Prepare feeding essentials nearby
Keep diapers, wipes, and burp cloths within reach to save time.

4️⃣ Feed on demand
Newborns need milk every 2–3 hours—trust their cues.

5️⃣ Burp gently
Burp after each feed to prevent discomfort and spit-ups.

6️⃣ Keep cuddles short
Comfort your baby, but try not to fully wake them—encourage returning to sleep.

7️⃣ Take care of yourself
Stay hydrated and rest whenever possible during the day.

💗 You’re doing amazing, mama!

A REVOLUTION IN EDUCATION
The discovery that the child has a mind able to absorb on its own account produces a revolution in education. We can now understand easily why the first period in human development, in which character is formed, is the most important. At no other age has the child greater need of an intelligent help, and any obstacle that impedes his creative work will lessen the chance he has of achieving perfection. We should help the child…because he is endowed with great creative energies, which are of their nature so fragile as to need a loving and intelligent defence. To these energies we want to bring help… When we understand that the energies belong to an unconscious mind, which has to become conscious through work and through an experience of life gained in the world, we realize that the mind of the child in infancy is different from ours, that we cannot reach it by verbal instruction, nor intervene directly in the process of its passing from the unconscious to the conscious – the process of making human faculty – then the whole concept of education changes. It becomes a matter of giving help to the child’s life, to the psychological development of man…
This is the new path on which education has been put; to help the mind in its process of development, to aid its energies and strengthen its many powers.

Thought for the weekend...

When we birth, we don’t just birth babies.

We birth ourselves, we birth our families and we reshape our lives.

It’s so important to get good information on which to base pregnancy and birth decisions.

Because they can affect us for a very long time.

Perhaps the rest of your life.

It's also important to understand that it doesn't matter what the guideline says, or what anyone else thinks.

What matters is what's right for you.

This quote comes from one of my books, which helps people understand birth-related decision making and how to navigate your options.

it's called What's Right For Me? Making decisions in pregnancy and childbirth.
