Until this very moment, you probably weren't noticing the feel of your clothes against your skin, or the hum of the fridge nearby. 👕👂

Why? Because your 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 has habituated to them. It automatically filters out irrelevant information before it even reaches your consciousness. 🧠✨

But here is the crucial thing to remember about your new baby: 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐭. 🚫

Their immature central nervous systems receive everything from their environment, all at once, at 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞. 📢💥

This state of constant 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 is exactly why newborns: 😰 Tire so very quickly. 😳 Startle easily at small noises. 😭 Cry without an "obvious" reason. 🌇 Become colicky and irritable, especially in the evening (the witching hour!).

In the first three months, they rely entirely on us, as caregivers, to be their filter and soothe them in a very overwhelming world. ❤️

👇 Did you realize how much sensory information your baby is absorbing? Let me know below!

Leaving the NICU is meant to feel like the finish line.

For many parents, it’s actually where the hardest part begins.

The research is clear: the transition from hospital to home is a vulnerable period for families of premature babies -emotionally, psychologically, and practically. Not because parents aren’t capable, but because the level of support changes overnight.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Discovery Health to launch Nurture at Home - a step-down care programme designed specifically to support parents after NICU discharge.

Nurture at Home focuses on:
• rebuilding confidence in caregiving
• strengthening parent–infant bonding
• emotional and psychosocial support
• reducing anxiety and unnecessary readmissions

This isn’t about replacing hospital care.
It’s about extending care into the place where families actually live.

Because supporting parents is one of the most powerful ways we support babies.

If your baby has been in NICU - or you support families who have - this transition matters more than we’ve ever acknowledged.

The results of this science is about more than reducing allergies

This research shows the impact of good science on health: a piece of sound research in 2015 has meaningfully shifted the health of babies.

This is massive and is the reason that listening to professional voices is a way better choice than people to share erroneous and sensational drivel.

Some messages I want you to be cautious of in 2026
- the vaccination debate
- guilt inducing posts on attachment parenting, co-sleeping, breastfeeding, gentle parenting- if it makes you feel uncomfortable the science needs to be analysed properly

Rant over.

Please share the ‘science’ that concerns you and let’s debunk it

You know her - she looks like she has it all together. She manages her small childrens’ lives with precision. She is hypervigilant. She may be a little brittle at times. She monitors meals, sleeps and milestones as a religion.

This is a reminder that anxiety looks different for different people and sometimes it’s the hypervigilance, the sleeplessness, the brittle that we need to see.

And we need to hold her and tell her that balls that drop are normal, that mothering is a journey of thriving in the grey, that she is in good company and will be okay and her baby will thrive.

Sometimes it’s not about labelling and pathologising, its just about acknowledging that its hard and she’s ok.

If you are feeling overwhelmed and anxious, you are in good company.

I want to summarise what you need to know:

➡️ most mothers experience a degree of anxiety in the first few months

➡️ it’s more common to experience anxiety than depression

➡️ anxiety, especially later in the first year is associated with perceived delayed milestones and concerns for baby’s health

➡️ telling a mom that it will get better is not helpful.

Two actions:
#1 Reach out to a mom today and tell her she is doing okay and how can you help with the load
# 2 Protect your own mental health but stepping outside for a walk in the garden with your baby

I was fascinated to read this research - that babies in more industrialised countries now have less of this bacteria than babies did historically.

But what can we do? Probiotics may help:

A 2025 study followed breastfed babies between two and four months and found that Bifidobacterium infantis (a bacteria that historically dominated infant guts) can still have an impact when introduced later.

This doesn’t mean every baby needs a probiotic.

But it does remind us that how milk is processed in the gut matters - especially after antibiotics, C-section birth, or in very sterile environments.

Breastmilk is mostly perfect nutrition but sometimes, supporting the microbiome helps it work even better
