All the things I wish I'd known
We attended a lovely and comprehensive feeling Antenatal group. We talked in depth about birth options, we covered basic first Aid, we talked about breast/chestfeeding and changing nappies.
But we didn't cover many of the questions that came up as soon as the baby was born. Such as:
- Why won't he sleep in his cot?
- Where can he sleep?
- What do I do with a newborn all day?
- How do I keep him safe while he's sleeping?
- Am I connecting with my baby?
- How do I communicate with him?
- How do I support a crying baby?
- How do I support a crying me?
I say that last one with a small amount of jest, but really not that much because I cried a LOT in the first few weeks/ months.
And since going on a long learning journey and deep dive into this myself, there is so much I desperately wish I could go back and share with my antenatal and early postpartum self.
For this reason, I have lovingly and carefully crafted all of this into an offering to share with you.
Harriet taught us so much about baby sleep and we entered parenthood with much more confidence! We learnt to recognise our daughter’s cues and it made becoming first time parents a lot less daunting. Her approach is exactly what I was looking for: gentle and compassionate, and of course effective!
