24.01.2022 The missing fourth trimester . . The first three months of a baby’s life is termed as the fourth trimester. Newborns have some abilities that demonstrate their readiness to be in the world, but these notwithstanding, for the first three months, our babies are so immature they would really benefit if they could hop back inside whenever they get overwhelmed (Karp, 2002, p.8). .... In the womb, the baby was enveloped by the warm wall of the uterus, packed tight into the fetal position and rocked and jiggled for much of the day. The least parents can do is to make the baby feel at home by surrounding them with the comforting sensations they enjoyed twenty-four hours a day in the womb. . Karp (2002, p. 9) suggests that mimicking conditions in the uterus not only comforts the baby but also turns on the calming reflex. . . #newborn #newbornbaby #parenting #parenthood #calmingreflex #babies #babylife #newborncare #infant #infantmassage #infantmassageinstructor #babymassageclass

23.01.2022 CAN YOU SPOIL A BABY? . . If you hold him too much, it will ‘spoil’ the baby, start teaching him to self-soothe now, before it’s too late. These were things said to me when my baby was a newborn. People including family members questioned whether I was going to spoil my baby by holding him all the time. Holding my baby for hours a day was not exactly a choice, it was a necessity. If I put my baby down, he would cry very loudly. Every instinct in my body told me that if my... baby was crying, he needed to be picked up. And I went with those instincts, despite the fact that I sometimes received judgment. . It is not possible to spoil the baby by letting him stay in our arms for hours. He has just spent nine months in the womb where he was carried all the time. He was lavished with these sensations twenty-four hours a day- up until the moment of birth. Even if the baby is held twelve hours a day now, it’s a giant reduction from when he was in utero. The need to be held and cuddled is as much a need as any of the other things. It's how they build attachments and learn that they are safe. . There is a lot of research to back up the claim that we cannot spoil a baby. In fact, holding babies is actually vital for their health and development. Responding to the baby’s need will not teach him bad habits. It’s important for the baby to learn that the mother will come whenever he cries. This message of predictable, consistent love and support is exactly what will nurture his trust in his mother (Karp, 2002). . . Research shows babies who have consistent and nurturing relationships early in life quickly develop secure attachment to their caregivers. These babies cope better with stress as pre-schoolers, tend to get along better with other children and are more likely to be physically and emotionally healthier as adults. . . . . . #newborn #newbornbaby #infant #infancy #love #care #nurturing #happybaby #healthybaby #parenting #parenthood #mother #motherhood #thepoweroftouch #sensorynourishment #mom #mummyandbaby #loved #lovable #bonding #attachment #parentalwarmth #youcantspoilababy

13.01.2022 Sensory stimulation is the stuff of which the infant’s brain is built. From Africa to Bali, from New Guinea to the Brazilian Amazon, tribal mothers in warm climates carry their unclothed babies nestled against their bare breast. Where mother goes, baby goes, skin against skin, creating a sensory feast of motherly touch, warmth, pressure, movement, sound, smell, sight, and taste. Primitive! some say.... Life doesn’t get any better than this, say their babies. . . Skin-to-skin is the most meaningful human contact.

13.01.2022 Why do we ask babies permission prior to starting a massage? . . Asking for permission before starting a massage offers the baby respect, recognition that they are unique beings with their own needs and encourages them to communicate their needs to us in an interactive way. .... Baby massage is a mutual agreement between parent and baby and is a reciprocal exchange of love through touch. . Asking for permission also helps the baby learn that his choice will be acknowledged, understood, validated and honoured. . . #infantmassage #babymassage #babymassageclass #baby #nurture #babylove #touch #love #happybaby See more

07.01.2022 . . . . The best time to massage your baby is when the baby is quiet, alert and well rested. This can be at any time of the day, a time that suits both the mother and the baby. The baby should be awake and settled, a time when the baby is not too hungry or too full. A massage before bedtime will help the baby to wind down after the stimulation of the day and become calm, ready for sleep.... . . #infantmassage #babymassage #babymassageclasses #babymassageclassesmelbourne #baby #mother #motherhood #love #care #nourish #babyandmom #touchispowerful #tactile

02.01.2022 Everyone wants to hold the baby but who wants to hold the mother? . Motherhood is a rollercoaster of emotions. .... All mothers love the fruit of their womb. But infants are tiny parcels of need. . . Do you know someone who just became a mother? A friend? Colleague? Neighbour? Cousin? Check on them. Ask them how they are? Visit them. Buy them coffee. Cook them a nice meal. . A text or a call asking how are you today, mama? can go such a long way. . All they need is that call, a nice shower and some time to enjoy a hot drink in peace! . . . . #mother #motherhood #motherhoodthroughinstagram #motherdaughterlove #mothercare #mothering #mothers #motherandbaby #motherly #mothership #motherhoodjourney
