One, four and six week baby checks monitor growth and developmental milestones for your baby.
Breastfeeding
Various positions for breastfeeding facilitates effective milk transfer.
Sleeping babies
Sleeping through the night is not something that needs to be taught…. It’s a developmental milestone. Some babies will meet this milestone much earlier than others.
Let down
The let-down reflex is where the hormone oxytocin allows milk to be pushed out of your milk-making tissue into your milk ducts and through your nipple so that your milk is available for your baby.
Positioning & Attachment
It is important to ensure that your baby is positioned and attached well throughout feeds so that your nipples don’t become sore and damaged.

Comfort feeding provides premature babies with an introduction to breastfeeding and bonding.
Unsettled
If your baby is unsettled allowing them to comfort feed can help to give you both some much needed peace and quiet.
