Wrapping Your Baby
I am often asked about wrapping and told that my bub doesn’t like it – this is why it’s important to persist with it. Especially in the early days with settling.
A variety of baby wrapping techniques appropriate to the baby’s developmental age can be used based on the principles of safe wrapping.
For example, a younger baby (less than 3 months) may have their arms included in the wrap to reduce the effects of the moro or ‘startle’ reflex; whilst an older baby (more than 3 months) may have their lower body wrapped with their arms free, to allow the baby access to their hands and fingers which promotes self soothing behavior, while still reducing the risk of the baby turning to the tummy position. the moro or ‘startle’ reflex should have disappeared by the time the baby is 4-5 months of age.
Our experienced team of Gold Coast Midwives are more than happy to assist with information for all of our new mums. Contact us today.

A Lotus birth is the practice of leaving the umbilical cord uncut, so the baby remains attached to his/her placenta until the cord naturally separates at the umbilicus this usually take 3-10 days.
Breastfeeding
When you feel your breasts changing and filling, It means there are about 12 hours until the arrival of the milk. Your baby will feed frequently. They may be on and off the breast continually for the next 24hours. Let them feed unrestricted, they are inducing your milk flow.
