Your Baby Week By Week
Your unique baby will develop according to their very own blueprint. However, there are some typical stages which most full-term babies will progress through around the same age. Babies born pre-term will often reach the same stage when we adjust their age to gestational age.
Parents are often challenged at similar stages: as breastfeeding is established, as sleep evolves and changes, as crying and unsettledness occur.
So here we have gathered information you might find useful around about the stage you might need it.
Welcome to your baby, week by week .
Here you will find the first three months - stay tuned for more soon!
Week Seven
Breastfeeding mothers might notice a significant shift in how their breasts produce milk over the coming weeks.
In the first weeks of breastfeeding, breasts fill with milk between feeds, becoming fuller and firmer until the release of the next feed, when this filling cycle begins again. This stage of lactation probably has some protective factor while breastfeeding is being established in the early weeks, protecting the supply while your baby masters effective attachment and removal of milk.
Week Six
Just when you might be starting to feel a bit more confident about caring for your baby - nature has a surprise for you!
Welcome to Wonder Weeks!
As well as a physical growth spurt, common around 4-6 weeks, this week will see significant brain development underway. If your baby was born on her due date, around five weeks she will experience the first Wonder Week.
Week Two: days 14-20
This can be the week when you can hit the wall so be gentle with yourselves and call on any offers of help. But the help you need isn’t someone to sit holding the baby while you do housework and make them a cup of tea! So be selective about who you invite into your space and say no when you need to.
