Portfolio Example

Each Portfolio entry (like this one) can house any content you would like. A few examples of what you can add are text, images, buttons, a slider, or an image gallery.

You can also categorize your Portfolio entries into multiple categories. For example, if you’re a photographer, you could have categories for Weddings, Engagements, and Families. Or if you’re a designer, you have categories for Brand Design and Web Design. Each Portfolio category has its own separate page containing multiple entries under that category, similar to how post categories work in WordPress.

# 7 Tips for getting better sleep with your newbor # 7 Tips for getting better sleep with your newborn

When I support new parents with their newborn, I try to implement a few habits from the beginning to help the baby and the mother sleep better at night.

💤 At night, use as little light as possible. I usually recommend small night lights that don’t interfere with melatonin production. While babies don’t produce melatonin until they are around 3 months old, I feel it makes it easier for the baby and the mother to fall back asleep.

💤 Minimal movement at night: I usually set up everything I need for the night close to my baby’s and my bed to avoid walking from room to room at night, disturbing 'the night peace'⁠⠀

💤 Keep the area quiet and peaceful. Speak softly, like whispering, to avoid any loud noises that could disturb the calm.

💤 There is no need to change wet nappies at night unless the nappy is very full. Soiled nappies need to be changed, though. ⁠⠀

💤 Swaddle your baby: A swaddle keeps your baby’s arms close to its body to inhibit their startle reflex and helps your baby to feel calm. I like the Grosnug and Love to Dream™️ Swaddle. ⁠⠀

💤 Fresh air: A walk in the afternoon or just time spent outside can help your baby (and you) sleep better at night. ⁠⠀⠀

💤 White Noise: Play it during nap times and throughout the night.⁠⠀

If you have any questions, please ask in the comments below.

Have a great day (and hopefully a good night).

Part of my role as a newborn care specialist is ba Part of my role as a newborn care specialist is bathing babies and showing new parents how to bathe their babies.

Often, I am there for the baby's first bath, which is a special moment for all parents. I find it very important to make bath time a relaxing and calm part of the baby's day because it helps in creating a soothing environment. 

⁠⠀

✨ Make sure you have everything you need in reach including being prepared for the unexpected.

✨ Prepare the bath and check the water temperature (should be 37-38° C).⁠⠀

⁠⠀

✨ Undress baby, taking off the nappy last.⁠⠀

⁠⠀

✨ Bath baby, 5 minutes are more than enough for a newborn and I usually stretch it up to 10 minutes once the baby gets to the 12 month mark as long as the baby is comfortable. I also like to cover the baby's body with a muslin or flannel to keep them warm. ⁠⠀

⁠⠀

✨ Dry baby, including all skin creases, including armpits, groin, under the chin, around the neck and behind the ears. I like to use a blow dryer for it.⁠⠀

⁠⠀

✨ I usually use coconut oil or other any other baby-friendly organic oils to give the baby a massage before dressing them. ⁠⠀

⁠⠀

✨ Dress baby. A bath can make your baby hungry, so you might need to feed after. ⁠⠀

⁠⠀

⁠⠀

📝 I normally recommend waiting for the baby's first bath as long as delayed bathing has many benefits. Let me know if you would like to know more about this. ⁠⠀

⁠⠀

⌚️ My bath time routine usually lasts around 30 minutes, sometimes a bit longer as I really like to take my time and not rush the baby.⁠⠀

Also, I prefer to bath babies, especially for their first bath in a big sink, usually in the kitchen. Less strain on your back and you won't need a separate baby bath. Later, your baby can use an infant bath seat like the Angelcare one.

The majority of my clients are disappointed with t The majority of my clients are disappointed with the information they receive from doctors and midwives about breastfeeding. Often, the impression is that breastfeeding goes smoothly right from the beginning, which is not always the case.

For the first 2 to 5 days after your baby is born, you will produce a small amount of colostrum, which is all a healthy term baby needs. Colostrum is a thick, rich milk that is high in nutrients. Around day 3 through 5, your milk will come in.

However, some things can cause a delay in your milk coming in:

➖ Severe stress

➖ Caesarean (surgical) delivery

➖ Bleeding after birth

➖ Obesity

➖ Infection or illness with fever

➖ Diabetes

➖ Thyroid conditions

➖ Strict or prolonged bed rest during pregnancy

Milk supply depends on demand. Feeding frequently, when your baby shows hunger cues, is an excellent way to build up a good supply. Your baby should latch on correctly to be able to compress the milk ducts in the breast and remove the appropriate amount of milk.

If you have a delay in your milk coming, don't feel discouraged. You can continue to express milk with a breast pump or by hand and often breastfeed, even if you have to supplement with formula for a few days. Babies who are premature or jaundiced are especially likely to need formula temporarily. (I know that supplementing with formula in the first few days is controversial, so please speak to your doctor, midwife or a lactation consultant for advice.)

Please don't be afraid to ask for help if your milk supply is ever a concern. The sooner you do, the better. You can contact your midwife who can recommend breastfeeding professionals to you.

If you're expecting a baby in Switzerland, finding If you're expecting a baby in Switzerland, finding a midwife can be an important part of your prenatal and postnatal care. Here are some tips and advice on how to find the right midwife for you:

1. Start early: Midwives in Switzerland can be in high demand, so it's important to start your search early. Ideally, you should start looking for a midwife as soon as you find out that you're pregnant.

2. Ask for recommendations: Talk to your healthcare provider, friends, family, and other moms in your community for recommendations on midwives they have worked with.

3. Check online directories: There are several online directories of midwives in Switzerland, including the Swiss Midwives Association, which can help you find midwives in your area.

4. Consider your needs: Consider what kind of care you want and what kind of midwife would be the best fit for you. For example, if you're planning a home birth, you'll want to find a midwife who is experienced in home birth.

5. Meet with potential midwives: Once you've narrowed down your list of potential midwives, schedule meetings with them to get to know them better. Ask about their experience, philosophy of care, and availability during your pregnancy and postpartum period.

Remember, finding the right midwife is an important part of your prenatal and postnatal care. Take the time to research and find a midwife who you feel comfortable with and who can provide the care and support you need during this special time.

**Need assistance finding the right midwife?**

Part of my job is finding midwives for my clients, both in Switzerland and other countries. I have also worked with a few midwives as a newborn care specialist and can recommend those I know well. If you need assistance finding a midwife or other maternity professionals, do not hesitate to reach out.

How to make the first 30 days with your newborn ea How to make the first 30 days with your newborn easier - Part I

・Stock your freezer up with food

Stock up your freezer with homemade meals before the baby is born or ask friends and family who offer help to bring prepared meals that only need to be reheated.

・Get all the sleep you can get

Easier said than done, but try to get as much sleep/rest as possible. Chores can wait. No, really.

・Book postpartum support

Consider hiring a postpartum doula or maternity nurse. While the latter focuses on the baby, a postpartum doula will look after you so that you can better care for your baby. They offer emotional support, help with cooking and other chores, and really make such a difference in your first few weeks postpartum.

・Find a photographer before your baby is born**

Many of my clients realize after they come home from the hospital that they haven’t looked for a photographer yet and on short notice many good photographers are often booked out already.

・Backup is important

This is something hardly anyone ever thinks about, but look into your phone/laptop backup options. You will take a lot of snaps of your newborn baby, and it’s important to back these up regularly so when it comes to the worst, you won’t lose all these precious photos.

・Learn your baby’s cues

While babies cannot speak, they give us various physical cues for hunger, tiredness, and discomfort. Being aware of these cues and their meanings will make for a happier baby and your postpartum period less stressful.

・Consider Simethicone

I always recommend to my clients to have some simethicone drops ready. The digestive system of your baby is still developing, and the drops help a lot with gas release and improve the comfort of your baby.

To new beginnings... Where have all the posts gon To new beginnings...

Where have all the posts gone? They're now tucked away in the archive, but don't worry! I'm in the process of giving the old content a fresh, new design. This time, I'm aiming for a more flexible and less rigid structure. In the past, I focused too much on design elements and not enough on the content itself. Chasing the perfect look often kept me from sharing the content I really wanted to post. I have so much admiration for everyone who stays active on social media without any help—it's truly impressive. My content is all about sharing my knowledge and expertise, so it's something only I can genuinely provide. My schedule is always jam-packed with client work, and keeping up with Instagram is incredibly time-consuming. Despite these challenges, I'm committed to sharing valuable insights and staying connected with you all.

I am looking forward to be more active on here and always happy to answer any questions you might have about anything pregnancy and baby related.
