MAKING SENSE OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE FIRST YEAR SERIES
YOUR BABY ON DAY 1
Understanding Your Newborn from the Very Beginning
The moment your baby enters the world, they begin one of the most remarkable transitions of their life. Moving from the warmth, containment and predictability of the womb to a world filled with new sensations, sounds, lights and experiences is no small task.
In this session, we explore what life is like for a newborn in the first hours and days after birth. You’ll learn about newborn behaviour, reflexes, sleep patterns, feeding cues, sensory experiences and early regulation. We discuss why newborns behave the way they do, what is considered typical, and how parents can respond in ways that support healthy development and attachment from the very beginning.
Understanding your baby’s early needs can help reduce anxiety, build confidence and lay the foundation for a strong parent-child relationship.
In this session, you will learn:
• What babies experience during the transition from womb to world
• Common newborn behaviours and what they mean
• Early reflexes and their role in development
• Newborn sleep and feeding patterns
• The importance of containment, touch and regulation
• How to support bonding and attachment from day one
Because understanding your baby starts from the very first day.
