NEW ARRIVAL<br />

Try this!<br />

postnatal pack<br />

The early days of parenthood<br />

can be quite a ride – a brilliant<br />

mixture of thrilling and<br />

terrifying. The Positive Birth<br />

Company, which runs a hugely<br />

popular online hypnobirthing<br />

course, is aiming to make it<br />

a lot easier for new mums<br />

through its online Postpartum<br />

Pack. This includes a series of<br />

video workshops, all run by<br />

experts, to guide you through<br />

everything from maternal<br />

mental health and physical<br />

recovery to infant feeding<br />

and sleeping and relationship<br />

advice. It also gives access to<br />

a private online community<br />

of 75,000 mums, many of<br />

whom were involved in<br />

determining the topics the<br />

new course should cover, so<br />

there’s sure to be advice at<br />

hand when you need it most<br />

– probably at 2am!<br />

Do you feel a pang of excitement when you<br />

receive your weekly pregnancy update<br />

email? OK, hands up who reads ahead!<br />

Discovering your baby is now the size of<br />

a grape or has just started making facial<br />

expressions can really help you feel like<br />

you know your little one, and the newly<br />

updated The Wonder Weeks (£13.99,<br />

Norton & Co) is brilliant at furthering<br />

your knowledge once your baby<br />

has arrived. While most of us know<br />

there will be sleepless nights ahead,<br />

we don’t know exactly when or why<br />

these will occur – this book helps you<br />

understand the developmental leaps<br />

your baby is going through, making it<br />

so much easier for you to handle.<br />
