About Adored Parenting

Preparing for the arrival of your baby in the last few weeks of pregnancy. What to expect in the lead up to labour, preparing your space, preparing your mind, preparing your body.

Your labour of love in the first few days. Feeding, settling, bathing, nappies and normal newborn behaviour. Adjusting to life as a family, defining roles, accepting help and setting boundaries.

Communicating with your baby, feeding cycles, sleep habits and expectations. 

Swaddles, sleep sacks, resettling and baby wearing. Understanding, protecting and nurturing your newborn.

Breastfeeding, bottle feeding, combined feeding, complementary feeding and cluster feeding. 

Meet Amanda Dermody from Canberra Hypnobirthing and Lactation Care and discover supports available.

 Blocking out the noise and opinions and building your confidence as a new parent and the ultimate expert on your baby. Tuning in and responding to your baby's cues, trusting your instincts and building a lifelong bond. 

The identity shift of becoming a parent, the transformation into family life and your relationship with your changing body. 

Making time for each other, gender roles and creating a new normal together. Looking after your mental health and managing your expectations.
