Feed your baby whenever they show hunger signs

Active play should be encouraged from birth and will change as babies grow into toddlers and preschoolers.

Breastfeeding can be difficult in the first few weeks. Getting help early is important if you have problems with milk supply, engorged breasts, and sore nipples.

Skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding within the first hour after birth is recommended as it helps with breast milk supply, bonding, and baby's development.

If you are feeling sad and depressed after birth, make sure to talk to your family doctor or child and family health nurse to get the care and support you need.
