Good news for coffee lovers! ☕✨ You don't have to give up your morning cup entirely during pregnancy. Up to 200mg of caffeine per day is generally considered safe, which is about one 12 oz cup of coffee. Every pregnancy is different, so be sure to check with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

In those very first weeks, your baby is still adjusting to life outside the womb.

At one month old, development is still very early, but you may start to notice small changes like lifting their head briefly during tummy time, responding to sounds, following light or objects, and beginning to recognize familiar faces. Some babies may even offer their first little smiles!

It’s important to remember that every baby develops at their own pace, and these early milestones are simply a guide to help you understand what you might see during this stage.

Here at The Baby Academy, our classes are designed to support you through every stage, from newborn care and early milestones, plus guidance as you begin introducing solids ❤️

Because having the right information can help you feel more confident through each step of your baby’s development.

We'll go first: snacks. For the baby... and definitely not for us 😅🍪 What's always lurking in yours?

You’ve done the bath, the feed, the swaddle, the white noise… and they’re still WIDE awake 😅

Here’s the one thing that can make a big difference.

Watch for sleepy cues and respond quickly.

Yawning, rubbing eyes, staring off into space, or suddenly going quiet are all early signs your baby is ready for sleep. The window is short, so once you see them, start winding things down.

If you miss it, you can end up in overtired territory, where falling asleep actually gets harder. It sounds backwards, but the more tired a baby gets, the harder it is for them to switch off.

If you feel like you’re always missing it, try moving bedtime a little earlier. It can feel counterintuitive, but it often leads to better, longer stretches of sleep.

A simple, consistent wind down routine can also help more than you’d think. Bath, feed, dim lights, white noise, bed. Repeating the same steps each night helps signal to your baby that it’s time to sleep.

You’ve got this 🌙

The birth plan is sorted. The hospital bag is packed. But that car park though...
