Planning to breastfeed but not sure how to start preparing?  Here is a list of our breastfeeding tips for first-time parents to help you prepare.   

Your baby still has some growing to do but as of today, they’re around 24 cm long from head to bottom, big enough laying down to fit on your forearm between your hand and your elbow.

Your little one is around 25 cm long from head to bottom and already weights about 1 kilogram, approximately a third of their birth weight.

As you inch your way towards the finish line – you will be giving birth in about ten weeks! – your baby is still growing by leaps and bounds, and most of their organs are fully functioning.

Every day, your baby develops more, getting ready to make an entrance into the world in just under 10 weeks. Has it gone fast or is the time creeping by for you? Every mum feels it differently.

At 31 weeks pregnant, your baby is the size of a leaf of kale. They will start getting into position for birth soon. Learn more.

Your baby is still developing as you head into the final lap, but it’s mostly perfecting and polishing from here on out. They are getting ready to meet you!

About six weeks. That’s how long you’ve got left before you get to meet the little person growing inside you. Amazing, right? We think so. Read on to know more about this week. 

Things are slowing down a little in your belly now. That’s because everything is getting close to being developed! Your baby is around 30 cm from head to bottom and weighs over 2 kilos.

From now until your little gem makes their grand entrance, your baby will continue to grow.  They are already 34cm long from head to bottom and weighs about 2.5 kilograms!

Your baby tends to keep their head down, arms crossed, and legs folded up on their chest as there’s not much room to move around. They’ll be very glad to get out and stretch!

Two more weeks! Yes, it’s true, you and your little one will soon be making each other’s acquaintance.  Everything is pretty much in place. Read more about this week. 

You might have felt a few contractions already and were wondering if that was “it”. Don’t worry, you won’t miss the start of labour! Read more about this next to last week.
