Becoming a parent is such a sudden shift. Those early weeks and months are a challenging time, and you’re learning fast. With so much attention on the baby, it’s really important to make sure you get some focus as well.
You’ll have amazing days where it all goes smoothly and you feel incredible. And there’ll be tough days, when you’re exhausted and just feel like crying along with your baby. It’s common to feel worry, frustration, and even mad or overwhelmed.
The key is to make space for how you’re feeling (dads and partners, this includes you too!) and keep talking with your support network.

1 Go for a walk. Pop baby in a front pack or pram and head out for fresh air and a change of scene. Even better if the sun’s shining – remember hats and sunscreen!
2 Change your tune. Putting on your favourite music can completely change the vibe. Dance around your lounge if you’re really feeling it!
Luxe Dream Event Hire is dedicated in bringing exquisite decorations and elaborate designs that will make a monumental difference from what may otherwise seem ordinary.

3 Have a shower. Relax into the feel and sound of the water, the scent of the soap and enjoy a smidge of time that’s just for you.
4 Outsource. Ask family or friends to drop off a meal. Invite your parents-in-law to help with a few chores. Get your groceries delivered. Whatever makes your day easier.
5 Treat yourself. Grab a delicious treat and watch some of your all-time fave content. It’s a huge bonus if that also makes you laugh!
6
Phone a friend. Talk to your partner and support network, and let them know you need a break. Can they take charge for a bit?
7
Ask for help. More than a couple of days and you’re not feeling better? Reach out to your doctor, midwife, Plunket nurse or Well Child provider – they’re here to support you.

Elouise Quigan is author of the flipbook “It would really help me if you…” designed to help new parents navigate the rollercoaster of emotions when a new baby arrives.
With your baby needing to be breastfed at least 8-10 times in a 24-hour period and lasting from 10-30 minutes at a time, the way in which you hold your baby and help your baby latch on are key to a smooth and enjoyable breastfeeding experience for you both.
A baby is born with the ability to drink milk in a completely different way to that of an adult. First, a baby tightly attaches their lips and tongue onto the nipple (‘attachment’). They then begin to move their tongue in a wave-like way of motion called ‘Peristaltic tongue movement.’ This motion compresses the areola and breast to extract the milk (‘sucking’). Finally the back of the tongue rises, channelling the milk into the oesophagus (‘swallowing’). These three key steps work together to enable a baby to suck milk smoothly and efficiently.
The way in which you hold your baby and help your baby latch on are key to a smooth and enjoyable breastfeeding experience for you both.
Appropriate latching and positioning will help the baby take in breast milk effectively and reduce or prevent discomfort when breastfeeding.
The way in which you hold your baby and help your baby latch on are key to a smooth and enjoyable breastfeeding experience for you both.
Here’s our Top Tips for a good latch and positioning:
1 Keep your baby’s head and body in a straight line and back well supported.
2 Position the baby so their nose is facing the nipple. This is best achieved if baby and mum are stomach to stomach. The baby’s lower jaw should be touching the bottom of the areola.
3 Hold your baby close to you to ensure your baby takes in as much of your nipple and areola as possible. Touch the baby’s lips with the nipple or areola to stimulate the rooting reflex. Wait until baby opens the mouth, and move the baby closer to the breast.
4 Your baby will usually unlatch when he or she is finished feeding, however, sometimes they will stay on but are not actively sucking. If this happens, slide your finger gently into the side of the baby’s mouth to break the seal.

The first few teeth can be memorable for some parents, not only a new milestone is reached but soothing an irritable child can leave lasting memories. Teething generally occurs between 6-12 months but some children start much earlier and some not until well after their first birthday. Here are some common signs that your child may be teething and some tips on what you can do.
Common signs of teething
• Drooling
• Swollen, sensitive gums
• Irritability or fussiness
• Restless or trouble sleeping
• Chewing, sucking, and biting on anything
• Low grade fever, less than 38C (If there is any lethargy, unexplained rash or any other concerns always contact your doctor immediately)
• Flushed cheeks or rubbing the cheeks
• Eruption cyst – just before the tooth pushes through there may be a blueish, translucent bump in the gum. These themselves do not cause any irritation and disappear as soon as the tooth pops through.
Natural Support for Teething
If you are breastfeeding, nursing is often a reliable way to give your baby comfort and teething is no exception. Other simple solutions include a cold washcloth you have chilled in the refrigerator, pacifiers or soothing toys refrigerated may also offer relief. If your baby is eating solids offering chilled cold foods such as pureed fruit may help soothe. Chamomile is a natural plant that has been used as an herbal remedy for thousands of years to help soothe irritated teeth and some parents find cold Chamomile tea helpful. At night or when out and about its not always so easy to reach for the cold products so you may like to try other natural products available that contain Chamomile and other soothing properties to provide support physically and emotionally during this time. If you are going through an irritating teething process, try to take comfort in the fact that it is just a phase, it will pass and before you know it, they will be asking about the tooth fairy!

In a world striving for sustainable versions of everyday products, bamboo biodegradable nappies stand out as a beacon of hope for eco-conscious parents who also want the convenience of disposable nappies for their little ones.
One of the most compelling arguments for bamboo biodegradable disposable nappies lies in their greatly reduced ecological and environmental impact. Bamboo is a fast-growing plant that requires less water than cotton, plus needs no harmful pesticides or chemicals for cultivation. This makes it an amazingly environmentally friendly choice. And unlike standard disposable nappies that can take centuries to decompose in landfills, bamboo biodegradable disposable nappies break down naturally within a significantly shorter timeframe.
On top of the environmental advantages, bamboo has natural hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties ensuring that baby’s sensitive skin remains free from irritation and rashes when using bamboo biodegradable disposable nappies. The breathability of bamboo also helps regulate temperature, reducing the risk of overheating.
With the use of innovative technology and organic materials, bamboo biodegradable nappies manage to offer superior absorption without relying on the harmful chemicals present in standard disposable nappies. This minimises the chances of nappy rash, keeping baby happy and comfortable throughout the day and night.
Bamboo is a fast-growing plant that requires less water than cotton, plus needs no harmful pesticides or chemicals
for cultivation.
And lastly, given the financial pressures on households these days it’s good to know that Tinkle bamboo biodegradable nappy prices are in line with standard supermarket disposable nappies. Tinkle’s aim has always been to make our biodegradable disposable nappies affordable for everyone, and we are pleased to be able to continually improve our products wherever possible, and provide more eco options as they become available to us also.
Tinkle’s bamboo biodegradable disposable nappies offer an array of benefits that make them a popular choice for environmentally conscious parents and caregivers. With their eco-friendly nature, impressive absorbency, comfort, and best prices available, Tinkle nappies symbolise a conscious effort towards a better future. By opting for biodegradable bamboo disposable nappies you can make a huge contribution to reducing our burden on our planet, leaving a cleaner and healthier world for the next generation. Creating a greener future together.
This delicious Pasticcio tastes better the next day and served warm not hot. The recipe makes a decent amount so you can enjoy the next day and freeze some for days when cooking just seems too hard. If you want to be kind – it can be made up and sorted into freezer packs for new parents is a much better gift than flowers and chocolates!
Pasta
250g macaroni
Drizzle of oil
Chopped parsley
2 unbeaten egg whites
1/2 cup grated cheese
Meat sauce
1/2 cup chopped onions
3 tbsp oil
500g beef
400g chopped tomatoes
150ml glass of red wine
(optional)
½ cup soft breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper
Cheese sauce
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
4 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Salt and pepper
2 egg yolks
1/3 cup grated cheese
Extra grated cheese for the top
Sauté the onions in oil, add mince and tomatoes/wine and cook slowly for 30-40 minutes. It should be thick, not a runny sauce. Add breadcrumbs. Season and reserve.
Boil macaroni and strain and drizzle with oil and when cooled, add the egg whites and 1/2 cup grated cheese. Put aside to cool slightly.
Make the sauce; heat the butter, add flour, blending well. Cook for 1 minute. Add milk, and seasoning. When thick, add egg yolks (unbeaten) and 1/3 cup grated cheese.
Preheat oven to 180C. Butter a large casserole dish, put in the pasta, spread the meat sauce on top and cover with thick cheese sauce.
Top sauce with grated cheese. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Cook’s tip: you can use pasta sauce instead of pureed tomatoes if desired. Serve with a big green salad. Great for all the family, but older palates may enjoy chili sauce as an accompaniment.

Having a baby is, without a doubt, incredibly special. It’s truly life changing. But we know it can also be overwhelming. Daunting. Confusing.
That’s why Bountiful is here to help as you navigate your pregnancy and the early childhood years. Bountiful packs provide every New Zealand parent and parent-to-be with the practical, unbiased and clear information they need.
Expectant parents can find everything they need to know about their pregnancy in our free Pregnancy Pack. The Bountiful Pregnancy Pack, available from your healthcare provider, contains our booklet Your Pregnancy, which includes a week-by-week guide about what to expect as your pregnancy progresses.
Once your baby is born, ask your healthcare provider for your free Bountiful New Mother Pack to get your copy of our booklet Your Baby. It covers all you need to know about the newborn days right through to preschool, from breastfeeding, to sleep, to toddler development and more.
Both Bountiful booklets have been written with expert New Zealand midwives, anaesthetists, Well Child Tamariki Ora nurses, lactation consultants and specialist physiotherapists to provide comprehensive, up-to-date information that New Zealand parents can trust.
Our free Bountiful packs also contain a carefully curated selection of pregnancy and baby product samples to get you started on your parenting journey.
Bountiful is proud to be continuing the Bounty tradition of supporting New Zealand parents. Our director Kasmira’s grandmother Anne Barnett (QSM) introduced Bounty to New Zealand back in 1994. Kasmira took some of her first steps in the Bounty warehouse at her grandmother’s side; today, she’s following in her grandmother’s footsteps by helping to connect all New Zealand families to parenthood with Bountiful. Together, Bounty and Bountiful have supported New Zealand parents through the birth of more than 1.6 million precious babies.
