Private Birthing lessons with Célia Hughes

(ADVERTISEMENT)

Célia Hughes, midwife and lactation consultant (certified in France).
"As a midwife (from France) I offer private lessons for mothers-to-be or couples.

I usually do at least four sessions during the pregnancy to have enough time to discuss the birth process, the birth plan and the relaxation and breathing techniques (2h-2.5h/each session).

The first part is about pregnancy and the birth process: anatomy and physiology, relaxation and comforting techniques, breathing during labor, and massage.

The second part aims to prepare you for breastfeeding and the post-partum period. I usually start around the 30-32 weeks of pregnancy. I can do sessions in the evening or during the weekend."

Breastfeeding: Baby feeding cues

Lactation consultant Iona Macnab has shared with TPG this very useful chart of baby feeding cues. 

From Iona:

"Be sure to breastfeed baby BEFORE the crying, it's a lot easier when baby is calm. 

Also, be sure to watch the presentation on How Babies Sleep on my website: http://www.ilactation.com/akiajzua3l3kd2i3tiga-1384841847-f5gqxjzukrepb-byazjijkgrcwp8-d/ 

Good breastfeeding information can be found at www.kellymom.com and for parenting tips you can also go to www.askdrsears.com 

But remember, nothing beats a face to face mothers group if you can get out of the house and go, it will revitalize you and give you ideas for your parenting bag of tricks!

My email is blue.sky@gol.com if you have questions."

Paint with Stars Photography

(ADVERTISEMENT)

My name is Lisa, and I am a photographer based in Tokyo. I moved to Japan from the San Francisco Bay Area about four years ago, and I run a blog called "paint with stars". It gives me so much joy to capture special times and everyday moments, preserving them in images filled with color and emotion. So much happens in life, and the ongoing rush can often make us forget. My goal as a photographer is to create pictures which bring us back to those moments, keeping those little instants of time fresh in our hearts.
