A unique appearance
Your baby has just spent 9 months in water. It is normal for them to have redness, a bit of lanugo (downy hair), or a head slightly misshapen from delivery. Explore baby's appearance in detail to stop worrying unnecessarily.

The first days
The first days
of a whole lifetime.
Welcome to the extraordinary adventure of parenting. In 2026, we know that the first weeks are much more than a simple discovery: they lay the foundations for your child's future health and happiness.
"Every small act of love today builds the world of tomorrow."
The Science of the First 1000 Days
From conception to the second birthday, the first 1000 days constitute a unique window of opportunity. In 2026, neurosciences confirm that it is during this period that the brain develops at lightning speed, creating millions of synaptic connections every second. What your baby experiences now will influence their physical and mental health for the rest of their life.
Brain Plasticity
A newborn's brain is a sponge. Every interaction, every look, and every caress stimulates key areas of cognitive and emotional development.
Attachment Bond
The emotional security you provide is the foundation of their future self-confidence. Learn more about the attachment bond.
Epigenetics
The environment (nutrition, pollution, stress) interacts with genes. Offering a healthy setting from birth is a sustainable investment.

Discovering your newborn
Archaic reflexes
At birth, your child has fascinating automatic movements. The Moro reflex (startle), automatic walking, or sucking are signs of a healthy neurological system. Discover how to stimulate them on our page dedicated to birth reflexes.
Did you know?
Smell is the most developed sense at birth. Your baby recognizes the smell of your skin and your milk in just a few minutes. It's the beginning of the attachment bond.
Taking care of yourself to better take care of them
We often talk about the baby, but what about you? Birth is a seismic upheaval. Fatigue, doubts, and the "baby blues" are not failures, but physiological and emotional stages.
01
Matrescence
The passage from woman to mother is a major psychological transition, comparable to adolescence. Give yourself patience and kindness.
02
Fragmented Sleep
A newborn's rhythm does not know day and night. In 2026, we encourage safe "shared sleep" and synchronized naps.
Practical Advice
- ✔ Delegate housekeeping (meals, cleaning).
- ✔ Limit visits for the first 15 days.
- ✔ Express your emotions, don't stay alone.
- ✔ Trust your parental instinct.

Reassuring medical follow-up
From the first hours, a series of caring checks ensures your child's health. The Guthrie test, eye and hearing exams, and weight monitoring are essential for a peaceful start.
Collective Support: The 1000 Days Houses
In 2026, the State strengthened its commitment to families. "1000 Days Houses" are blooming across the country. These are free welcoming places where you can meet experts (pediatricians, psychologists, lactation consultants) and share your experience with other parents.
2026 measures for parents
- ● Extension of paternity and second parent leave.
- ● Mandatory and reimbursed postnatal interviews.
- ● Priority access to innovative childcare methods.

Your frequently asked questions
Why is my baby crying even though they've eaten and slept? ▼
Crying is your baby's only language. It could be a need for physical contact, sensory overstimulation, or simply an emotional release at the end of the day. Using a baby wrap is often a magical solution.
Is it possible to hold my baby too much? ▼
No. In 2026, science is formal: you don't "spoil" a newborn. Responding to their cries and carrying them strengthens their sense of security, which will make them more independent later. This is the basis of the attachment bond.
When should I worry about temperature? ▼
For a newborn under 3 months old, any fever above 38°C requires an immediate consultation. Also monitor their behavior: if they are lethargic or refuse to feed, contact a professional.
