THE FIRST SIX WEEKS

The First Six Weeks is unique in its focus on this initial period in a baby’s life and on creating the habits that create longterm, lifelong benefits and get you off to the best possible start.

As an experienced midwife, Cathryn ‘Midwife Cath’ Curtin has delivered babies for 40 years; including the babies of several high profile and celebrity couples. New mothers have extolled the life changing, sleep-inducing, happiness-creating impact that Cath has on households after newborns are delivered and brought home. Now, Cath is putting all the wisdom she learned over those years down on paper and giving parents everywhere the knowledge that they need to lay the best foundations for a child’s life. From teaching them how to sleep and eat, to advice on how parents can cope, this book will ease the worries of newborn parents and help them with all the key aspects of their baby’s life. CATHRYN CURTIN has delivered over 10,000 babies throughout her 40 year career. Cath was instrumental in the 1980's in setting up Birth Centres within Melbourne in order to promote active hospital birth within a home-like environment, as an alternative to traditional hospital labour wards. She now presents a series of talks helping parents solve their parenting issues.
