🥰 Some words of wisdom from our team. 🥰

Our team is made up of parents who have 'been there and done that'. They have walked the path of sleepless nights and feeding struggles - and they love being a part of that journey with the families we care for.

I asked our practitioners to write down some Words of Wisdom to support our new parents and they came up with some gems!

🥄 Let's learn about responsive feeding and how it can support healthy nutrition, happy mealtimes, and family connections.🥄

Responsive feeding means watching for, recognizing, and responding to your baby's mealtime cues. This can be an adjustment for those of us raised in 'finish everything on your plate' households.

Our feeding therapist, Laura Sawers, breaks down responsive feeding at different stages in the first couple of years, and provides helpful resources. Link in bio!

🚺 Our postpartum group this week focused on recovery and pelvic floor health. 🚺

We covered concepts such as:
🔀 Linking breathwork to pelvic floor function
🔀 Awareness of the 'cylinder' of muscles that connect with the pelvic floor
🔀 Different types of pelvic floor dysfunction - it's not just weakness!
🔀 The importance of upper body mechanics in parenthood

And we answered questions, including:
❓ What symptoms are normal at this stage?
❓ What is diastasis recti and what does it mean?
❓ What happens in a pelvic floor physiotherapy appointment?

Finally, we shared ideas on how to maximize parent rest, including our pro tip about nighttime diaper changes. 😉

🔜 Our next group, for babies born in March & April, starts on May 6th. Link in bio for more information and to register.

🧩 We are all made up of so many parts. 🧩

Internal Family Systems work helps you to explore the different parts that make up your personality, finding ways to care for all of them - even the ones that can be difficult to hold.

Our therapist, Caitie Jane, has extensive training and experience in IFS work. She finds that an IFS approach can help her clients process the wide range of emotions that come up through the transition to parenthood.

👶🏼 It was 'bring your baby to work day' for our Sleep Consultant Melody this week. 👶🏼

Our winter group is in full swing, and it was Melody's turn to lead her session on newborn sleep. Her little (not so little!) one, Judah, is 5 weeks old and fit right in with the babies in the group who are now 1-3 months old.

I (Dr. Jan) got to snuggle Judah while Melody led a discussion that covered...
🕙 wake windows
😴 contact naps (and how to progress beyond them)
💨 gassy babies
4️⃣ the 4 month sleep regression
🌚 baby's sleep environment

I got my fill of baby snuggles and everyone left with new strategies to try at home!

🏠 Loved receiving this message from one of my patients about her experience with our postpartum home visit program. 🏠

A little less than a year ago my on-call group started collaborating with an amazing team of midwives. While I love following my patients through all of their prenatal and postpartum visits, I also love being able to offer them at-home visits with one of the midwives on our team within days of bringing baby home from hospital. The skill, experience, dedication, and kindness that Cassie, Laura, Monique, Robyn, and Shannon bring to our team is unmatched!

🍼 Tips and resources for families who are combination feeding from our feeding therapist, Laura Sawers! 🍼

MANY families feed their babies with a combination of breast and bottle.

Whether it's.....by choice or out of necessity..short or long term..50:50 or 90:10

It is a lot of work in a busy, vulnerable, and emotional time.

We hope this blog helps to provide some support and reassurance. 💕

As Canada and the world mourn Catherine O’Hara, this clip from her iconic role as Moira Rose on Schitt’s Creek came to mind.

When one of us shines,
All of us shine.
That is the meaning of ensemble.
