September brought cooler air, golden leaves and precious new arrivals!

Though our team took on a reduced client load this month, we were still busy teaching, supporting families in workshops, and preparing for the seasons ahead.

To all the babies born this month , you came into the world under the signs of Virgo ♍️ (August 23 – September 22) and Libra ♎️ (September 23 – October 22).
Virgo babies are often said to carry a grounded, thoughtful energy. They may grow into detail-oriented, caring souls who notice the little things and love bringing order to the world.
Libra babies arrive with balance and harmony in their stars. They are often associated with kindness, a natural love for connection, and a gentle spirit that seeks beauty and fairness.
No matter the sign, every September baby we’ve welcomed is unique, deeply loved, and a reminder of the wonder of new beginnings. Welcome to the world, little ones

Dis you know that a baby gazing up at their caregiver, like in this photo, they are learning trust and safety. These everyday interactions, the connections, eye contact, gentle touch, soothing voices are building blocks of secure attachment.
Why does this matter?
Secure attachment helps babies feel safe, loved, and understood. It supports healthy brain development.
It lays the foundation for confidence and relationships later in life.
The beautiful thing is: attachment doesn’t require perfection. It’s built over time through consistent, responsive care. Every cuddle, every feed, every moment of comfort strengthens your baby’s sense of connection with you and that is important as baby grows and develops.
At Full Circle Birth Co., we support families in these early days, helping you feel confident and cared for as you nurture that bond. Reach out to learn more about our team and support.

Our Postpartum doulas are here to hold space for the whole family. From gently rocking your newborn so you can shower, nap, or simply breathe, to offering guidance and reassurance in those tender first weeks, postpartum doulas bring calm, confidence, and care to this early weeks and months together.

We walk beside you as you learn your baby’s rhythms, recover from birth, and step into this new chapter of life.

Our lending library has been so well-loved over the years, and we’re grateful so many of you have borrowed books to support your journeys through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

But right now, many titles are still out in the world and we desperately need them back so other families can enjoy them too. If you’ve borrowed from us, whether last month or a few years ago....this is your gentle nudge to return your books.

No questions asked, no late fees, just deep gratitude, please.
Your simple act of bringing back a book helps keep this community resource thriving for future families.

📍 Drop them off at 7903-14 Ave SW Edmonton. Leave between the front door and porch door or even in the mail box.

Thank you for helping us keep the circle going.

What is a doula like?
Over the years, our clients have found the most beautiful metaphoric ways to describe the role we play in their birth and postpartum journeys. Some have described us as similar to a Sherpa – We’re there to guide you as you climb the mountain of birth. To walk beside you, lighten your load, and help you navigate the terrain with confidence.
We have sometimes been referred to similar to a flight attendant – Birth can sometimes feel like a turbulent flight. Just as you look to a flight attendant to see if everything is okay, families often look to their doula for calm reassurance. Our presence helps you feel safe, grounded, and supported no matter what twists or turns arise.
Or like the bumper pads in a bowling alley – Those pads keep your ball from going off track. In the same way, doulas gently guide you back to your center when things feel overwhelming, helping you stay aligned with your wishes and goals.
These metaphors remind us that while doulas don’t do the work for you, we do walk alongside you, steady, present, and attuned, so that you can move through birth and beyond feeling supported and empowered.

Welcoming all the babies of July. July babies’ horoscope sign is Cancer or Leo.
If your July baby is born between July 1 and July 22nd then they are a Cancer, which is the cardinal water sign and is represented by the crab. The sign of the bright and brazen sun, Leos are loyal, confident, and full of charisma, which is no doubt why the sign is represented by the regal lion. (Perhaps your cub will thrive in a toddler dance or music class someday!) And while Leos bask in the shiny spotlight of attention from others, they can get cranky when that light is moved away from them. That doesn’t mean your little Leo is going to be a diva—on the contrary, this sign is believed to be incredibly generous by nature (that bodes well for teaching sharing!). (happiestbaby.com)

Did you know that a simple birth ball (aka exercise or yoga ball) can be a game-changer in your birth journey?

These big, bouncy tools aren’t just for workouts, they can offer comfort, movement, and relief throughout pregnancy, labour, and even postpartum.

Here’s how birth balls can support you:
• Encourage optimal fetal positioning with gentle hip circles
• Relieve back pressure during contractions
• Promote pelvic mobility and ease tension
• Support upright positions to help gravity do its work
• Create rhythm and focus with rocking or bouncing

Whether you're at home or in a hospital, your birth ball can help keep you grounded, mobile, and connected to your body.

Many find that the rhythm of movement brings a sense of calm and control.

Have you used a birth ball in your pregnancy or birth? We'd love to hear how it supported you!

Let’s Talk Swaddling: Safety, Reflexes & What Your Baby Really Needs. Swaddling is often one of the first soothing tools new parents try—but it also comes with a LOT of questions.
Does it help sleep? Is it safe? Is suppressing the startle reflex ok?

What is the Moro Reflex?
That sudden flailing movement your newborn makes when they’re startled or shifted quickly? That’s the Moro reflex—a totally normal, healthy reflex that helps babies adjust to the outside world. It peaks in the first couple of months and fades by around 4 months.

Why swaddle?
Swaddling gently reduces the intensity of the Moro reflex so your baby doesn’t startle awake every few minutes. It mimics the cozy containment of the womb and is thought to lead to longer stretches of sleep, help calm the nervous system and make an easier transitions between sleep cycles

Should we suppress the Moro reflex?
Not entirely. The reflex has a purpose—it supports neurological development and helps babies integrate sensory input. Over-suppressing it (especially with tight, arms-down swaddles) may: limit movement and motor skill development
Interfere with feeding cues (babies use their hands to show hunger) reduce self-soothing opportunities
Instead of "shutting it down," think of swaddling as a way to gently buffer the reflex while your baby matures.

Swaddling doesn’t work for every baby. And that’s okay. If your little one resists it or seems frustrated, try keeping their arms out or arms up swaddling, consider baby wearing or skin-to-skin during the day or creating a soothing bedtime rhythm without a swaddle.

Your baby’s cues will always tell you what’s working—and what’s not. Drop a comment or message if it worked for you and your baby.
