Your Birth Matters!

I believe this so strongly. Your birth experience is a one of a kind, irreplaceable, unforgettable moment for you and your baby. Be actively involved in shaping that experience. If you have questions, I offer prenatal classes, doula services, Meditation, breastfeeding and postpartum support. My goal is to make sure you have all the tools you need to have the best birth you can, however you want that to look.

I think it's really important to acknowledge how much babies cry. New moms can be surprised and overwhelmed by all the noises their little one makes, and all the gadgets and medications out there to soothe what can be your baby's normal sounds and communications. As a postpartum doula, my clients always have questions about sleep, p**ping, gas, grunting and spitting up. The truth of it all is that your baby cries to communicate with you, and it doesn't mean you aren't meeting their needs or being a great mom! Spend lots of time with your little one in the first 6 weeks, get to know their sounds and crys and eventually coos. Remember, a crying baby is not a negative thing, it just means they have something to tell you. By responding and reading their cues they will cry less, and you will have an amazing bond.

Newborns and older babies cry for so many reasons. At first, it's their only way to communicate and get their parents attention. As you spend time bonding and getting to know your baby, you will begin to recognize the intention and emotion behind some of their cries. Holding your baby often, keeping them close for sleep and responding as soon as they cry will help you form a strong bond and have a calmer baby.

Normal reasons your baby may cry
☑️hungry
☑️full (sign to stop feeding)
☑️gas
☑️needs to p**p (newborns have trouble p**ping unless they are eating or sucking.)
☑️wants to be held
☑️tired
☑️bored
☑️lonely
☑️scared (usually during a new situation or with a new person)
☑️warm or cold
☑️uncomfortable/wet
☑️frustrated (usually when getting dressed or getting in the car seat)
☑️in pain (this can be a scream/cry combo)

Most of these emotions are easy to figure out and resolve. Remember, babies are noisy, emotional little people. They may cry for several hours a day, or at certain times every day. When in doubt, get help.

I can't say enough good things about the Dr. Brewer Pregnancy Diet Plan! This nutrition program has been around for many years. Studies and evidence show that it can reduce your risks of serious pregnancy conditions including:

⚡ Pre-eclampsia
⚡ High Blood Pressure
⚡ Gestational Diabetes
⚡ Pregnancy Obesity
⚡ Low Iron and B12
⚡ Interuterine Growth Restriction
⚡ Nausea and Food Aversions
⚡ Insomnia
⚡ Preterm Labour

This plan can be easy to follow and adaptable to any diet (it's possible to substitute the dairy). For more details check out :

As a doula, I help with your pregnancy health and comfort as well as your labour and birth. There are so many simple things you can do to have a more positive experience 💜
