Do these stairs lead to adventure? Or do they make you start to worry?

Maybe you want to avoid them for fear of slipping. Maybe they make you want to splash right in. Maybe it depends on the day.

Navigating postpartum, and parenthood in general, can feel a lot like this. There are always different ways to view the path ahead, and many possible turns along the journey.

You don’t have to leap. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep moving. But you don't need to do it alone.

Want someone to sit beside you, guide you, or cheer you on? A doula can do that!

Doula self care is important too!!!
When I'm up all night, when I work a 13 hr day, when I'm pouring energy and confidence into others.... I need to remember to refill my own cup!

My faves! 💆‍♀️ 🔥/🧊 ❤️ 🧘‍♀️ 🐱 🚶‍♀️ 📚 🍫 😴

Pro tip from a postpartum doula who’s in a lot of kitchens and nurseries 👀

If you’ve picked up baby gear (or honestly, any appliance) secondhand and it came with zero instructions… let AI do the heavy lifting.

Snap a photo of the label or the item itself and drop it into ChatGPT with something like:

“Identify the make and model, check for any recalls, and link the user manual.”

Done.

I see alllll the gear in my work, sterilizers, pumps, coffee machines, vacuums, mystery drying racks, and not all of it is familiar. This has become my go-to cheat sheet for figuring out safe, intended use quickly (and confidently).

Because you shouldn’t need a scavenger hunt just to make a bottle or a cup of coffee ☕🍼







**I will say yes, I like helpful, ethical AI. For information and minor editing help. For analyzing data and finding the bigger picture. Not for thinking for me. Not for entertaining with deep fakes. And I always verify!!!**

Sure, I multitask and make muffins while babywearing and folding laundry so you can rest. I hand out compliments and validate your concerns, judgement free. I offer evidence-based answers. I am always happy to model and demonstrate baby care techniques and talk in great detail about diaper contents. I truly listen, and I give hugs and high fives when appropriate.

But it is the little things that make me a postpartum star. The behind-the-scenes things. The ones you might not even notice, but that help the day to day run just a little smoother.

Like filling the reservoir on the Keurig, the kettle, or the Baby Brezza. Refilling the soap dispenser. Straightening the shoes in the entryway or fluffing the couch cushions. Topping up the spice jars or the sugar canister. Making sure the wipes are full and the diaper caddy is stocked.
Little gestures that quietly say, you are supported here.

The goal?
So you can move through your day feeling a little more human, a little more rested, and fully like the rock star parent you already are.

If you had a postpartum fairy for the day, what little thing would you ask them to do first?

Me: a postpartum support professional.

Also me, 30 seconds after taking the baby out of the wrap… wondering when this wholesome criss-cross situation got so dramatic. 😅

Parents are often apologetic that they haven't gotten to the bottle pile yet. To this I say, THANK YOU!!! This means you've been doing all the other things, keeping you and baby happy. Leave the mess. I got it.

Just a few practicle ways your postpartum doula can help:
Bottle & pump washing and sterilizing.
Meal prep, snack baking.
Light housekeeping: laundry, dishes.
Organizing the diaper station.

I got you!

Look at you, pushing through. The days can feel hard and endless, the nights are sleepless, but babe, you’re rocking it.

Trust those instincts. In my experience with families, they’re generally bang on accurate. And I’m always happy to validate. You are exactly who your baby needs right now, I promise.

Need a cry? Go for it. Need a hug? I’m there. Need a quiet moment to recharge? Pass that baby my way. I’ll tend to them while I make you a snack or a hot meal.

You’ve got this… and I’ve got you. 🩷

Unsung parenting milestones worth celebrating!

#213 Spilling food on your baby…
and then licking it off their head (as appropriate! 🤣)

Been there? Tell us your stories!

Note: Please practice safe babywearing around hot food and heating surfaces. Bend with your knees, turn your body to the side, pause to let heat dissipate, and always shield baby’s face when opening an oven or similar.

Why am I posting this? A silly dancing video of myself that makes me cringe 😅

From my POV: baby was crying and needed to be held, but the wrap gets tricky as they get bigger, and it was way too close to bedtime to risk an accidental early sleep. So… out came the ridiculous dance moves and made-up song lyrics.

And you know what? It worked. Babe started bouncing and “singing” along.

I’m all-in on this work, which honestly feels more like a calling. Because how could you watch this level of goofiness and think otherwise?

Love this trend!
And love that this cutie pie mostly played along lol. She's still more interested in where her peeps are than screens!
