Healing from a cesarean birth takes time, patience, and so much gentleness. 💛

Here are a few simple ways to support your recovery and make those early days a little easier. You deserve all the rest, help, and care you can get.

Those first weeks can feel like a blur — but you don’t have to do them alone.

With a postpartum doula by your side, there’s more rest, more calm, and a little more space to simply be.

Even grandparents feel the difference.

We often hear from grandparents, “I wish we’d had someone like you when we were new parents.”

They love knowing their children and grandchildren are being cared for — gently, professionally, and with deep respect.

Postpartum support isn’t just for the new parents — it brings peace of mind to the whole family

As a breastfeeding parent, we all know that sometimes the real hero of the day is… the b***s. Whether it's calming a fussy baby mid-meltdown, doubling as a snack on the go, or even stopping a tantrum in its tracks, those b***s are always on duty.

They’re not just a food source, they’re magic. Who needs a superhero cape when you've got a breastfeed-bustling, multitasking powerhouse?

To all the parents out there, your b***s are MVPs. Don’t forget to give them a high-five!

11/10/2025

If you Google what your baby needs you will find lots of long lists of supplies... but the truth is you don't need ALL that stuff!

Keep it simple. You might think you'll use that very trendy bottle drying rack, but will you really?

Put the simple things on your registry, and then you can add what you need from there!

Need more help? Bringing Home Baby is relaunching soon and will ensure you start parenthood off feeling ready, and help your postpartum experience be a POSITIVE one.

There’s nothing quite like those first days — when everything feels new, tender, and full of love. 💛

As your postpartum doula, I’m here to walk beside you through it all — the feeding questions, the sleepless nights, the tears that come out of nowhere, and the quiet, beautiful moments you’ll never forget.

Welcome to this new chapter, and welcome to the Embrace family.

You don’t have to do it all — you just have to be.

I’ll help with the rest.

You’re not imagining it — newborns really do feed A LOT!

Most babies every 1.5 to 3 hours, and that includes overnight.

This frequent feeding:

✅ Helps establish your milk supply
✅ Keeps your baby hydrated and growing
✅ Offers comfort and connection — not just nutrition

Cluster feeding (lots of feeds close together) often happens in the evening or during growth spurts — it’s your baby’s way of telling your body, “I’m growing!”

Tell us — what surprised you most about newborn feeding?

Wondering how to book your Embrace Doula? It’s simple!

First, ask around for recommendations and then reach out through our website to see if we have space.

From there, you’ll book a meeting with us, confirm how many hours of support you’d like, and we’ll set aside your spot.

Once your contract is signed, intake form is filled out, and deposit is made — your booking is officially confirmed.

After that, you can relax knowing you have our support every step of the way.

Turns out, the real haunted house is parenthood itself. 👻

Swipe for some truly chilling tales from everyday life with little ones. 😅🎃

10/24/2025

Parenthood is basically a year round haunted house full of jump scares, sleepless nights, and mysterious sticky substances everywhere. At least Halloween gives us candy as compensation 🍬👻

10/22/2025

Your baby won’t remember their first Halloween, but you will.

The tiny hands reaching for pumpkins, the soft giggles, the cozy glow of the season wrapping around you both. 🍂

It’s not about doing it all, it’s about slowing down enough to feel it.

Because every season feels new again when you’re seeing it through their eyes. 😍
