There are more ways than 2 to feed a baby.

A tender portrait of a parent using a supplemental nursing system to feed their baby. A gentle reminder that every feeding journey is valid, loving, and worthy of honor.

I can attest to the great time your kids will have at this camp.
Great way to occupy your bigger kid while you and your new little one get to know each other.

Still 2 spots available in the 1/2 day art camp in August!

Here's a more positive product review.

I often ask my clients for gear that they like, and one of my most recent Dads instantly told me every new parent needs a surge protector.
Sterilizer, camera, all the things on your kitchen counter.
This one has a nightlight and a shelf.

Its time for some ruthless product reviews because I am soooooo sick of seeing young families spend money they dont have.

Up first,
This stupid thing. 👇

The reviews are wrong. I gave it 2 stars.

I have wrestled with this sterilizer as a Post Partum Doula and I had 2 families who both want to throw this thing out the window. It takes up waaaay too much counter space, holds barely anything, and costs an arm and a leg and this price doesn't include the silly tablets you have to drop in to wash the bottles.

Instead, go for a less expensive, slimmer version that holds more. The Dr. Browns or Avent ones come to mind.
They are often found on Mom to Mom pages or even at thrift stores. Just google the manual and clean it out before using.

Also, this is a ridiculous amount of money for a sterilizer, even on sale.

I am expanding Post Partum Doula support service to On-Site event venues.
Weddings, Parties, Funerals.

A common denominator with many of my post partum clients lately is this feeling of being left out of important events because they can’t bring baby.

Isolation can lead to Post Partum depression.

You are still wanted in your pre-baby social groups!

Nobody gets left behind!

I love my clients. ❤️
It’s such a privilege.
I love watching people come into the world, educating pregnant folks, helping babies get into the best position, working with the Midwives and L&D staff, learning continuously from Leanne because she’s a science nerd too, the wonder in the parents’ eyes, the little baby toes, the birthdays, the funny little expressions on the baby’s faces, the never-two-the-same birth, it’s the best job in the world.

Here’s a review Leanne sent me from a HFD birth client this morning.. (name removed for privacy. )

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️14 hours ago
We first reached out to Leanne and Rosanne for support during the last few months of pregnancy and for support during labour. In particular, I was most worried about pain management and what to expect. Leanne and Rosanne were available for any questions we had, any day or time, leading up to our due date and gave us different exercises and positions to help ease labour pains in advance. Rosanne was our doula during the delivery of our little one and stayed with us until our baby arrived, choosing to stay even after her allotted time was over, helping during a difficult delivery. She helped coach me and my partner throughout the labour and provided much support for both of us during the experience. We are so grateful Rosanne was with us and would recommend her to anyone, especially for first time mothers who are anxious about labour and delivery!

I’ve never believed in a workshop series that I’ve created so much as this one.
I am determined to spread the word on how to improve your labour and birth and reduce anxiety and fear in the birth rooms. There is so much to learn and talk about and I cannot wait to start!!
Please share with your community, your friends, your partners.

Are you making a playlist for your birth?
Good idea.
You can bring a Bluetooth speaker or head phones into the birth room for sure!
Music is a sweet tap to turn on the natural oxytocin all through labour. You’ll NEVER forget the songs you heard while you were in labour.
For me:

Baby #1
I’m Just Waitin’ on a Friend by The Rolling Stones

Baby #2
Comin’ in from the cold by Bob Marley

Here is a Spotify collection of songs I’ve gathered from friends, family, and clients that you might enjoy adding to your playlist as well.

More suggestions are appreciated! Comment down below
