A few photos from a lovely home waterbirth Hailea and I attended this week. Hailea and the doula pictured standing next to the tub with the birthing family. We had some feline helpers as well.

Snowstorms will not keep babies from arriving or needing visits. We did cancel our in-person clinic today to keep people home until the roads were a bit cleared. If you have an urgent worry please call the urgent line. Stay safe.

Lovely photos shared with us yesterday of sweet baby Ambrose. Some from his birth and a few from our postpartum home visit. Big sister is the best helper!
Such a fun part of our work.

Have you seen this amazing image yet?😮 This award winning image by Caleb Dawson shows the tissue responsible for helping your milk to flow! The dense network of squiggles you see are myoepithelial cells wrapped around milk making glands called alveoli - as these cells contract, they squeeze the alveoli, releasing the milk into the milk ducts. Want to see these cells in action? Be sure to check out our recent reel!

Have questions about your milk supply or latch? Wish you had some tips to help get your milk flowing? In need of support to meet your breastfeeding, chestfeeding or pumping goals? We're here to help! Visit the link in our bio to connect

Create a village with us!
There are so many benefits to showing up and supporting other families around you:
Take pressure off of caregivers, focus our priorities as caregivers and community members, create a sense of safety for ourselves and children, reduce anxiety, feel empowered, save money on childcare and activities, rely less on social media for support, feel understood and connected.....
Our drop-in programming aims to build a network of interconnected families to start this village. Join us and show up.
To read more about why we all need a village, see Beth Berry's article "In the Absence of a Village, Mothers Struggle Most": http://ow.ly/rIKx50L7Ajn
