You are exactly who your little one needs.

Mama, there are days when you wonder if you’re doing enough or doing it right. You might feel overwhelmed or uncertain, but take a deep breath: in your little one’s eyes, you are everything. You are exactly who your little one needs, just by being you.

Remember, you don’t have to be perfect to be the perfect mom for them. No one else can love and comfort your child the way you do. They feel safest when you’re near. Your presence and love are what matter most—far more than any spotless home or expert parenting book.

As a postpartum nurse, I’ve seen how much pressure new parents put on themselves. The very fact that you care so deeply shows what a wonderful job you’re doing. If you ever need support—whether it’s help with sleep, navigating postpartum transitions, or just a listening ear—I’m here for you. You’re not alone on this journey.

👉 Antenatal Hand Expression (AHE) — learning to hand express colostrum in the final weeks of pregnancy.

Practicing AHE can help you:
• Build confidence with your body’s ability to make milk 🩷
• Collect colostrum you can bring to the hospital (if appropriate)
• Provide a small back-up supply if baby needs extra feeds in those early days
• Learn early feeding cues and ni**le stimulation techniques that support supply

💡 Research shows that AHE (in low-risk pregnancies) may help parents feel more prepared and improve early breastfeeding outcomes — especially if baby is sleepy, early-term, or needs extra support in the first hours after birth.

🌸 Want to learn how to do it safely and effectively?
Join me for my Prenatal Breastfeeding Workshop on 📅 October 30 @ 7:30 PM (CST).

You’ll learn everything you need to know for those first days and weeks — and receive a comprehensive ebook to reference at home.

💗 Grateful & Thankful

This Thanksgiving, I’m feeling especially grateful for the incredible families and women who invite me into their lives.

Each time someone reaches out — whether it’s for feeding support, a prenatal class, sleep help, or guidance through perimenopause — there’s a literal happy dance on my end. 💃✨

It’s such an honour to walk alongside you through these milestones, big and small, and to witness your growth, strength, and love for your families.

Thank you for trusting me, for sharing your stories, and for being part of this amazing Mama Coach community. 🫶

🍂 Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂

Sound machines can be a wonderful sleep tool when used safely.

They help calm overstimulated babies, block household noise, and create a familiar cue for sleep — especially in those early months when little ones crave predictability.

Here’s what research and clinical practice tell us:

🔹 Place it at least 1 meter away from baby’s head
🔹 Keep volume below 50 dB
🔹 Use it for sleep only, not all day
🔹 Skip melodies — steady white or pink noise is best

And if you’ve ever worried your child will become “dependent” — you’re not alone!

Think of white noise as a comforting cue, not a crutch. When your baby is ready, you can always fade it gently.

There’s no shame in using safe, evidence-based tools to support your baby’s sleep — it’s part of learning what helps your family thrive. 🤍

If you are looking for help with sleep, reach out & let’s get things started!
