I am a mix of emotions as I announce that I am no longer accepting new doula clients or lactation support requests through Belly Bliss. I have accepted a position with Public Health and will shifting into that role with lots of energy and passion to help families and our community!
If you are looking for Birth &/or postpartum doula support, please check the Doula Collective of NL website for a list of active doulas. I will continue to work with the DCNL in an advocacy role.
If you need lactation support, please reach out to your public health nurse. If you are seeking a private IBCLC, the wonderful Kayla Shea .kaylashea is currently accepting clients.
So much love & gratitude to all my clients over the years who entrusted to me, support during their most precious of life moments.

The divisiveness in the US will seep into Canada as well so I am just sharing to help clients understand who they should be working with for feeding issues…

I don’t know who needs to hear this but…👇

Despite what you may have heard, you DO ✅ have breastmilk the second your baby is born.

You don’t ❌ have to wait 3 days for milk to show up and you certainly don’t have to bottle feed them for 3 days until your milk “comes in”. 🙄
Your early milk is called colostrum and it’s super thick and healthy for baby - and within a few days after birth your milk will transition to “mature” milk. 👏
When your milk transitions, that’s what people call milk”coming in” because you start to make much more of it just in time for your baby to be able to handle bigger meals. 🥳
But you’ve got milk BEFORE it “comes in”. Despite what bottle companies and formula companies and random other accounts may say…😤

Have you heard or been told this about milk production after birth? Comment down below! ⬇️
