Happy Valentine’s Day to every Mama & Mama-to-be!! 💗

Love doesn’t always look like roses and candlelight.
Sometimes it looks like 2am feeds cracked lips and a baby who only wants you.
And that love is just as real.

They came dressed in their Valentine best… 🥰 …plaid & suspenders, dresses & frills, these mamas & babies were clothed to the gills!!! 🥰 Love was in the air, flowing & oozing from every corner around, and filling our hearts like only they can. 🤗♥️ Today, we had 14 mamas & babies (13 returning & 1 new).. We had a pregnant mama too! 💕 We played Valentine’s bingo, ate cookies, candy & fruit, while we laughed, caught up and treasured the precious moments. 💗 We are reminded every Friday why we do what we do! 💗 We get to watch our community grow and be strengthened by the very women who at one time not long ago, needed the support and never imagined they’d be part of empowering other community mamas while walking along beside them…♥️🥹♥️ …This is powerful stuff! M&C mamas - you impress us constantly and are the very fabric of our community. 🫶♥️
We 🥰😍🫶♥️ Fridays!!!

✨ Delayed Cord Clamping: What It Is + Why It Matters ✨

That umbilical cord isn’t “done” the moment your baby is born. For the first minute or two, it’s still pulsing—delivering iron-rich blood, immune cells, and stem cells from the placenta to your newborn.

Delayed cord clamping simply means waiting until the cord stops pulsing before clamping and cutting.

🌱 Benefits for baby:
• Higher iron stores → lower risk of anemia
• Increased blood volume & smoother transition to life outside the womb
• For preterm babies: fewer transfusions and lower risk of serious complications
• Possible benefits for long-term motor & social development

⚖️ Things to know:
• Slightly higher chance of newborn jaundice (usually easy to monitor and treat)
• Immediate clamping may be needed if baby requires urgent support
• Not linked to increased bleeding for mom

💛 Bottom line:
Delayed cord clamping is gentle, evidence-supported care that lets the placenta finish its work—supporting your baby’s first moments of life without disrupting the birth flow.

Ask your care provider what this looks like in your birth space 🤍
