👶 Did you know crying is actually a late hunger cue?

By the time your baby is crying, they may be too frustrated or tired to feed calmly. That’s why spotting those early cues can make a big difference. Look for:

👉 Rooting
👉 Hands to mouth
👉 Turning their head side to side
👉 Sucking sounds or motions
👉 Restlessness or squirming

Responding early helps make feedings smoother (and less stressful for everyone). 💛

Feeding doesn’t have to be on a strict schedule — it’s about connection, rhythm, and trust. 💫

I wanted to introduce myself to new followers and reintroduce myself to those of you who have been here for awhile.

Hello! My name is Andrea Evinger, Certified Postpartum Doula (CPD) and Owner of Nestled in Postpartum. These days, I am not as active here as I am studying to sit for my exam to become a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS). I continue to work as a postpartum doula, just on a more limited basis.

I have also needed to focus more on my health as I navigate a likely diagnosis of endometriosis. I hope that as I pursue healing, I will be able to be more available to my community in a professional capacity. As a postpartum doula, I educate and encourage women to seek the professional support they need to feel their best. I am doing my darnedest to practice what I preach, but it isn’t always fun and involves a lot of saying “no”. Shout out to these endo warriors and professionals for educating me on this insidious and all too often misunderstood disease.

Working with families as they bond with their babies, navigate decisions of early parenthood, and prioritize healing inspires me.

I believe every mama and every family knows what is best for themselves and their families. They often just need encouragement and support to listen to that inner voice. My job as a doula is to listen and be your sounding board, and, then to practically help that vision come to life.

My goal is to help you feel less isolated and overstimulated, more informed and confident. I want you to be able to look back on your early postpartum season with pride. To feel the wow-I-did that feeling. To remember sweet moments in the midst of the challenge.

“Honestly, hiring Andrea as my postpartum doula was one of the best investments I made for my sanity and well-being. If you’re on the fence about postpartum support—just do it.” -Natosha York, Client

Thank you for the lovely review, Tosha. It was beautiful to see your sweet family grow from three to four. Your dedication and love for each other touched my heart.

Natosha is also a very talented photographer. She specializes in both brand and portrait photography. Follow her here and .rochelle.portraits.

I have one spot left for fall and another for midwinter. I’d welcome the opportunity to hear your story. ♥️
