Calling it a night after a late drop in with some breastfeeding goodies for a new mommy! 🤱🏾

Shout out to my hubby for always holding down baths and bedtime so I can go show a mom some love & support. I absolutely love doing this and the families that I serve make it so worth it!

Don’t forget to show up and love on the mommies, too!

Always love,
Your Doula Breastie ✌🏾🤎

What do you think I put in the bag? 👀👇🏾

Absolutely beautiful! Supporting mothers to have a birth that prioritizes their comfort and ability to follow their body’s cues! 💪🏾

And I agree that birth stools are amazing- highly recommended from my personal and professional experience.

Breastfeeding doesn’t come with an instruction manual, BUT you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Every week, I’ll be hosting a live Q&A thread right here on Facebook at The Healing Latch from 12-3pm EST. The day of the week will be announced on the page, so make sure you’re following to catch the updates. 😉

You can bring your questions about:

•Latching and positioning
•Pumping and supply
•Bottle feeding and transitions
•Returning to work
•Weaning and extended breastfeeding
•Troubleshooting pain, clogs, engorgement, and more

PLUS for a limited time, I’m also offering free private appointments by video, phone, text, or email.

This is completely *FREE* support- no upselling, no insurance, just real answers and encouragement.

*Please share this post so another mom can get the support she needs.

Always Love,

Your Doula Breastie ✌🏾🤎

"Perinatal mental health disorders are more common than many realize, yet so often go undetected."

If you don’t feel ok, it’s not ok. You should not have to struggle or sit alone in silence. Our babies thrive when we are thriving. You are not alone. You are not a burden. You are not a bad parent. You need help and that’s ok- there are so many trusted resources for support and Postpartum Support International is one of them.

If you see someone you love or support struggling, don’t be afraid to say something. Let them know that you want them to feel their best. Let them know that you care and want to support them. Don’t just be there- be vocal, be active.

My dm is always open if you’re looking for support & resources. You do matter and you are needed here.

Always Love,

Your Doula Breastie ✌🏾🤎

🚨 Sale alert!

Okay mamas, I have to share this because it’s been such a nice boost for me.

You know how colostrum is called liquid gold for babies? Well… turns out, adults can benefit from it too! This Legendairy Milk Colostrum Supplement has 40% IgG (that’s the immune-boosting stuff) and it’s in these yummy vanilla chewable tablets.

Here’s what I’ve noticed:
✔️ Less bloating + my digestion feels more balanced
✔️ A little more energy (which, let’s be honest, we need in postpartum life)
✔️ Peace of mind knowing I’m giving my immune system extra support (especially with back to school season and little ones bringing home all the germs 🙃)

It feels good to pour back into my body while I’m pouring so much into everyone else. If you’ve been curious about supplements that actually make a difference, this one is worth a peek. I’ll drop the link in the comments. ⬇️

Always Love,

Your Doula Breastie ✌🏾🤎

If you don’t hear from me in 3–4 business days… you know what I’m doing!

Bonus: dad keeps the kids occupied the whole time; so what’s the rush 😏

Curly hair fam: what’s your wash day survival tips? 👀
(Asking for me… and my arms!)

🗣️Annual Reminder!!

Share this with anyone trying to tell you otherwise! I’ll talk to them for you 😉

🚨This is very important to know as temperatures are beginning to rise. 🥵 Water is not needed for healthy breastfed babies in a hot climate.

Tips:
💫Feed your baby whenever they show feeding cues or signs of hunger
💫Make sure to watch for wet diapers (at least 6 in 24 hours)
💫Try to nurse lying down or using football hold, instead of cradle holding baby 🤱🏾 to reduce body heat transfer.

🌟Moms take care of you as well & stay hydrated, too! 😉

Your milk is wonderfully made and will adjust to give your baby all of the hydration they need!
Keep up the good work 🤎

Currently reading… and came across this and had to pause & catch my breath from laughing so hard 🤣🤣😭

But honestly? Not too far off!

Except… I’m not yelling from the sidelines (unless you’re into that lol).

✨How I will be there for you is:

✔️ Remind you to breathe when things feel intense.

✔️ Help your partner show up in a way that actually helps.

✔️ Translate hospital lingo so you can make empowered decisions.

✔️ Hold space when you’re feeling overwhelmed.

✔️ Be in your corner with hip squeezes, a birth ball & the calm energy you didn’t know you needed.

✔️ Know when to speak up and when to just let you breathe through it.

AND we’ll have a game plan- but I’m also here if the whole plan flies out the window & you want to switch it up.

Being a doula isn’t about telling you what to do. It’s about helping you feel held, heard, and ready…wherever birth takes you.

If this sounds like something you’d want on your team- you know where to find me. 😉

Always love,

Your Doula Breastie ✌🏾🤎
