Adjust your crown and sit upon your throne, Queen. 👑

Grab a pillow and become acquainted with your throne. You will want to remain seated for some time. Supporting you in early labor and active labor, the Dilation Station is your new best friend.

Why? Our subconscious mind associates opening sphincters, relaxing the pelvic floor and perineum, and releasing from the body while seated on the toilet.

Work with what comes naturally to us! The toilet offers relaxation, privacy, quiet moments, and an opportunity to regularly release urine and/or BMs.

Congratulations on the birth of your third baby. Thank you for encouraging birthing families everywhere with your share.

"✨Grow Your Baby’s Brain✨

You can’t “spoil” a baby by responding to them - you’re literally wiring their brain.

Every time you pick them up, soothe them, feed them, or just meet their gaze, you’re building neural pathways that shape how they’ll relate to the world, to others, and to themselves. In these early weeks, your baby’s brain is making up to a million neural connections per second. Let that sink in. A million per second.

And do you know what drives that brain development? Responsive caregiving.

Research shows that when babies consistently experience warm, responsive care, it strengthens the architecture of their brain - particularly in areas tied to emotional regulation, attachment, and stress response (Harvard Center on the Developing Child, 2010).

That “spoiled” baby you’re worried about? They’re actually becoming secure, regulated, and connected. So next time someone tells you you’re holding them too much or feeding them too often, just remember: You’re not spoiling them. You’re literally building their brain."

Cuarentena. Sanhujori. Yuezi. Omugwo. Golden Month. 40-day confinement

Tradition whispers "slow down" 🧘‍♀️ while the world insists "keep up or be left behind" 🏃‍♀️💨. In modern times, postpartum families feel pressured to rush. Rush to heal.

⏸️ The body is healing. The mind is healing. The parent's identity is resolving. The parent is in survival mode for several weeks / months and is focused on:
1) maternal health & recovery
2) newborn care
3) safety

Nothing takes greater precedent than the needs of the parent and baby. Did you know - How the birth parent is supported during their postpartum will impact them for the rest of their life (e.g. PMADs, menopause, pelvic floor dysfunction)

Extended family and friends can support by caring for the birth parent's physical, emotional, and mental needs, so they can strictly rest, feed, and bond with the new baby.

✨️ handle all housework
✨️ plan and prepare warm, wet, nutritious meals
✨️ minimize the mental load
✨️ care for siblings, plants, and/or pets
✨️ check in on other parent and caregivers
✨️ keep home warm, quiet, calm, positive

Thank you Kimberly Seals Allers for sharing this community resource and reminding us that JOY is our bright right, especially during times like these.

Our hearts are with black pregnant, birthing, and postpartum families especially those who have experienced injustice, maltreatment, and/or loss.

Tag a BIPOC friend. Text an expecting black family. Encourage a black midwife, OBGYN, doula, nurse, medical care member. Practice culturally congruent care. Invest resources into BIPOC organizations aligned with Black Maternal & Infant Health and Wellness.

"The Black Birth Joyline is HERE!!! 📲📞🥳

Listening to Black birthing people proclaiming their joy on the Birthright podcast has been the highlight of my year! 🌞 Especially after another year of more negative statistics about Black birth outcomes and Black maternal and infant deaths. We deserve some joy & healing! 🤎 It's time to pivot from the doom and gloom narrative too common in mainstream coverage of Black Birth and remember that joy is also a tool for
birth equity."

Civilian. Active duty. Veteran. You're somebody's whole world.

This Veterans' Day, we celebrate those who choose to work and bodyfeed their babies. With support from your government, employer, family, and friends; you can do both!

Thank you for representing the divine feminine in uniform and for defending our civil liberties to bodyfeed our babies in the workspace one latch at a time.

- Need support understanding your lactation rights in the workplace?
- Need support as you transition back into the workplace while still nursing?

Book an in-person or virtual lactation consultation with our lactation team! Or expand your village and book a doula to support your family's lactation goals. [Link in bio]

"On Veteran's Day, we uplift and commend the mothers who committed their life to service for our country AND to service for their family. To establish breast milk while active duty military is no easy feat. 💯

Today, and every day, I am proud to celebrate their dedication to learning this life preserving skill and investing in their future health alongside that of their children. 💪🏾

Here are the women soldiers I have photographed while nursing who served in the United States Military. Circa 2016-2025. I'm still working behind the scenes empowering mothers to trust their bodies and helping them to see this as purposeful, foundational work.🤱🏾

To sustain nursing for weeks, months, and beyond; feeds must be comfortable for the lactating parent and child.

Thank you IBCLC for sharing your go-to position when families are struggling with latch, painful feeds, and/or a baby experiencing digestive issues (gas, reflux, colic). This upright position is the Koala Hold. 🐨

Relax, work with gravity, and optimize skin-to-skin bonding. ✨️ This position can be upright or reclined. Happy nursing!

⭐️

"Laid back position in a chair

The laid back position can be a hugely helpful feeding position, and is often my go-to when l'm supporting families with breastfeeding. It can be a lot more instinctive, and comes with many less 'rules' than other positions.

Mothers are often worried about how they can use the position when out and about, so I thought these images might be really useful.

Success!

Have you tried this position? Let me know if you give it a go.

It's not toxic positivity when it has a purpose. Productive thinking neutralizes negative thinking.

✨️ Reframe the narrative
✨️ Reclaim control over what's within your control
✨️ Ease strong emotions to make centered decisions

Thank you for reminding us to release the intrusive thoughts. They are not ours to hold but to release.
✨️🍂🍁🍂✨️

Expectant and new parents are sometimes more sensitive to others' well-meaning stories, warnings, and reflections. That's their experience. Claim this new experience for yourself.

Exercise: Practice your affirmations with your birth partner and doula. Reflect on what comes up. Which affirmations are easier to speak? Which are more challenging to believe?

The divine feminine cycles. ♾️

As the mother / birthing person and baby progress in birth, the birthing waves become cyclical, too. The waves come more often, last longer, and surge with power.

Longer. Stronger. More frequent.

Ride the waves with fierce determination and courage because this means you're birthing well and are moving from early labor to active labor into transition. When waves are predictable, you can more easily work through the waves. You appreciate the lull and rest in the gap or may reposition yourself (rotating baby) or hydrate. Once you fall in rhythm, there's no stopping you! Here comes your baby!

Thank you and for this perfect visual! 🌊

⭐️

"It's HERE 👇👇👇👇
Contractions are like waves-powerful, rhythmic, and inevitable.

Your job? Work with them.

If you fight the waves, they will still come, but the resistance will make them feel heavier, harder, and more painful. Pain without purpose.

You can spend months researching the "best conditions for wave riding" (aka labor and birth), but nothing will fully predict what the waters will be like on the day you enter YOUR portal.

The best thing you can do? Surrender. Lean in. Ride each wave. Not with fear, but with trust in your body's power.

Here are some of my favorite mantras to anchor you through each one:
🌊 I can do anything for 2 minutes
🌊 That one is behind me.
🌊 I rest now.
🌊 Each wave is bringing my baby closer
🌊 We are safe.
🌊 My body is perfect.
🌊 We are working together.
🌊 Ride the wave. Ride the wave. Ride the wave.

You've got this, mama. And I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

Hang out with me for more real, honest guidance from a midwife & mama. 🫶 "
