A 2025 study published in AJOG adds powerful, up-to-date data showing associations between doula care and improved maternal and newborn outcomes.

Key Maternal Outcomes:

More vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC): For every 100 patients who received doula care, there were 15 to 34 additional VBACs compared with those without doula care.

Higher postpartum follow-up attendance: 5 to 6 more per 100 received postpartum office visits.

Key Neonatal / Infant Outcomes

Increased exclusive breastfeeding rates: Babies whose families had doula support were more likely to breastfeed exclusively.

Fewer preterm births (and early preterm births): Doula-supported births showed a reduction in preterm birth rates.

In short, the study links doula care with improvements in birth outcomes — across birth mode (more VBACs), infant health (less prematurity), and early infant care (breastfeeding, postpartum follow-up).

🎄 Holiday Boundaries for Babies (and Parents!) 🎄
As we kick off the Christmas season, I want to remind all my sweet families that you and your baby’s comfort come first. It’s more than okay to set healthy boundaries.

✨ A few reminders:
• “No, thank you" is a complete sentence. You never need to justify protecting your baby’s space.
• Let your baby warm up to their surroundings. Not all little ones are ready for all the hugs, photos, or passing around and that’s perfectly normal.
• Watch for signs of overwhelm. If baby starts turning away, fussing, or avoiding eye contact, they are telling you that they need a quiet reset.
• Keep routines where you can. Predictability makes the holidays easier on everyone, especially tiny humans!
• Your comfort matters, too. Choose what feels right for your family, even if others don’t fully understand.

This season is about peace, joy, and connection- not pressure. 💛
Let your Christmas boundaries honor your mental space, your baby and create memories that feel good for everyone.
