Well, joke’s on me for saying I’d attended my last birth of 2024. But this little girl made it in time for New Year’s!

7 births total in the last year. 7 mommies whose hands I’ve held. 7 families who I’ve given love and support. 7 babies whose hands and feet remind me just how tiny my babies were. 7 breastfeeding mommies to help. 7 impressions on my heart. 5 little boys, 2 little girls. Every one taught me something, every one made me a better doula, and every one made me feel a little warm and fuzzy on the inside.

Thank you families for trusting me to be by your sides! May 2025 treat you well, and I look forward to watching your babies grow! ❤️

I am working with CHAMPS in a dual capacity - for my job at WIC/WVUCH and as a doula, both in the community partnership capacity. If advancing maternal practices and improving breastfeeding rates is important to you, I encourage you to join us!

Is this true for you? I want to know!

This week's suggests that weekly text message support during pregnancy and postpartum can boost exclusive breastfeeding rates & self-efficacy. Digital support for breastfeeding can make a difference! 📱 Check it out: bit.ly/3YmuNLV

Hand expression is a handy skill to have whenever your patient needs to empty their breasts and are not with their baby, or their baby is temporarily unable to breastfeed. Learn more in this handout.

I spent a total of 4 years and 9 months of my life - between all three of my children - breastfeeding. It is one of the things I am most proud of myself for. 🤱🏼
