These five infant products are still quite easy to find online through third-party sellers on major e-commerce sites, in spite of numerous infant fatalities that have led to widespread recalls, warnings, and rule changes regarding infant products marketed for sleep.
Do learn more about just how widespread the problem is, and red flags and warning signs to watch for when you’re shopping online:

LACTATION COOKIES do not solve the problem of a low milk supply!
Eat a cookie because you want a cookie. 🍪

Here are the Common causes of low milk supply: eating a cookie does not fix any of these issues.
Thank You for this excellent accurate, evidence-based information.

Postpartum Doulas are knowledgeable and supportive. When the adjustments we can help with are not enough, we work with our local IBCLCs to address the root cause of our clients' low milk supply.

The common causes of low milk supply:
- not breastfeeding or pumping enough
- skipping night feeds or night pumps
- baby with oral
restrictions (tongue, lip, buccal)
- sleep training or eat, play sleep routines
- wrong fl**ge size
- poor quality breast pump
- PCOS
- thyroid disorders
- hormonal imbalances
- mineral and vitamin deficiencies
- retained placenta
- Sheehan syndrome
- breast surgery
(augmentation, reduction, lift)
- anemia + blood loss in labor
- insufficient glandular tissue (IGT)
- diabetes T1 and T2
- insulin resistance
- hormonal birth control
- nutrient deficiencies and extreme dieting
- history of infertility and/ or recurrent pregnancy loss
Working with a low milk supply specialized lactation consultant (and often, doing bloodwork based on symptoms) can be the best step to getting closer to answers.“

Let our doulas help you overnight. Learn how to dress your baby comfortably and safely at night
👶💤
As a general guide, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends dressing baby in no greater than one layer more than an adult would wear to be comfortable at the same temperature.

There are no recommendations for or against mittens, but they are unnecessary. Scratching is not a concern when nails are kept short.

Babies should not sleep with hats or hoods due to the risk of overheating or suffocation, with the exception of newborns in the hospital who cannot yet regulate their body temperature. Babies should be changed out of hooded clothing before sleep.

The clothing infographics in this article are only a basic guide for how to dress a baby for sleep. Some babies run warmer or colder than others.

There are not too many new in-person dad support groups around the city, and it’s vital to share and experience the transition into parenthood with other new fathers.
For first time Dad’s.
The group starts in March.

of Jan 1, 2025, all privately employed workers in New York will be able to receive an additional 20 hours of paid sick leave for prenatal care.
This gives employees paid time off to attend pregnancy-related appointments, like:
• Physical examinations
• Medical procedures
• Monitoring
• Testing
• End of pregnancy care
• Fertility treatment

Common sense advice from
about Bottles.

“The reality in many countries, especially the United States where too many people are forced to go back to work before 99% of the rest of the world tells people they have to, is that people feed their babies with bottles, at least some of the time.”



Postpatum Doulas can help you with pumping and bottle feeding while ensuring you can maintain breastfeeding your baby if that your goal.
