Perinatal Nutrition: 5 Fun Facts Every New Parent Should Know 🥞

Pregnancy and postpartum are intense. Your body is growing, healing, and (if you’re breastfeeding) feeding a tiny human nonstop. Nutrition can make a huge difference, but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

We’ve tried a lot of brands over the years, and as parents and doulas, is the one we keep coming back to. It’s simple, covers the essentials (protein, choline, omega-3s), and actually feels doable.

Here are 5 fun facts we love sharing:
1️⃣ Postpartum protein needs are higher than during pregnancy.
2️⃣ Vitamin D supports mood and immunity, not just bones.
3️⃣ Omega-3s help both your baby’s brain and yours.
4️⃣ Choline is essential for brain development and often missing in prenatals.
5️⃣ Hydration counts as nutrition as it affects energy, recovery, and milk supply.

✨ Exciting News from Carriage House Birth! ✨

At Carriage House Birth, we know that life as a birthworker can be full of twists and turns. Whether your certification has lapsed, or life pulled you away from completing your training, we’ve created a certification pathway with you in mind. This offering allows you to reclaim your certification and continue the work that’s so close to your heart. We’re thrilled to offer this at a low price of $499 to make it even more accessible for our community. As more major insurance companies, including Medicaid, begin reimbursing families for doula services, having an active certificate is becoming essential. With this certification, you’ll meet those requirements and continue to sustain your practice while supporting families in the ways they need most.

We’re here to help you renew, reengage, and thrive in your doula work, so you can keep growing alongside the families you serve.

Let’s keep doing this important work together! We are starting our next birth doula training TOMORROW! Act now! ❤️

📢 Dear Community,

I’m reaching out on behalf of one of my incredible birth doula clients, a young single mother facing a tough journey with her baby girl, born at just 24 weeks. Her little one needs specialized care for pulmonary hypertension and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. She had to relocate recently from Long Island to receive the care that her daughter needs.

The financial burden of medical bills, travel, securing a new apartment, and daily living expenses is overwhelming. We’ve started a GoFundMe to help.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a huge difference. Please donate if you can or share this post.

Thank you for your support. 🙏

How do you feel about giving birth?

For many the first thought that comes to mind is related to fear. Will my birth go according to plan? What if my home birth turns into a hospital birth? Will I be able to do it? These thoughts and feelings are normal. Especially if this is your first birth. Remember that you are strong. You are capable. And you have time to prepare and plan. We love that we get to hop on this journey with you even if it's just for a short while. We want to help shift the focus from fear to confidence in your ability to birth your baby. We have a few Childbirth Education Classes coming up and we would love for you to join! We have Express classes as well as Weekend classes. Save this post and see below for dates and details!

How do you feel about BABYWEARING? 🤩

If you are curious about babywearing and want to dive in deeper into this topic we have the perfect offering for you! We have a Babywearing for Families class coming up with Adriane Stare . After the birth of her first son, Adriane fell in love with babywearing - the most critical skill that she learned as a new parent. She founded and ran Caribou Baby and Wild Was Mama from 2011-2018, Brooklyn’s wildly popular Natural Baby/Maternity shops and Class spaces for new families. For more than a decade, she’s helped thousands of families find their confident, joyful groove in parenting by teaching them how to develop real skills and strategies, instead of just buying more 'stuff' and quick solutions. Her babywearing work and parenting approach has been featured widely on news and parenting platforms, including Good Morning America, The New York Times, Mother.ly and Crain’s New York. Who better to learn from? We are so excited for you to embark on your babywearing journey!

Are you curious about BABYWEARING?🤔

Maybe you are newly pregnant and your other parent friends have told you how AMAZING baby carriers are! Or maybe you have a newborn/infant and wonder if it is worth the hype?

Babywearing can help parents respond to feeding cues, settle gassy stomachs, build strength, lessen crying, help with sleep and improve mood. Plus, your hands are free to help you navigate the world with your new babe. Have you used a baby carrier? What was your experience of babywearing?

We have a wonderful Babywearing Class coming up with Adriane Stare . This class is taking place via Zoom on May 6th at 2PM EST. If you are interested in joining, click here: https://carriagehousebirth.teachable.com/p/babywearing-for-families
