This Black History Month, we honor the remarkable legacy of Maude Callen, a true Lowcountry hero whose life’s work continues to inspire us.

Born right here in South Carolina, Maude served as a nurse-midwife in rural communities where access to maternal healthcare was scarce. At a time when resources were limited and barriers were high, she showed up again and again, for mothers who had nowhere else to turn.

She didn’t just deliver babies. She delivered safety. She delivered dignity. She delivered hope.

For generations of families in Moncks Corner and beyond, Maude Callen was more than a midwife, she was a lifeline. Her compassion and courage reshaped maternal health in our state and trained countless women to continue serving with the same heart.

As we reflect during Black History Month, we remember that her legacy lives on in every birth worker who advocates, every mother who is supported, and every family who is cared for with respect and compassion.

May we continue the work she so faithfully began. 🩵

Not sure what pump you’ll need after baby arrives? 🤍

Our month-to-month pump rentals are especially helpful for NICU moms, moms of multiples, those recovering from a traumatic or unexpected birth, low milk supply concerns, or a history of breast surgery.

This style of pump is designed to offer strong, consistent support when your milk supply needs extra encouragement, especially in those early weeks.

Clean. Dependable. Ready when you are. 🩵

You don’t have to navigate feeding challenges alone.

One of the most important (and often overlooked) moments after birth is the first latch.

Those first minutes can feel like a blur; excitement, exhaustion, emotions,
and things happen quickly. That’s why it’s so helpful to be informed before you go into labor.

In this video, Lin Cook of Mother’s Helper shares why preparing for that first latch during pregnancy matters, how it can impact breastfeeding success, and why she encourages families to include it in their written birth plan.

If you’re expecting, this is something you’ll want to think about ahead of time. 🩷

Here is what she had to say:
Lin Cook, founder of Mother’s Helper, has spent more than 30 years gently walking alongside families as a birth and postpartum doula, Bradley instructor, and lactation specialist. Her work has never just been a job, it’s a calling rooted in compassion, patience, and a deep love for mothers and babies.

Lin loves supporting parents through labor and delivery, and through those first tender weeks after birth, when joy and exhaustion can live side by side. One night she may be helping a new mom finally rest while she soothes and feeds a newborn; the next day she’s guiding parents through latch challenges, diapering, or simply reassuring them that what they’re feeling is normal. Her calm, steady presence turns overwhelming moments into manageable ones, helping parents feel capable and supported.

As families grow and their needs change, Lin also collaborates with Lowcountry Nanny & Babysitting Agency to help connect parents with carefully vetted caregivers when the newborn stage passes. The agency screens caregivers thoroughly, considers each family’s unique needs, and offers a range of support, from postpartum doulas and newborn care specialists to nannies and occasional sitters, so families can find the right match with confidence. Their thoughtful placement process, along with their work supporting families locally and across the country, helps parents feel secure bringing help into their homes.

For Lin, it has always been about one simple thing: making sure no mother feels alone. Her mission is to help families begin parenthood with rest, reassurance, and a circle of care around them.

Bradley Childbirth Class begins April 1st, and don’t worry, this is not an April Fools’ joke.

If you’re expecting this spring or summer, this is your sign to start preparing with intention.

Birth isn’t something you just “show up” for. It’s something you prepare for; mentally, physically, and as a team.

At Mother’s Helper, Lin Cook brings over 30 years of experience supporting families through pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding, and those tender first weeks postpartum. Her Bradley Method® classes are practical, empowering, and rooted in real experience, not fear.

You and your partner will learn:
• How to work with your body during labor
• Hands-on comfort measures and positioning
• How to confidently navigate hospital conversations
• Breastfeeding foundations
• Postpartum preparation
• And how to approach birth as a team

This class builds confidence. It builds connection. And it replaces anxiety with preparation.

Spots are intentionally limited to keep the experience personal and interactive.
