A Simple Home Postpartum Doula

02/23/2023

Want to know the biggest mistake most expecting parents make??

They focus on the stuff, the products, not the services.

They buy a million swaddles or baby carriers or bottles instead of learning about normal baby sleep or hiring a lactation consultant.

As a doula, a huge part of my job is showing my clients they need services, like chiropractic care, belly binding, or meal deliveries - not another swaddle.
