Cheers to 3 years on the Book of Faces. Love that I get to grow slow and steady with you guys by my side.

Birth comes to us in many ways and no two births are exactly alike. What’s on your bingo card?

Did any of these surprise you?

Getting a good latch is foundational to breastfeeding, so it’s kind of a big deal! 👌

Not that breastfeeding is impossible with a poor latch, but it could cause issues down the line, like sore/cracked ni***es, more frequent clogged ducts, more gas/stomach issues for baby, etc.
How a baby latches and feeds can even impact jaw development!

👉It’s one of the first things we check when a client notices a dip in supply. 👈Why? Efficient, frequent emptying is what maintains supply, so if baby is struggling and removing less, your body will respond and make less. 🤯

If you’re currently breastfeeding and need some additional support and/or encouragement, contact TODAY and get your lactation appointment on the books. With 25+ years of experience nurturing and guiding moms through nursing and pumping woes, you know you’re in good hands. After all, you were never meant to do this alone. ♥️

🤰MYTH OR FACT DOULAS:
There are lots of things that people think they know about doulas and the services they provide. Why not clear some of those up?!

1️⃣ MYTH: doulas are absolutely a great resource to guide you through your planned or unplanned c-section for both birth and postpartum. Many hospitals will even allow the doula in the room with you during the procedure.

2️⃣ MYTH: doulas may have preferences on where they feel most comfortable working (hospital, birth center, home), many of them are fully equipped to meet your needs regardless of where you choose to give birth. *Note that depending on certain certifications, many doulas are required to work with a medical professional (OB or midwife) and not as a solo provider. Be sure to talk with your doula about that.

3️⃣ TRUE: Community Centered Doulas are trained to meet the needs of their clients through childbirth education, birth support, and postpartum support for up to a YEAR after birth. Message us to learn more!

4️⃣ MYTH: doulas are an incredible support for you and your family regardless if it’s your first birth or fifth! We are ready to jump in and meet the needs of you and your family.

5️⃣ MYTH: though many people prefer in-person care (nothing can replace that kind of connection), many doulas also provide virtual support for childbirth education, birth, and postpartum as an alternative to meet your needs.
