Breathing through Birth Doula

Watching you eat isn't a sign of readiness, neither is waking more or feeding more.
My son was i think 3 months or under here, we could sort of prop him up in a high chair with cushioning so we could all eat, and he loved watching and would have his hands in his mouth but no WAY was he ready.

We started solids at 6 months, he finally started eating at TEN MONTHS.

I met a baby yesterday who's pediatrician prescribed an anti-acid blocking drug for "spitting up". Babies are increasingly being prescribed PPIs.

Infants who take PPIs in the first 6 months of life have an increased risk of breaking a bone, and the longer they take them, the greater the risk. PPIs have also been associated with increased risk of death, pancreatic cancer, Clostridium difficile, kidney disease, inability to produce stomach acid, stomach infections, cardiovascular events, and more.

Let's work together to find the ROOT cause of your babies spitting up, NOT do more harm than good to their little tummies.

Babies who are exposed to table foods too early in life have a higher degree of allergic reactions due to potential antigenic protein content of foods. There are lower reports of infections in breastfed infants and decreased allergy-related conditions like atopic eczema due to the permeability of a babies intestines.

Don't be in a rush to feed baby solid food. Wait at least 6 months until their gut is developmentally ready!

What is the value of having a Labor, Birth and Postpartum doula? ☮️
This is a small sample of what I offer as a doula! During your pregnancy I provide the most up to date nutritional information to make sure you are nourished, body balancing/yoga to help your body prepare for birth, to provide the pro's and con's of birth choices so you can make informed decisions, help you prepare a birth plan, provide emotional support before and after baby, assist with breastfeeding, be there during your birth to support you and your partner. Or be your partner if one is not available. I help you with labor positioning to keep labor progressing, provide comfort, teach you HypnoBirthing tools to have as pain-free birth as possible, support your choices and insure they are adhered to at your birth. I stay with you after baby arrives until baby is nursing well. Then home visit postpartum support to help you have a smooth transition with this new little human you have created! ❤️❤️
Accepting fall due dates!
