Good Morning! happy Monday 🥰

Coming to you raw, bright eyed and bushy tailed early on this beautiful last Monday of June ☀️

Feeling full of gratitude and joy starting this day after 2 amazing nights with one of my favorite (yes they are ALL my favorites) 12 week old baby buddies 💕

We (my team and I) have worked hard together with this sweet baby and family to create a lovely foundation of night rhythm & routine. The road was not always smooth but everyone’s hard work is paying off!

Enjoy these scenes from the morning after my postpartum doula overnight 🌙 We’ve been together since his first night home ✨

My heart & cup are still full after an incredible 1st ever Bud to Blossom Client Appreciation Celebration earlier this month!

I am beyond grateful for all of our amazing clients, who honored us over the last 11 years, by allowing us to come into their homes and support them through the tender early days, weeks and months with their new babies 💕

Sitting back and watching as our clients connected with each other and shared their stories was a treasured experience. I was humbled as I listened to the various ways we impacted their lives for the better.

To my fabulous team…. Words cannot truly express my gratitude for you! I am so proud of us and the important work we do. Bud to Blossom wouldn’t be what it is without you 🥰

What’s even more incredible is how we are all aligned in our vision, mission & purpose ~ to help make life easier for parents of new babies! To provide the support, education and resources needed to give families the best start possible!

This is a little sneak peek of the party 🥳 more photos and videos to come. We were all so focused on being fully immersed in the moments, none of us thought to take many photos ♥️ I can’t wait to share more once they are ready!

Feeling grateful and bursting with pride & joy!

A couple teammates were not able to be at the event. Karen Phippen & Nancy Saperstone, you were missed but with us in spirit!

Today has been so awesome ~ I just have to share!

Starting with an overnight with my sweet little 3 week old baby buddy. We had a great night! He’s already getting into a lovely night rhythm, adjusting well to life outside the womb.

Mom & Dad are also adjusting well with child #3 ♥️ Mornings with the family make my heart so happy. Everyone is well rested and all smiles! Observing as they flow through their morning greeting the day. My heart is full knowing our support is a big part of the peace that is felt in this house.

After my overnight, I head home for my sacred nap where I refuel, recharge & reset :)

Next up our Monthly Monday Team Meeting! I’m absolutely overflowing with deep gratitude for my incredible team of postpartum doulas!

I feel so lucky and honored to be surrounded & supported by such special, dedicated, hard working, passionate compassionate doulas! We do such beautiful & important work supporting and making life easier for parents of newborn babies 💜

Almost everyone was able to gather today for a spring prepping and planning session. **we missed those who couldn’t be there. Oh boy do we have some exciting things brewing ✨

Happy World Doula Week!!

It is our joy and honor to be doulas 💕 Being a postpartum doula is more than a job, it’s a calling! We are so lucky to get to be the greeters of precious & beautiful new souls! We hold the of space for new parents as they heal after birth and recenter after welcoming a new baby into their home.

The postpartum time period is fragile, tender, messy, full of joy and incredibly intimate. We see parents at their happiest and most vulnerable moments.

We take our role very seriously! We are WITH YOU every step of the way ~ from Bud to Blossom 🌼

When meeting Royce (.porter33) for the first time I was instantly fascinated by his unique approach to holistic occupational therapy!

This podcast (see comments) he explains what he does in relation to pregnancy, birth & postpartum. But his holistic OT can be used in all phases of life and by all ages. Having pain or trouble with function - doing basic movements or actions? Royce may be able to help you get to the bottom of it.

We had a wonderfully informative meeting team meeting learning all about holistic pelvic floor occupational therapy, how it can help through pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond!

Check out this podcast he did with ( podcast) talking all about what he does! Podcast link in comments 👇

Keep your routine the same.

Start shifting bedtime (and nap time)15 minutes earlier each night (start of bedtime and actual lights out).

These tips are for parents too:

Get baby where they can see the sunset / sunrise
Sunset walks are fabulous.

On the porch or anywhere outside.

Even a window will work.

~ When baby’s body gets to experience the sunset or sunrise this resets their Circadian Rhythm (their body clock) and = good sleep.

During the day, get baby in the sun or outside as much as possible.

Shift start of nap time back 15 minutes each day as well.

Expect some resistance, extra loves (to you all) stay the course and everything will sort out, give yourself and baby lots of grace.

Start this process as soon as you can, even if it’s tomorrow or after.

As the days stay lighter longer, consider shifting bedtime later, it’s hard for babies(and everyone) to fall asleep when it’s light out (just a thought as we move through spring towards summer).

If you are struggling with bedtime or nap time or in any way with your little one’s sleep, reach out for a gentle sleep coach consultation!

Things I can help with:
Sleep struggles 3 months - 3years old

Moving out of the swaddle

Shifting from baby falling asleep in arms to falling asleep on their own

Fighting naps or bedtime

Too early wakes

Frequent waking at night

My approach (not method) is based on appropriate age & development strategies, caregiver responsiveness, calm parental presence, understanding baby’s communication, feeding and sleep needs, holistic perspective looking at everything that is happening during the day & night.

THIS IS A NO CRY IT OUT APPROACH!!

THIS IS NOT SLEEP TRAINING

I support you in supporting your baby in achieving the best possible sleep, creating healthy sleep habits and night/ sleep routines.
