Will never stop loving this picture of at our branding photoshoot back in 2021. We asked the doulas to bring something that encapsulated who they are or represented a hobby of theirs. At the time, Ashleigh had been exclusively pumping for her baby for months, so of course the pump just made sense!

“World Breast Pumping Day is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the time, energy, and dedication pumping requires; it’s a chance to honor the love in every ounce.” We see you, fellow pumpers! You’re doing an amazing job!

💛 Colostrum is the first milk your body makes (starting around 16 weeks of pregnancy) and it makes the perfect first food for your baby! Here’s what it’s made of:
• antibodies - Coat and protect baby’s gut, helping prevent infections from bacteria, viruses, and allergens
• leukocytes (white blood cells) - actively fight infections and train the immune system
• lactoferrin - binds iron so harmful bacteria can’t use it to grow
• lysozyme - breaks down harmful bacteria by destroying their cell walls
• growth factors - help mature and heal the baby’s gut lining
• cytokines - support immune system development and reduce inflammation
• Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) - feed beneficial gut bacteria and block pathogens from attaching to baby’s intestinal lining
• Proteins - provide essential building blocks for growth and immune function
• fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, & K - support vision, immune health, brain development, and blood clotting. Vitamin A is what gives colostrum its golden color!
• minerals - support immune function, fluid balance, nerve signaling, and enzyme activity
• carbohydrates - easy to digest and provide energy
• probiotics - help seed the baby’s gut microbiome
• anti-inflammatory compounds - calm inflammation and protect against tissue damage
• digestive enzymes - help babies digest fats and carbs more efficiently
💛 It’s just really really super cool! Even if you don’t plan to breastfeed, you can still express colostrum for your baby!

Did you know doulas are not anti-epidural? That’s a common misconception, but we truly want you to birth in the way that feels safest for you. Sometimes that means utilizing an epidural for pain management!
🤝
Your doula should be skilled in supporting you in early and early-active labor, before you get your epidural, AND they should be equally skilled in supporting you after epidural administration!
🤝
Check out our team to find your doula today!

Have you ever wondered how a doula helps you prepare for your birth? Typically we meet with you for two prenatal appointments. In these appointments we:
• get to know you and your partner
• get acquainted with your home space (so we can serve you in labor without asking a million questions about where you keep stuff)
• discuss your wishes for your birth
• educate about topics you need more information on
• teach positions and stretches for pregnancy to help baby take an optimal birth position
• practice positions and comfort techniques for labor and birth that are unique to your space and body
• discuss and reform fears
• build a birth plan and practice discussing with your provider
• prepare for postpartum (this is so important)
• AND SO MUCH MORE!
🌱
These appointments are flexible and meant to uniquely support YOU and what YOU need from this time! Want to make pad-sickles while we talk about your birth plan? You got it. Need to spend extra time practicing side-lying release because you have been feeling exhausted and disconnected? We got you. Want your partner to learn affirmations to say to you in labor? Let’s do it! Worried about how past trauma might come up in labor? Let’s talk and make a plan. These appointments are for you!

Doulas + partners = 🤝
We get some iteration of this question all the time! Is a doula needed if a partner will be present? We have a couple answers to this:
• You love your partner in a way that will keep all the awesome oxytocin flowing! When you are moving through labor, partners keep the hormones and safe place feeling going, while doulas have your back (or hips!) We’re taking care of both of you so you can stay in your love bubble 🫶
• We want to set your partner up for success and help them support you the best way they can! This means prenatal education, swapping off physical support during the birth, giving partners a chance to eat and drink and rest to keep their energy up, being the barometer of normal for partners, quietly pointing out the ways they can show up for you, etc.

Doulas don’t replace partners and partners don’t replace doulas! We complement one another’s support.
