Did you know?

My mother was the person who first inspired be to become a doula.

It was out of her own care and comfort after my first baby, that I truly understood the important of postnatal assistance.

“What I remember most from that time was that my mother was like water, flowing effortlessly into the places that needed filling, in a soothing way.”

“When culturally-congruent doulas are present, outcomes improve. When families receive wraparound support, preterm birth decreases. When care reflects community, babies are born stronger,” said Marlee-I Mystic, the co-executive director of SisterWeb. “That's not a theory. That is practice.”

With the demand for donor infant milk rising, it’s now more imperative than ever for those with an over abundant supply, to donate to milk banks in the US.

According to hmbana4babies, just 1 oz of milk provides up to three feedings for premature and/or medically fragile babies. Woah!

Please consider donating (and learn more about the process) here:

Mothers' Milk Bank Northeast is a nonprofit milk bank providing equitable access to safe, lifesaving, pasteurized donor human milk.
