Swaddling is an amazing skill to help newborns find calm in this outside world. Always make sure Baby is on their back when swaddled. The wrap shouldn’t be too tight, and hips should be allowed to move. Stop swaddling when Baby starts to roll over. Sleep sacks may be the next step.

Contact your Four States Doulas for more information on keeping Baby safe. We offer Baby Care Basics classes, with one specific to safety.

Everyone probably knows that the safest place for a child under the age of 13 is the backseat. You might be surprised, though, to find out that the middle of the backseat is even better. It will depend on your backseat’s car and booster seat accommodations if this works for your family.

September is Infant Safety Month. You have most likely heard once your new little adventure starts to get mobile, you’ll want to “baby proof” your home. But what does that mean? Check out some suggestions from the Consumer Product Safety Commission at https://www.cpsc.gov/safety-education/safety-guides/kids-and-babies/Childproofing-Your-Home

Happy Labor Day! But, really, babies wait for no one, and they love holidays, full moons, and thunderstorms.

No one but YOU gets to determine your nursing journey (well, maybe Baby gets to weigh in somewhat).

Family, ever hear the one about opinions are like rectums? Everyone’s got one! True enough, but other people’s opinions about YOUR breast/chest feeding YOUR BABY need not be a factor.

Start practicing now what you can say when faced with someone chiming in. There’s not one way to do this either. From “Butt out!” to “I appreciate your perspective, and yet I do not agree.” You do you, Boo!

Relaxin is just another beautiful and fascinating hormone that leaves us in awe of the amazing things our bodies do, especially during pregnancy.

A word of caution, though…if you regularly participate in physical activity, like yoga, running, or even strength training, be careful not to push yourself too far. If you’ve never achieved say splits and suddenly can, you could be damaging your tissues, which will cause you pain or discomfort.

If you pick up physical fitness during pregnancy, start slow with maybe a daily walk rather than HITT class.

Remember that parental advice from childhood…
“Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”

Reach out to Four States Doulas for doula services, classes, and yoga. Doulas are a wealth of knowledge.

Our Story

Four States Doulas is a collective of individual doulas and other birth-related service professionals. While researching local doulas for one of her former students, Doula Jaimee discovered that there were almost no doulas in the Ark-La-Tex. She also found that there was a strong desire to have this resource for all families. Circumstances started to fall into place with all of the signs pointing Jaimee and her husband, Chad, to finally make their long-desired trek to return “home” to Texarkana.

Jaimee and Chad started making connections with professionals in the birth community while simultaneously preparing their home in Plano for sale. Within just a few months, they were on their way back home and had gathered a Tribe of women ready to serve their communities. Check out our Sisterhood page to meet our doulas.
