Thinking about posting an April fools pregnancy prank? Please... don't do it.

If you're planning to prank people with a fake pregnancy announcement this April Fools' Day, I urge you to rethink it. A joke like this can have a deeper impact than you might realize, especially for those who have gone through pregnancy loss.

Crying is a late feeding cue. 😭

It’s harder to get your baby to settle and nurse if they’re frantically crying before you pick then up and offer the breast.

Keep them close and watch for early feeding clues instead of waiting for them to cry.

( and for the win!)

Were you told never to wake a sleeping baby? Newborns are often very sleepy for many reasons. It’s best to wake your baby for feedings every 2 to 3 hours around the clock until they’ve regained their birth weight and are gaining weight consistently.

[Image Description: Infographic featuring a photo of an infant being held by its mother. Text reads, "Myth: You should never wake a sleeping baby. Fact: During the newborn period, many babies are very sleepy and may not wake on their own to eat. Until a consistent pattern of weight gain has been confirmed, parents should wake their baby to feed a minimum of eight times in 24 hours."]

Did you know that birth doulas work in a variety of settings? Not just home births, contrary to popular belief!

Birth doulas adapt to each environment while providing the same continuous care, comfort, and reassurance throughout labor, whether that be at home, in birthing center, or a hospital.💪🏽

Their support isn’t tied to a location; it’s centered on the needs and desires of the family.

As part of our February series, ‘Birth Support, Explained,’ we went back to basics on what birth doula support is; thank you for following along with us.💜
