The power of skin go skin, dad style!

“Research shows just 30 minutes of skin to skin with dad on the first day of a newborn actually rewires dad’s brain. Stimulating many hormones especially Dopmine and Oxytocin so dads get connected to their babies and want to nurture them.” YES. Dads, get those cuddles in! ❤️

Hey mamas to be!

I am a doula, childbirth educator and lactation counselor running a virtual Pregnancy Support group on Wednesdays in the month of November...if you haven't found a community of pregnant women, this might be the one you're looking for!

The support group will be a "lunch break" format - 1 hour, BYO lunch! In addition to the weekly live meetups, you'll be invited to join a private Slack group so you can continue conversations throughout the week.

I like to give out the links securely, so please PM or email kim@birth-to-baby.com if you're interested in joining!

Please share around :)

Just another benefit of breastfeeding I've never heard before. Honestly the list never ends!

Let's make sure all working women have adequate SPACE AND TIME to pump breast milk while at work!

The PUMP Act , HR 3110, is scheduled to be voted on Friday, Oct 22.
Have you called your Representative yet? If not, please do!
If so, please call again!
Calling again will let your Rep know how strongly you care.
Your Congressperson's staff is counting the calls every day.
Please share your thoughts with your Congressperson about this bipartisan bill which would ensure 9 million more employees get time and space to express milk at work.
These days leading up to the House vote on Friday are a critical time for the PUMP Act. A strong, bipartisan vote in favor of passage will smooth the way for the bill when it gets to the Senate.
You don't even have to know your Representative's contact info! The links below will take you to your own Rep when you put in your zip code.

Amazing! Human milk is arguably one of the most powerful substances in the world.

Researchers believe such antibodies could be used to treat people with severe coronavirus

When will we begin to normalize FEEDING THE BABY?!

Ultra-runner Sophie Power taking time out during a marathon to breastfeed her 3-month-old baby while simultaneously expressing. She says: 'The fact I was doing it in public seemed to surprise many people more than the fact I was running 106 miles 3 months after giving birth.'

Wat to go breastfeeding advocates!

I'm also incredibly impressed that Olympic athletes are still competing at such a high level post partum.

Between exhaustion, sharing their bodies, and the demands of new babies... 👏👏👏 Hats off, Olympians! 🧢

Initially, COVID restrictions wouldn't allow nursing athletes to bring their babies to the games.

Great listen. New moms need ALL the affirmation! Breastfeeding may be natural, but it's not instinctual. It is learned back practiced again and again.

There are many unreliable signs that people follow to determine if breastfeeding is going well. We are sharing the reliable signs.
