Welcome home with your newborn. Picture this: You have finally arrived safely at home postpartum with your new little wiggly bundle, thankful to be off the terrifyingly dangerous roads that just 48 hours ago seemed like a great way to get from point A to point B. Now that you’re home safe and sound,… Continue Reading The Perfect First Night Home With Your Newborn
I use to be judgmental. Before I had kids I had very definite ideas about how children should be raised, how children should act in public, and of course, what type of parent I would be. After I had my first, I still had some pretty strong feelings along these lines. What can I say?… Continue Reading How Judgment Made Me a Better Doula
Just about any conversations you have with a new parent will, at some point, involve the words. “I haven’t had a shower in __ days!” Before you have children, simple things like when to shower, seem trivial and automatic.

Here in the Pikes Peak Region you have a lot of choices when it comes to doulas.

Then you don’t have to. It really is as simple as that. Over the last few years the push to get back to breastfeeding and increase the rates of long term breastfeeding has increased at a steady pace. We all know why it’s important, we all know the science, but there are many many reasons… Continue Reading What if I Don’t WANT to Breastfeed?
This is the last in my Breastfeeding Sabotage Series, but I would argue that it is the very most important one. Even if your overall health during pregnancy was stellar; if you had a 100% natural birth with no interventions that made breastfeeding difficult; if you had the very best IBCLC in your hospital room immediately postpartum;… Continue Reading Breastfeeding Sabotage in Your Support System (Part 6)
