There are SO many ways to prepare for birth these days.

Hospital classes, online courses, private educators, books, podcasts, social media… and honestly, we think that’s a wonderful thing. There is so much information available to expecting parents.

But here’s the thing we see over and over again:

As a first-time parent, you don’t know what you don’t know.

You can spend hours researching hospital packing lists, baby gear and birth preferences, and still find yourself wondering once your baby arrives:

“Is my baby feeding enough?”

“Is this normal newborn sleep?”

“How is my partner actually supposed to help?”

“What happens if my birth doesn’t go according to plan?”

“What do I need to know about things like Vitamin K or RSV prevention?”

“What do I do if I have questions once I’m home?”

These are the conversations we really want to prioritize in our prenatal class.

Between the two of us, we attend deliveries, care for newborns in hospital, support families with feeding, and are lactation consultants. We see firsthand where families feel confident—and where they often feel caught off guard.

Our goal isn’t to tell you what choices to make.

It’s to make sure you have accurate, up-to-date information so you can make informed choices for yourself and your baby.

We also believe prenatal education should include something that doesn’t always get enough attention: your relationship with your partner. Bringing home a newborn is one of the biggest shifts you’ll experience as a couple, and understanding how to support one another matters.

Our class is one 5-hour, in-person session designed to prioritize the things we believe you genuinely need to know before bringing your baby home.

We’ll cover birth and advocacy, newborn care, feeding, sleep expectations, partner support, current Canadian recommendations, and so much more.

And you don’t just leave with a bunch of information and hope you remember it all. We provide resources after class so you can go back and revisit what we talked about—and we’re still here as a home base for questions and support once your baby arrives.

We truly hope that whatever prenatal education you choose leaves you feeling informed, confident and supported.

And if you’re looking for a class that focuses on the things that actually matter once your baby is here, we’d love to have you join us. 🤍

If I could break newborn care down into its simplest form, there are really TWO things to prioritize when bringing home a new baby:

1. Feed your baby. 🍼
2. Maintain your sanity. 🤍

Of course, prenatal education should cover labour, delivery, C-sections, interventions, complications, and newborn care.

But labour and delivery, while incredibly important, are a relatively short part of your overall transition into parenthood.

Once that baby is born, you’re caring for them day after day.

That’s why feeding and parental wellbeing are such a huge focus in the prenatal education Sarah and I provide.

A baby who is feeding effectively is more likely to be settled and sleeping reasonably well — which can create little pockets of time for you to get what YOU need.

And priority #2 is maintaining your sanity.

The newborn stage is hard. We want families to go into it with realistic expectations and a plan for how both parents will get some restorative sleep, divide and conquer, and keep the household functioning.

Who’s handling meals? Laundry? Dishes? Pets? What can you simplify? What can you let go of?

These are the conversations we want you having before you’re exhausted and overwhelmed.

I really leaned into this during a private prenatal class I taught yesterday for a family preparing to bring home twins. When you’re preparing for two newborns at once, stripping things back to the basics becomes even more important.

You don’t need to have everything figured out. You need to understand the fundamentals, have realistic expectations, and have a plan for caring for your baby AND yourselves.

Sarah and I offer both private prenatal classes (in person or virtually) and in-person group classes.

Our next group prenatal is Saturday, September 12 from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. at Bumbleboo, Medicine Hat.

✈️ Upcoming Family Vacation

To all of my amazing sleep, feeding, and potty training families, I wanted to give everyone a heads-up that I will be away with my family from July 16–28.

This is our very first trip to Europe together, and I am so excited to unplug, be fully present with my husband and kids, and make memories together. As much as I love what I do, I also know how important it is to model taking time to recharge so I can come back refreshed and ready to support the families I work with.

If you are a current client and think you may need any troubleshooting, clarification, or support with your child’s sleep, feeding, or potty training plan while I’m away, please reach out before July 14th. I have a handful of appointments available next week for sleep refresher calls, feeding and potty training follow-ups, and additional email support so we can make sure you feel confident before I leave.

I always encourage my current clients to reach out whenever questions come up, but I do want everyone to know that my work email will only be checked intermittently while I’m away, and responses may not come until the end of July. One of the things I value most is being responsive and available to the families I work with, so I wanted to give everyone plenty of notice and the opportunity to connect before I leave.

If you’ve been thinking about booking a consultation:

• I will not be taking any new sleep clients until the end of July.
• I do have one consultation spot available next week for either a feeding or potty training family before I leave.

To every family who has trusted me to be part of your parenting journey—thank you. Whether we’ve worked together on sleep, feeding, or potty training, it has truly been an honour to support your family. I never take your trust for granted, and I am so grateful that you’ve invited me to be a small part of your child’s story!

I hope everyone is having an incredible start to the summer! ☀️ I look forward to reconnecting with all of you at the end of July.

☀️ SUMMER PRENATAL CLASS ADDED! ☀️

We don’t want to leave any families hanging this summer when it comes to preparing for the arrival of their little one, so we’ve added another date for our Not Your Average Prenatal Class!

📅 Saturday, August 8th
⏰ 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
📍 Bumbleboo, Medicine Hat

If prenatal education has been sitting on your never-ending to-do list, consider this your sign to check it off. ✔️

This class is designed to help you and your partner feel prepared, aligned, and supported throughout the remainder of your pregnancy and as you welcome your baby into the world.

We skip long-winded lectures and overwhelming information and instead focus on what you actually want to know about labour, delivery, feeding, newborn care, sleep, postpartum recovery, and those first few weeks at home with your baby.

Our goal is simple: to help you walk away feeling more confident, informed, and ready for what’s ahead.

✨ Have a pregnant friend in your life? Send this their way! Nothing means more to us than families sharing us with their friends and loved ones. We appreciate your support more than you know.

We can’t wait to spend the day with you and help you feel prepared for one of life’s biggest adventures.

What postpartum looked like after my second baby 🤍

Having a second child was a really tough transition for me. All of a sudden, I was trying to meet two children’s completely separate needs, and when you’re mostly doing the childcare solo, days can quickly become overwhelming, overstimulating, and utterly exhausting.

One child needs a snack while the other needs to feed. One is melting down because their routine changed, while the other hasn’t napped all day. It can feel like you are constantly needed by everyone, all at once.

If you have a toddler at home and are preparing for another baby, Sarah and I want families to move confidently through this milestone. Often your toddler is already navigating huge developmental changes during this season — sleep can suddenly become difficult, potty training may be happening, emotions are big, and routines can feel completely flipped upside down.

Meanwhile, your baby’s needs are urgent, and it can feel hard to also be present for your toddler in the way you want to be.

That’s exactly why we created our “Preparing for Baby #2” eBook, coming THIS SUMMER ☀️

Inside, we’ll cover:
• Postpartum recovery
• Newborn care refresher
• Toddler sleep
• Potty training
• Childcare considerations

All in one resource designed to help you feel more confident moving through this transition and growing your family 🤍

If you’d like the opportunity to purchase the eBook when it launches, comment “BABY” below or send us a message and we’ll make sure you receive all the details!

Prenatal Prep, Simplified 🤍

If you’re looking for prenatal prep that actually helps you feel calm, confident, and supported—this is it.

We’re not here to overwhelm you with information you’ll forget. We’re here to guide you through what truly matters so you and your partner feel prepared, empowered, and ready to meet your baby.

And the support doesn’t stop when your prenatal class ends.

Think of us as your on-call nursing support team for those tender, emotional, and often uncertain early days and weeks after baby arrives. The kind of support that helps you exhale a little, trust yourself more, and feel grounded in what you’re doing.

✨ Here’s how to get started:
• Join our in-person group prenatal class on May 23rd at Bumbleboo in Medicine Hat
• Or book a private 1:1 prenatal class (in-person or virtual via Zoom)

✨ Planning to deliver in Medicine Hat or surrounding area?
Pre-book your breastfeeding support so you have reassurance and expert guidance exactly when you need it most.

If you’re ready to stop the mental overwhelm, the endless scrolling, and the second-guessing—this is where we come in. As fellow moms and nurses, we’re here to offer the kind of support that truly makes a difference 🤍

Comment “PREP” or send us a message and we’ll help you get started.

If you’re dealing with feeding challenges, it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out where to start!

It’s not uncommon for us to meet families who have been working with other professionals for weeks — sometimes even months — and could still greatly benefit from more specialized, tailored feeding support. Skipping the opportunity to work with a feeding specialist can mean missing a key piece of the puzzle.

As feeding specialists with over 2000 hours of clinical breastfeeding experience between us, our role is to assess feeding as a whole — looking at every factor that could be impacting your baby’s feeding journey. From there, we guide you toward the right supports if additional pieces need to be addressed.

You don’t have to guess your way through infant feeding challenges 🤍

We’re here to help you feel confident, supported, and informed every step of the way.

Have questions or feeling unsure about your next steps? Send us a DM or book a free phone call through the link in our bio — we’re always happy to offer clarity and reassurance as you figure out what’s best for your family.

We also dive into:

• What actually matters vs. what’s just noise

✨ We’re so excited to announce a new service: In-Hospital Breastfeeding Support ✨

We officially have a specialized feeding package available for families who want expert, personalized breastfeeding support right after birth, when feeding is often first established.

The truth is, those first hours and days can matter so much—and having skilled support in the hospital can make a real difference in how confident and supported you feel as you begin your feeding journey.

That’s why we created a package that comes to you, right after delivery.

Why book with us?
Because you deserve support from professionals who understand both the clinical side of infant feeding and the lived experience of breastfeeding.

We are both moms and registered nurses who have personally experienced the ups and downs of breastfeeding, and we also bring specialized feeding training to support you:

✨ Sarah is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)
✨ Tia is a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and IBCLC candidate

This package includes:
✔ 1.5-hour in-hospital breastfeeding support visit
✔ In-home feeding follow-up after discharge
✔ Breastfeeding e-book
✔ Phone and email follow-up support

This is designed to provide hands-on, personalized care both in those early hospital days and once you’re settling in at home.

Investment: $300
May be covered under nursing services through insurance or a Health Spending Account (HSA).

Interested in booking?
Start by visiting the link in our bios. We always begin with a phone call before booking so we can walk you through the package, answer your questions, and make sure you feel informed and confident about the care you’ll receive.

📍Available for families delivering at Medicine Hat Regional Hospital and residing in Medicine Hat or surrounding area.

We’re so excited to offer this support to local families and help more parents begin their breastfeeding journey with expert guidance from day one. 🤍
