Doulas and Partners - The Perfect Team!
I am often asked if doulas replace or take away from the partner's role in labor support. The answer is absolutely not. We are a team, an extra set of hands (because dad can't hold his partner up and squeeze hips at the same time), and a vessel of knowledge on all things labor. We support both parents so they can soak in all the moments of joy on this big day, without the stress and fear.

This is a real picture of real labor support with one of our amazing families and our doula, Tia. Dad's got Mom in his arms, giving her the strength she needs, and Tia's got the counter pressure providing much-needed pain relief under the loving watch of their midwife.

Want to learn more about how doulas can support partners in labor so they can be the support moms need? Reach out to us today for a complimentary consultation to talk about your vision for birth. We can't wait to meet you :-)

A follow up to my last video. As a postpartum doula who has fed hundreds of babies at this point in my career, there are a few things I notice that point to a potential feeding issue. My goal is to get families the proper help before little signs become big issues. Often pediatricians tend to wait until there are red flags to validate concerns and address issues but I think care should be more proactive when there are soft signs of struggle. I am not qualified to diagnose or treat any feeding issues but I will always share concerns with families and get them connected with the right support when things venture into not normal territory.

Feeding issues in the first few weeks can feel so daunting. But it's pretty common and there are a lot of resources for support ♥️

Hi👋 I'm Tia Wente, co-founder of Chicagoland Birth and Baby!
My goal is to help every family have a better birth and postpartum experience. But what does "better" look like?
🔵A birth free from physical and emotional trauma.
🔵A birth team that enthusiastically supports you.
🔵Knowledge about the process of birth.
🔵Confidence in your ability to birth your baby.
🔵Support so you feel cared for and celebrated.
🔵Feeding support to lessen postpartum stress.
🔵A clear understanding of postpartum healing.
🔵A journey you can look back on fondly and not fearfully.

It is no secret that our US maternal and infant outcomes are not where they should be. But I am on a mission to spread the word that birth and postpartum do not have to feel so hard. With the right support team and resources, you can have a beautiful journey into parenthood and beyond. Doula support is backed by research to support improved outcomes for both moms and babies. You don't have to accept the expectations we have all been shown by popular media about birth and postpartum; set your family up for so much better.

Reach out to me today to learn more about our small team of passionate birth professionals and how we can support your family every step of the way.

No one can replace your partner in the birth space, but doulas can support you both! We want partners to fully enjoy and embrace the experience without having to worry about the what-ifs, how to help, and when they can grab a bite to eat or a restroom break. Let us help your partner be fully present for *you*.
