Majority of my honeys reach out after babee arrives because of pain or something is “just off” with feeding. Don’t prepare after the latch hurts.

You’ve heard it a million times here and far 🗣️prepare before babee arrives. But it’s true.

The prenatal breastfeeding class The First Latch now combines breastfeeding education and gentle infant massage techniques that teach new moms evidence based and hands on approach to feeding, what to notice, what to do gently at home, and when to ask for help after birth.

Classes are virtual and in person for the south metro ATL area.

Reserve your babee’s care today!!

What sets off labour when a baby is ready to be delivered has long been a mystery, but now it seems that the immune system pulls the trigger. The uterus appears to start contracting after immune cells transfer energy to its muscle cells via tiny tubes. ⁠
⁠
“By understanding all the steps along the road, we’re getting closer to identifying therapeutics for preventing preterm birth,” says Stephen Lye at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Canada.⁠
⁠
Lye and his colleagues previously found that, towards the end of pregnancy, the human uterus releases signalling molecules called cytokines and chemokines into the bloodstream. These usher immune cells called monocytes from the blood into the uterus. The monocytes accumulate in the muscle tissue of the uterus and turn into other immune cells called macrophages.⁠
⁠
In the latest study, the team investigated the role of these macrophages by incubating them with muscle cells from uterus biopsies collected from pregnant women undergoing Caesarean sections at full term. “Remarkably, we found that the macrophages made these little tube-like structures that attached to the muscle cells,” says Lye.⁠
⁠
Even more remarkably, the researchers could see the macrophages sending mitochondria through these tiny tubes into the muscle cells. “In the images we took, you can see tons and tons of these mitochondria passing into the muscle cells,” says Lye.⁠

There is something different about being able to slow down and ask the questions you might’ve forgot to ask or afraid to ask in a group of unfamiliar people. Especially about your breasts.

Consider private care.

Not a classroom full of strangers.
Not information rushed into 90 minutes because I talk a lot.
A private space to prepare for your birth and breastfeeding experience.

Before the latch comes the preparation

Because families don’t just need someone who wants to “help.”

They need someone who is prepared to help.

You don’t need to arrive as the expert. You need to arrive willing to learn.

The right training can turn your compassion into practical skills, your uncertainty into confidence, and your desire to serve into a real doula practice.

Comment TRAIN if you’re ready to stop wondering whether you could do this—and start preparing to do it well.
