In May we have two opportunities to take Birthing from Within. First is our 6 week series, perfect for those who need some time to digest the information and create community. The second opportunity is our weekend intensive, May 30-31; this is perfect for those who want all that Birthing from Within has to offer, but need/want it done in a weekend.

Either way, you will gain valuable tools for not only understanding birth, but understanding yourself, your partner, your relationship, and how to enter parenthood supported and held.

We can't wait to sit with you and mentor you through this transformational journey.

It’s World Doula Week and in true doula fashion, it’s been busy over here and this is the first chance I’ve had to post anything!
I thought for this world doula week it would be good to break down some of the myths we hear most often. If you know me, you know I love an opportunity to do some myth busting, so join me!
Do you have any questions, any myths you’ve heard that you want our take on?

For the last 4 years, we have had a little corner in our office that has been dedicated to reducing waste in our community. Swap Corner has been our own little buy nothing group and has served so many families!
Did you know that when it gets full, or as we get closer to the GALS Community Baby Shower, all donations are sent over there to help other families in need?
We love partnering with them and making our community a better place. In partnering with them, we are also working on making sure all donations given to them are ready for them to give right away.
A few guidelines we are instituting now for donations will help everyone!
1. Please bring all bottles clean and put together.
2. Pumps can only be accepted if you have all the pump parts (tubing, duck bills, flanges, back flow protectors, bottles, etc.)
3. Please put clothing in ziplock bags with the size marked on the bag. We can accept Preemie - 2T clothing and maternity clothing.
4. Large items (carseats, strollers, cribs, etc.) should be cleared with us first to make sure we have room

For the rest of our guidelines and how you can help us, please scan the QR code.

We love our community and love how you all continue to show up for each other!

In the summer of 2022, I sat on the couch in our office with a lovely woman who wanted to become a doula. We talked about the work, the different training methods, what brought us to the work, and so much more. That day, I knew I had met someone who was going to come into birthwork with such thought and intention and make such a huge impact in people’s lives.
Over the next 10 months, Leanna came to every mentorship group she could and learned as much as she possibly could. In May 2023, she finished her Birthing from Within training and we asked her to join our team. 
She has been such a gift to Austin Doula Care. She brings joy, intention, poetry, thought, and baked goods (true Pieces Queen that she is) to every encounter. Not only is she a birth and postpartum doula but also teaches our Birthing from Within 6 week series classes and Second Time Around classes.
Today we celebrate her birth, and we say goodbye at the same time. As many of our doulas do when they gain their footing and confidence, Leanna is ready to stretch her wings and fly into the solo life of doula work. We are so honored to have been her first doula home and are grateful she will still be with us teaching.
Help us say happy birthday to this lovely soul and wish her well on this next chapter of work. We love you so much, Leanna and can’t wait to see what comes next for you!!!!

This month’s lactation tip is all about pumps! We get so many questions about which pump is best, and the simple answer to that is; the pump that works best for your body is the best one for you. However, it’s important to understand the what’s and why’s of the different pumps.

Suction Pump - These were initially marketed as a milk collectors and helped people were able to passively build their milk stash. In recent years though, lactation professionals have seen people having an accidental oversupply caused by these suction types of pumps. So, it’s important to recognize that the Haakaa and other pumps like this are just that; a pump!
Pros - If it works for you, you can put this on after baby feeds or when the baby is on one side to get the letdown on the other side and store your milk.
Cons - It is really uncomfortable for some people. When used simultaneously with breastfeeding, it might take from what baby would eat on the 2nd side.

Hand Pump - We LOVE a hand pump! These are so handy to have in your bag, keep around when the power goes out (looking at you ERCOT), and anytime you need to relieve a little and still stay attuned to your body.
Pros: Easy to use, lightweight, and portable
Cons: Not as efficient as a double electric pump

Double Electric Pump - These are your primary pumps, your powerhouses. These guys put in the work and provide great stimulation to either initiate or maintain milk supply.
Pros - Very effective and often covered by insurance.
Cons - Learning curve, big and bulky, and not cheap.

Wearable Electric Pump - Who doesn’t love a wearable?? These are fantastic once your milk supply is established and you’re on the go!
Pros: Pump on the go! Very easy to use anywhere.
Cons: Doesn’t yield as much as your primary pump, sometimes harder for those with large chests to use.

Whatever you use, know you have options, there are lots of choices out there, and make sure you work with an IBCLC to ensure the right fit!
