Great info 💕

Newborn Stomach Capacity

Day 1: 5–7 ml (0.1–0.2 oz) – about the size of a cherry
Day 3: 22–27 ml (0.8–1 oz) – about the size of a walnut
Week 1: 45–60 ml (1.5–2 oz) – about the size of an apricot
1 Month: 80–150 ml (2.5–5 oz) – about the size of a large egg
By one month, most lactating parents are producing close to the full amount of milk their baby will ever need.

Even as your baby grows, the total daily volume of milk stays about the same from one month onward. What does change is the feeding pattern—how often and how long your baby nurses may shift, but the overall intake remains steady.

Love this!
Truth!

Babies can't learn to walk without support. Every baby should have a standard, big box walker so they learn to walk. Sure, babies are hard wired to learn to walk but we simply cannot trust them to do so. Nope.

Sounds a bit ridiculous, huh?

In reality, we coach and coax and support and clap as our babies pull themselves up and wiggle, and eventually, take off walking. It's a process which doesnt happen overnight and the range of normal varies quite a bit.

We also recognize that some children DO need help walking. When that's the case, we have interventions available like orthotics, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and yes, walkers BUT they're designed properly and specifically for the child's needs.

But outside a child NEEDING professional support, we simply trust they will learn to walk with a little support from their family and a lot of inate curiosity.

So, if birth is also a normal human function, why do we not trust that *most* bodies are capable of doing it without lots of intervention? Why do we not trust the range of normal?

Our culture suggests that intervention is the rule rather than the exception. Our birth culture tells us not to expect things to work out.

What if we treated birth like learning to walk? We pull up to prepare. We experience a bit of starting and stopping with early dilation. And as long as things progress in the normal range (37+0 to 42+0), without signs of concerns (good vitals for mom and baby) we just trust that birth can happen? That our bodies are meant to tackle this.

Just like a kiddo learning to walk, the support is there if we need it. We can start slow with a hand. And only if there's a problem or a sign (e.g. a known challenge) we add in a tailored intervention specific to the problem at hand rather than a cheap one size fits all approach.

No one is saying interventions are inherently wrong. No one is saying everyone can and should have a physiological birth. But isn't it a bit odd we trust *some* aspects of the human body and not others?

What if it became the norm to expect birth to go well, and start and progress on its own, while having the interventions available only as needed /desired?

This!

Yes, 37 weeks falls under term. And some babies will naturally come at that time.

But that doesn't mean YOUR baby is ready.
While we don't know the *exact* trigger for all labor, we do know that when baby's lungs are mature, they release proteins that trigger inflammation that eventually causes labor to begin.

We expect healthy babies to trigger labor around 37-42 weeks.

If you're pregnant, you can do ALL tips and tricks to "trigger" labor but it's really up to baby. Being 37 weeks does not mean baby is ready.

👇🏽 When did you spontaneously go into labor?

# get your power back

A study found a lack of confidence about birth is associated with perception of childbirth as traumatic. This seems to be more evidence that the role of a doula could reduce the likelihood of birth trauma.

How? Doulas help parents learn about birth, understand what to expect, prepare them to make informed decisions – all of which increase confidence, also known as self-efficacy.

We also provide continuous labor support. This allows us to continue to build their confidence throughout the labor process.

The study examined how a pregnant person’s self-efficacy (their confidence in their ability to birth) relates to their perception of childbirth as traumatic. The results showed a significant negative correlation: lower birth self-efficacy was associated with higher perceptions of childbirth as traumatic.

TLDR: Fear can increase trauma
