Tell me what a postpartum mom needs the most besides sleep and physical support. Something tangible, something that can be brought to them!!!

Walk into a room while I am supporting a birth and you might think that I am just sitting there doing nothing. I won’t be talking. I won’t be touching the client. I won’t be using anything in my bag.

So what am I doing exactly?

🪑 Watching mom’s breathing and sometimes breathing loudly alongside her to remind her to slow down her breath

🪑 Scanning mom’s body during the contraction to make sure that she isn’t holding any tension

🪑 Monitoring the temperature and lighting to create the peaceful environment that she desires

🪑 Calculating how long it has been since she emptied her bladder

🪑 Thinking about how long she has been in her current position and thinking about the next position that she might try

🪑 Timing contractions to see if they are longer, stronger and closer together

🪑 Thinking about when mom and her partner last had a snack

🪑 Reviewing her preferences to make sure that everything is going according to her plan

🪑 Giving the couple space to connect on an intimate level (allowing for oxytocin) and/or guiding the partner to be the lead support

🪑 Updating notes and capturing labor flow

Sometimes just being fully present is enough. Sometimes just knowing I am there in close proximity is all mom needs to be able to relax and focus on what she needs to do. Sometimes just holding space for them in an unbiased manner allows for a noticeable shift in the energy of the room.

And the list goes on….

This is a good reminder, but also so cute!!!

A WONDERFUL reminder! 👇😊💜💕
As the holiday season approaches, it may be tempting to offer your little one a few bites of mashed potatoes. As a reminder, here are the signs that baby is ready for solids:

▪️Baby is at least 6 months old
▪️Baby can sit up without support
▪️Baby no longer has tongue-thrust reflex
▪️Baby is able to chew/mash gums
▪️Baby can use a pincer grasp
▪️Baby is interested in solids

Remember, all of these must be present before offering baby solids. If baby isn’t showing all these signs, it’s best to wait until baby is developmentally ready before offering solids.
