I know I haven’t posted anything to this page in a long time…and this one may ruffle a few feathers, but it’s something I feel strongly about. The evidence doesn’t lie! Feed-play-sleep is not supportive of continued breastfeeding. ❤️

Unless your healthcare provider, sleep specialist or sleep consultant is informing you that using a feed-play-sleep routine is associated with early breastfeeding cessation you are being let down.

Feeding to sleep is the biological norm and continuing to do so past 6 months and into the toddler years is not a sleep problem or negative sleep association and is actually associated with prolonged breastfeeding.

Feed-play-sleep jeopardises the breastfeeding relationship and that should be spelled out before any parent is expected to follow it as a recommendation for their family.

Great nutritional info for healthy pregnancy and motherhood to be found at Functional Maternity. Also, Sarah is here in NoCo so if you’re local she is a fabulous resource and practitioner for helping you achieve functional health through pregnancy and beyond.

A 2011 study set out to discover the dietary needs for vitamin D in pregnancy.

At the time, this was a bold study that countered all previously known measures of vitamin D in pregnancy. The researchers’ goal was to raise and maintain serum 25(OH)D levels at a minimum of 32 ng/mL throughout
pregnancy. What they found was that a dosage of 4,000 IU/day(d) safely maintained these levels. There was not a single adverse event during the trial that could be attributed to the dosage of vitamin D. This single study changed the course of how nutritional science viewed vitamin D in pregnancy.

Several other studies followed and found that higher doses of vitamin D are not only safe but also reduce the risk of cesarean delivery, reduce the risk of preterm birth, decrease complications in pregnancy, and decrease the incidence of gestational diabetes.

Having should not prevent you from having close contact with your baby. 👶🏻👶🏼👶🏽👶🏾👶

Early and exclusive breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact is critical for the baby’s health, especially for babies born early or small.

Yes to this! 💞

Imagine how intense hunger must feel when you’ve only ever known complete satisfaction...

Imagine how lonely a crib must feel when you have only ever experienced the cramped tight embrace of your Mama’s womb...

Imagine how deafening silence must be when you have never not heard the beating of your Mama’s heart...

Let’s all have grace and patience for the babies as they adapt to life in the big wide world. These first few months should not be a race to be separated as soon as possible. This season too shall pass 🌿

Last night I had the honor of providing support and companionship alongside some of my doula sisters at the annual Walk to Remember in Fort Collins.

This event exists to support bereaved parents and families in their grief journey. It’s a night full of love and tears, heartbreak and healing. It was hard. And so very beautiful.

Such truth here. The newborn days are both achingly beautiful and devastatingly difficult. Right in that space of both-and is where new moms live. Know that because it feels hard does not mean you’re doing it wrong.
