I haven't quite decided yet, but I'm thinking about reaching out reaching out to solo doulas to see if they would be interested in forming a cooperative.

Hopefully this Information reaches any in need of it

FORMULA SHORTAGE ⚠️

In lieu of the formula shortage, I have gotten asked about my homemade formula. Link on my IG profile & on freshly-grown.com : http://freshly-grown.com/baby-thrived-on-affordable-homemade-goat-milk-formula/ ♥️

It is half the cost of store-bought, better ingredients & you can throw it all in a blender, mix & you’re golden.👌🏽

As a Holistic Nutritionist, I created this Ped-approved formula & it saved us. You can supplement or use as a full replacement formula. Talk to your own Ped if you have any questions or concerns. Lots of ques are answered on my website in the comments.

That’s my daughter Soraya (so-ray-a) in the pic. We started supplementing her on it at 1 month old. She’s 8 now. ✌🏽

Share w/a mama in need!! ♥️♥️

Because our media has colored colored our vision of vision of what a normal birth looks like, I am committed to teaching the truth about birth to as many soon to be mama's and papa's as I can. My goal is to start a variety of childbirth and new parent classes in and around Columbia Missouri this autumn.

This blog post is chock full of great information for how you can support a friend or family member who has just had a baby. Although item number two on the list is always bring food, I recommend checking about that first because it can be added stress if there is too much food and the new family can't eat it quickly enough before it goes bad. Something in a disposable foil pan that can be Frozen and then put right in the oven is a great idea. Another good idea is before doing any chores around the house, ask if there is any way specifically they want it done. Well most new moms are grateful for any help, if there is a particular way she wants things done having to redo what you did is more stress.

all parts of childbirth are real to the moms who experience it. immediate postpartum is can be rough, so having tools to help make it easier and more comfortable is extremely helpful.

The Academy Awards are facing backlash for reportedly rejecting an ad that highlights the physical struggles women face postpartum, calling the ad "too graphic."
