What does meaningful support after birth look like — and how can medical care and holistic postpartum practices work together?

Join us this Wednesday, October 14, for Two Perspectives, One Mother, a free live conversation hosted by Birth Matron and moderated by me — Cheyenne!

I will join Dr Hoda Harb, OBGYN, and Salwa Salim, founder of Birth Matron, to explore what mothers need after birth, how different approaches can support recovery, and where their limits lie.

Together, we’ll discuss:
* Where traditional and holistic postpartum support fits alongside medical care.
* When medical attention is needed.
* How families and birth workers can navigate these approaches with greater understanding.
At The Educated Birth, we believe families deserve clear information and support that considers the whole person. We’re glad to help make space for this conversation — and for your questions during the live audience Q&A.

We're uplifting the inaugural Deaf & Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Week, which kicks off today and runs through September 22 annually! Deaf & Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Collective

As an allied partner with the Deaf community, the DC Breastfeeding Coalition fostered the initiation of the first ever Deaf and Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Collective. The mission: Empowering Deaf and Hard of Hearing families with accessible breastfeeding education, support, and community — because language access matters from birth.

This year's theme is "Close the Gap, Strengthen the Bridge: Community, Care & Connection." Join us as we celebrate this community in their breastfeeding journeys and experiences!
