One of the best ways to prepare for postpartum? Make sure future you has food. 🙌

Batch cooking a few meals during pregnancy means that when baby is here and you’re running on little sleep, you can pull something from the freezer, heat it up, and have a nourishing meal without having to figure out what to cook.

SAVE this one for your postpartum freezer stash:
Greek Sliders + Greek Salad + Roasted Potatoes

🥩 Greek Sliders
Protein and iron rich, full of flavor, and freezer friendly.

To cook: Sauté in a skillet or cook on the grill over medium-high heat, about 4–5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Ground beef should reach 160°F internally.

Freezer tip: Cook the sliders before freezing so they’re ready to heat and eat postpartum. Let cool, then place them flat in a freezer bag with parchment paper between the layers. 

🥗 Greek Salad
Fresh veggies add fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients to round out the meal.  Don’t have time to make this in postpartum? Grab a bag of bagged salad.  

🥔 Roasted Potatoes
Add a satisfying source of carbohydrates to help make this a filling, balanced meal.  You can also roast bite-sized potatoes in the oven at 425, covered with oil, salt, garlic, pepper, and lemon juice.  A microwaved baked potato is an even quicker option.  

Food is Part of Postpartum Care. This is exactly the kind of food we love making for our postpartum families: nourishing, satisfying, practical, and actually tasty.

And meal support can happen before or after baby arrives.
During pregnancy, we can help you meal prep and build your postpartum freezer stash.

Once baby is here, meal prep can also be part of our daytime postpartum support. While we’re there helping with baby care, feeding support, rest, laundry, dishes, and the general flow of your home, we can get a nourishing meal on the table too.
Because feeding yourself shouldn’t become one more thing you have to figure out while caring for a newborn. 🤍
Save this one for your postpartum meal prep list!

It’s Birth Center Week, so let’s talk about another birth center option in Nashville: The Birth Center at Ascension Saint Thomas Midtown.

If you’re hoping for an unmedicated, low intervention birth but feel more comfortable giving birth inside a hospital, this is an option worth knowing about.

The Birth Center is a dedicated three room space located on the same floor as the traditional labor and delivery unit.

A few things to know:

• Designed for low risk, unmedicated births
• Full size beds and space to move
• Deep tubs for laboring, but not water birth
• Showers, Swedish bars, and other tools for coping
• Nitrous oxide available
• Options for intermittent and wireless continuous fetal monitoring
• You keep your own OB or midwife who delivers at Saint Thomas Midtown
• Birth Center orientation is required
• You must be 6 centimeters dilated before being admitted to the Birth Center rooms
• If your plans or medical needs change, traditional labor and delivery is right down the hall

Trying to figure out which Nashville birthplace is right for you?

I created a FREE Nashville Birthplace Comparison Guide to help you compare your local options and understand some of the differences that can really matter for your birth.

Are you using the correct fl**ge size on your breast pump? If you don’t know what a fl**ge is, it’s the cone-shaped piece that’s placed up against your breast. Making sure your pump is attached to the correct fl**ge size is important for maximizing your output.

Most pump kits ship with a fl**ge that's too big for the average person. If you're dealing with rubbing, pain, a session that dips off fast, or milk that just won't fully drain, fit is the first thing we recommend checking.

What to look for: measure your ni**le diameter in millimeters, not your ar**la. A good fit means your ni**le moves freely in the tunnel with minimal ar**la pulled in. No pain, no white ring, no bruising after a session. If output drops mid-pump or never seems complete, try sizing down.

Remember, not every ni**le is the same, and it might take trying a few different sizes or shaped fl**ges to get your best output. If you feel overwhelmed, we recommend reaching out to a lactation consultant.

Have you heard the term “baby blues”?

Many moms experience the baby blues within the first few days after birth. Hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and the huge transition into motherhood can bring on tearfulness, mood swings, anxiety, and feeling overwhelmed. For many, these feelings improve within 1–2 weeks.

But the baby blues can sometimes be confused with postpartum depression (PPD) or postpartum anxiety (PPA), and knowing the difference matters.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Baby blues**:** Usually begin within the first few days after birth and typically fade within 2 weeks. You may experience weepiness, mood swings (highs and lows), irritability, or feeling overwhelmed.

PPD/PPA**:** Can begin during pregnancy or anytime during the first year postpartum and may persist or worsen without support and treatment. Symptoms can include persistent sadness, intense anxiety, rage, intrusive thoughts, difficulty bonding with baby, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your baby.

No matter what you’re experiencing, you deserve support you can count on.

If any of this sounds familiar, please hear us: you are not failing, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. Our postpartum doulas are trained to recognize signs that you may need additional support and can help connect you with the right resources, while also providing practical, emotional, and hands-on support to make those early weeks feel a little more manageable.

If you’re struggling. Whether you’re a new mom, expecting, or supporting someone who is, you don’t have to do this alone. 💛

September is Baby Safety Month, and one of the most important parts of keeping babies safe is creating a safe sleep environment.

Every baby and every family is different, and what works for one family may not work for another, and that’s okay! No matter what your sleep situation looks like, some important safe sleep practices should always be kept in mind:

- Keep pillows, blankets, bumpers, and stuffed animals out of baby’s sleep space.
- Avoid overdressing baby. A sleep sack can be a great alternative to multiple layers.
- If your baby is showing signs of rolling, it’s time to stop using a swaddle with the arms in and transition to an arms-out sleep sack.
- Place your baby on their back to sleep.
- Offering a pacifier during naps or bedtime may help reduce the risk of SIDS.

We also know that some families choose to bed-share. If bed-sharing is part of your family’s sleep routine, we encourage you to follow Safe Sleep 7 guidelines: no smoking, a sober caregiver, breastfeeding, baby positioned on their back, baby lightly dressed, no pillows or blankets near baby, and a safe adult bed NEVER a couch or chair.

Save these safe sleeping tips for later or send to a newly expecting mama.
