As mothers, we often fear not being able to produce enough milk for our babies, but when we are pregnant do we ever question our placenta? We do not measure, schedule or discuss how much oxygenated blood is delivered to the baby, we just trust that our body knows exactly what to do. How magical would it be if we would give the same faith to our amazing breasts! #breastfeeding #breastsleeping #placenta #sleepandwellbeingspecialist #trustyourbody

With this little sunshine growing fast, I’m adding to my parent support check list and studying to become a Baby led Sleep and Well-being Specialist! I can’t wait to share with other families in my community tools to help them follow their instincts and follow their hearts. #islagrace #sleepandwellbeingspecialist #babysleep

While doing my first reading for my Sleep and Wellbeing course I came across this paragraphe that puts into words how I feel about parenting. The young child’s all-consuming, seeking, hungry pursuit of their caretaker is nothing new. In 1958, John Bowlby, the British psychiatrist who coined this use of the word attachment, told parents, The young child’s hunger for his mother’s love and presence is as great as his hunger for food. He said to expect young children to make r...elentless demands of parents, especially when they’re frightened or upset. Bowlby argued that this was a natural process, and that although parents may feel overwhelmed and tired at times, the demands of the child should decrease with healthy development and a more secure child should emerge. When you realize how big the attachement needs of a young child are, you realize how much generosity is required of a parent. - Deborah Macnamara, PhD, Rest Play Grow #baby #sleepandwellbeingspecialist #restplaygrow #parenthood #doula

Still up tonight. Nursing my sweet baby boy. Teething is hard. Motherhood is hard but it has also changed me. I havent figured it all out yet, but I will. Some...day. For now, all that matters, is caring for my sweet Emanuel while everyone else is sleeping. #teethingbaby #babyboy #nursingmom #momboss #workingmom #momgoals #busymom #momtribe #tiredmom #letthembelittle #motherhoodunplugged #healthymindbodysoul #soblessed #selflove #night #goodnight

LE SAVIEZ-VOUS ? Lorsqu'un bébé tète au sein de sa mère, un vide est créé. Dans ce vide, la salive du nourrisson est aspirée dans le mamelon de la mère, où les... récepteurs de sa glande mammaire lisent ses signaux. Cette salive aspirée, comme elle le décrit délicieusement, contient des informations sur le statut immunitaire du bébé. Tout ce que les scientifiques savent sur la physiologie indique que la salive aspirée du bébé est l'une des façons dont le lait maternel ajuste sa composition immunologique. Si les récepteurs des glandes mammaires détectent la présence d'agents pathogènes, ils obligent le corps de la mère à produire des anticorps pour le combattre, et ces anticorps retournent dans le lait maternel pour retourner dans le corps du bébé, où ils ciblent l'infection.

We are setting up for our first week Time to Shine!!!

A little reminder for today!

I'm a busy mom and I don't get out to do these kinds of things and it was amazing to take a moment in the comfort of my home!!! Natasha is great and it felt like she was in the room with me!!

Copied from @birthuntouched

"In the hustle of the room, I peered over at my friend bent over in pain. The baby had just been born and everyone was surrounding the miracle that happened bef...ore our eyes and naturally, we were all in awe of him. But I was especially in awe of her. I saw you, mama. I saw the pain in your eyes and in your face and in your body. Because this is now a new season called postpartum. We tend to forget our mamas when babies are around. We ask how the baby is, what does baby need, can we hold the baby, can we buy this for the baby but... what about the mother? Let us not forget the hard work she endured to carry this child AND the hard road ahead to mother and heal and feed and rest and parent her other children also. What do mamas really need? Meals dropped off, someone to watch baby so they can shower, solid childcare for her other children, house cleaners to stop by and help out. Heating pads and coffee and comfy PJs. Maybe fast food. Or a friend to fold laundry. Maybe a new movie to watch or your Netflix login. Lets not forget the mamas. Its just so easy to because women are incredibly strong and seem to have it all together but they need the support and the extra hands more than ever entering into that fourth trimester."

"The role of the doula is to give objective emotional and informational support to the woman during labor, birth, and immediate postpartum. He/she trained in birth and remains objective with a wealth of knowledge about the processes which occur in the body. He/she suggests positions, comfort measures, and alternatives. This is the only person whose main purpose is to get the mom through labor." ~CAPPA

This news just in - when you visit breastfed baby, you are likely to see a little bit of breast. Tips for how to react when confronted with a tiny bit of brea...st (which you can see because the breast is where the milk is and the milk is what the baby drinks.) 1 - Keep talking to mum as before. 2 - Do not leave the room unless asked, do not ask mum to leave the room. 3 - Tell mum she is doing brilliantly and you are proud of her. 4 - If mum is struggling, get her good face to face support. A bottle is not face to face breastfeeding support. 5 - Bring food. Bring drinks. Make the food. Pour the drinks. 6 - If the baby cries, give the baby to mum. Do not attempt to walk around shushing, patting saying it worked for your baby. This baby wants mum. *Remember - visiting a breastfed baby may result in exposure to breasts, oxytocin, melatonin and all round feel good hormones*

I bought myself a Fab Fit Fun Box to celebrate my doula certification and to my suprise I got this perfect mug, because I became a doula the day my son was born and this was the night gown I wore on that day!! Pour célébrer ma certification de Doula je me suis gâté d'une Fab Fit Fun Box et à l'intérieure se cachait la tasse parfaite pour boucler cette belle aventure parce que voici la jaquette que je portais le jour de la naissance de mon garçon et le lors du moment que je savais que j'étais une doula.

Happy mother's day!! Joyeuse fête des mères!

My doula lunch box saved me at work today! Always good to be prepared!

All the hard work paid off! I am officialy a CAPPA Certified Labor Doula!! Je suis officiellement une CAPPA Certified Labor Doula! Les nuits d'étude ont voulues la peine!
