Mama Bear Doula Care

I wouldn’t correct my kiddo either. #panDAMNIT

My daughter was in grade one before she started sleeping all night

What do you do for your mental health? I’ll answer in the comments. I hope you’re all well in this very challenging time. You matter and your wellness is important.

Waiting for a baby to come today, enjoying autumn colours. They can call me or we will have video chats. My whole day is for them. I’m also on call for another mama this week, too. I wish I was with them. I wish so many things were different this year. We’ve all had to reimagine and rebuild what we thought was the regular, the normal. But everything changes. Maybe too much changed, though? We can get through this. Don’t give up. Take it day by day, or if you need, one hour ...at a time. Remember you are loved and you ARE love. We will be able to say we didn’t give up on love today. Send out safe arrival vibes to all the babies being born today.

If you have school age children, or even grandchildren, Back to School every fall is always a big milestone. This year, the anxiety is greater with COVID-19. We... are feeling unsure and don't know what to expect. You likely have questions: will my kids be safe? or should they even go back? As parents, our job is to keep our children safe. At St. Joe's, we want to help by giving you the insight and knowledge you need to make the best decisions possible for your children. Join us this Thursday, August 27th at 5 P.M. for another installment of our West End Warriors Town Hall Series. We will speak with Pediatricians Dr. Justine Cohen-Silver and Dr. Sloane Freeman, and Dr. Kevin Schwarz, Infectious Diseases Physician at St. Joseph’s. They are part of the group of experts that led the development of a guidance document of recommendations for a safe school reopening this September. Register today at http://ow.ly/5w6d50B5WNm

"Currently we recommend the following for care of mothers with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 and their well newborns: Mothers and newborns may room-in according to usual center practice. During the birth hospitalization, the mother should maintain a reasonable distance from her infant when possible. When mother provides hands-on care to her newborn, she should wear a mask and perform hand-hygiene. Use of an isolette may facilitate distancing and provide the infant an added ...measure of protection from respiratory droplets. If using an isolette, care should be taken to properly latch doors to prevent infant falls. Healthcare workers should use gowns, gloves, standard procedural masks, and eye protection (face shields or goggles) when providing care for well infants. When this care is provided in the same room as a mother with COVID-19, healthcare workers may opt to use N95 respirators in place of standard procedural masks, if available. If non-infected partners or other family members are present during the birth hospitalization, they should use masks and hand hygiene when providing hands-on care to the infant." https://services.aap.org//faqs-management-of-infants-bor/
