@neel_shah ... Aim for the ceiling: care that is not just safe, but also supportive and empowering. * * * Over and over, we hear careproviders remind parents, ..."the goal is healthy mom, healthy baby".

Finally Neel Shah has put into a succinct and eloquent quote why this attitude is both true but not enough. Of course the goal is that everyone survives! But when childbirth is a foundational experience to parenting, as well as the newborn's future, let's aim for the top!!!! And part of being supportive, is honoring the paradox of joy and grief that can arise when mom and baby arrive healthy but pregnancy/labor was more challenging or scary than expected. See more

Good for you, good for your family. You deserve to be supported. xoxo

Heather Boyd (a colleague of mine) is doing a live round table for moms of twins around supporting infant sleep development through a practical and attachment lens. She's looking, in particular, for "seasoned" moms of twins (past the first 3 years perhaps) for a strategy and coping-based chat with three or so "seasoned" moms. The chat will be facilitated by Heather who is (like me) a gentle sleep coach. If you are interested, please PM me and I'll connect you.

I always felt weird about the female tree whose only purpose was to give to the boy (who never becomes a man) until she had nothing left for herself or her friends. Just the boy. And that's enough for her. Sounds all-too-familiar.
