✨ Research has shown that a couple’s emotional connection is
the real foundation for a baby’s development. ✨

We are thrilled to announce a new class offering at Ensemble!

• Strengthen your partnership for your baby’s developmental foundation.

• Use sensitive, responsive parenting tactics.
• Coordinate effectively with family members for support.
• Maintain both parents’ active involvement with baby.

This course is offered in-person in our meeting room over six 2-hour sessions.

👶🏼 It was 'bring your baby to work day' for our Sleep Consultant Melody this week. 👶🏼

Our winter group is in full swing, and it was Melody's turn to lead her session on newborn sleep. Her little (not so little!) one, Judah, is 5 weeks old and fit right in with the babies in the group who are now 1-3 months old.

I (Dr. Jan) got to snuggle Judah while Melody led a discussion that covered...
🕙 wake windows
😴 contact naps (and how to progress beyond them)
💨 gassy babies
4️⃣ the 4 month sleep regression
🌚 baby's sleep environment

I got my fill of baby snuggles and everyone left with new strategies to try at home!

🏠 Loved receiving this message from one of my patients about her experience with our postpartum home visit program. 🏠

A little less than a year ago my on-call group started collaborating with an amazing team of midwives. While I love following my patients through all of their prenatal and postpartum visits, I also love being able to offer them at-home visits with one of the midwives on our team within days of bringing baby home from hospital. The skill, experience, dedication, and kindness that Cassie, Laura, Monique, Robyn, and Shannon bring to our team is unmatched!

🍼 Tips and resources for families who are combination feeding from our feeding therapist, Laura Sawers! 🍼

MANY families feed their babies with a combination of breast and bottle.

Whether it's.....by choice or out of necessity..short or long term..50:50 or 90:10

It is a lot of work in a busy, vulnerable, and emotional time.

We hope this blog helps to provide some support and reassurance. 💕

As Canada and the world mourn Catherine O’Hara, this clip from her iconic role as Moira Rose on Schitt’s Creek came to mind.

When one of us shines,
All of us shine.
That is the meaning of ensemble.

Newborn caps, but make it Christmas.

It’s festive at the hospital today, and little things like this make me smile.

Happy holidays, however you celebrate, from the Ensemble team!

👩‍⚕️In medicine, there’s always new research to understand and new guidelines to put into practice.

Last month the Low Risk Maternity Care team gathered for another retreat to review current evidence and advice for our patients.

A few takeaways:

➡ A major reason preeclampsia leads to severe complications or death is that people often don’t get care soon enough. Caregivers play a key role in teaching patients what symptoms to look for and why it’s crucial to seek medical care right away. A good resource for patients is

➡ Babies who weigh less than 2.5kg at birth benefit from iron supplementation. Iron is a vital nutrient that helps the body make healthy blood, supports brain development, and strengthens the immune system. Young children are especially vulnerable because not getting enough iron during early childhood can affect their brain growth and development.
Families can consult with their care provider to determine the amount and duration of iron supplementation as it depends on the baby's birthweight and to what extent they are breast and/or bottlefed. You can learn more in the Canadian Pediatric Society's Practice Point about Iron Requirements in the First 2 Years of Life.

➡ Testing for measles immunity may be considered for pregnant patients who were not vaccinated and are at high risk of exposure. In most other cases, testing isn’t recommended because one dose of the measles (MMR) vaccine already protects about 93% of people—and the routine schedule includes two doses.
Rubella is also a part of the MMR vaccine, and although we routinely check rubella immunity during pregnancy, rubella results do not reflect measles immunity. This means that someone who is not immune to rubella is likely still protected against measles.
You can learn more, including up to date reporting of current measles cases in Calgary at www.albertahealth.ca/measles.

👋We couldn’t be happier to welcome our new neighbours !
