It's a sad reality. If anyone needs helps with baby in the first few months after birth, I'm happy to help. It's not normal to do it all alone.

Eastern Ontario's children's hospital says it's seen an unprecedented number of infants with what doctors are calling "maltreatment injuries" in recent months, and is reminding parents frustrated by the ongoing pandemic that help is on hand.

Babies are wonderful, motherhood is amazing, and sometimes it's a hard adjustment! I'd love to help you in this time of transition.

simple and brilliant!

Are you someone who sits and watches the trickle of milk, if any, that comes when pumping? Do you get stressed or sad about your output?

When I was told to pump after feeding to boost supply, I'd sit there and watch. I'd double pump for twenty minutes after ever feed, and become more and more demoralised at the lack of milk in that bottle. I realised that, for my own mental health, I needed to stop watching! Easier said than done. Enter the baby sock.

Now I advise mamas to put a sock over their pumping bottle, and it has been getting incredible results. Some women are reporting often 2-3 times more milk when they remove themselves mentally from the result of their pumping session! We know that oxytocin release is inhibited by stress, and oxytocin release is required for letdowns, so if you find you are getting stressed while watching, try it!

Lots of healing after having a baby!

If this wound was on the outside of your body would you rest? Even though it can’t be seen from the outside, it is so important that we rest so that we can heal and recover after birth.

Post Partum goals indeed! Food, rest and babe.

right? Moms don't need another baby blanket or onesie or someone to come over and be entertained. They need to be in bed, with baby, and nourishing food. Not worrying about the laundry, making dinner, work, entertaining guests, etc.

Many people call the trip they take during pregnancy their "baby moon." Actually, the baby moon refers to the early postpartum time of lying in. How can you plan for your postpartum baby moon?

Taking time in bed to recover after giving birth (no matter what type of birth you had and no matter how easy or difficult it was) can have a profound positive effect on long-term healing and recovery.

My friend Janelle shares a great tip about burping a baby! This is a valuable tip I wish I had known about when I had my babies.
