Doulas hold so much that most people never see. Long nights. Witnessing transformative beginnings. And at times, profound endings. But who holds the doula?

04/03/2026

Heading to a family gathering? Here’s our best tips!

• Wear your baby to give them a cozy, secure base in noisy spaces, reduce germ exposure, keep curious hands away, and free up your own.

• Follow T.I.C.K.S.: keep the carrier tight, baby in view, close enough to kiss, chin off their chest, and their back supported.

• Dress for easy feeding and comfort, and know where you can step away if your baby needs a break.

• Set gentle boundaries around touching, kissing or holding your baby—some people may need reminders.

• And remember: manage expectations, check in with your partner, and have an exit strategy so you can leave or reset whenever you need.

Have a lovely long weekend!🐣🌷

A postpartum doula provides mothers and families with physical, emotional, and informational support during the postpartum recovery period.

From helping establish a rhythm with the new baby and caring for mom, to providing breastfeeding support and newborn care, postpartum doulas are skilled in easing the transition for the whole family.

In addition to this, they are capable of assisting with household tasks and meal preparation, allowing mothers to focus on caring for their new baby and themselves.

It’s one of the most common questions I am asked. “When will my milk come in?”

The truth is, your body is already preparing to feed for your baby long before they arrive.

During mid-pregnancy, your body begins producing colostrum. This clear or yellowish “liquid gold” is incredibly nutrient-dense and full of antibodies — exactly what your baby needs in those first moments of life. While your fuller milk supply typically transitions about 2 to 5 days after birth. That first milk (colostrum) is already there working hard for your little one.

To help that transition along, we highly recommend plenty of skin-to-skin contact and frequent feeding at the breast as soon as your baby is Earthside.

In most cases, you can even hand-express and store colostrum in syringes before your baby is born to help support breastfeeding and reduce the need for supplementation following the birth. However, because every pregnancy is unique, it is very important to consult with your healthcare provider before trying this method.

The term “doula” is a title for those individuals who surround, interact with, and aid the mother at any time within the perinatal period, including pregnancy, birth, and lactation.

Although the use of the word “doula” is newer, the concept of birth work, and of being present for fellow community members in birth, is a longstanding shared cultural practice, rooted deep in human histories.

The function of the doula varies in different cultures from a little help here and there to complete support. Whatever the doula does, however, is less important than the fact that she is there.

Interesting.🤔

Canada’s fertility rate hit a record low in 2024 as family trajectories continued to evolve, according to Statistics Canada, which released new survey data examining the complex factors that determine whether or not women decide to have children.

Doula support matters even when things are going well.

As a Doula I make sure both the birther and partner feel supported. Walking alongside couples as they welcome their precious babes is a privilege that is never lost on me.

All families matter. All families deserve a Doula.💛
