When it comes to breastfeeding, the right support, knowledge, and information are critical.

https://kellymom.com/category/ages/newborn/bf-basics/

From who you choose as your birth provider and postpartum care provider to the information you receive from family and friends, every influence can impact your breastfeeding journey—for better or worse.

I recommend the website KellyMom to all of my clients. It offers a wealth of reliable, evidence-based information to help you get the best possible start to your breastfeeding journey.

At Earthside, we are committed to helping mothers achieve their breastfeeding goals. As a breastfeeding counselor with 10 years of experience, I’m pleased to share that 100% of my clients were still breastfeeding at 6 weeks at the time of discharge from care. (Yes—100%!) I also remain available to my clients beyond those 6 weeks for ongoing breastfeeding support and questions.

Earthside has always promoted and used spinning babies during pregnancy and labor to promote easier birth!

Have you used spinning babies?

Check them out!

So many great free resources and great classes you can purchase. 💗💗💗

I would definitely recommend anything by spinning babies, especially if it's your first baby or you have a history of long/hard labors.

The Three Balances (once called The Three Sisters of Balance) combine optimal jiggle and slow stretch techniques to activate fascia. We picked three ways to relieve discomfort in pregnancy and ease labor. Here are basic contraindications for Spinning Babies®.

Over the weekend, Earthside welcomed our final little baby before going on maternity leave for the summer.

This little guy wanted to take his time, showing the need for a good support team during labor and birth.

Both mom and dad prepared incredibly well and built a strong support team. They took weeks of birth classes to get ready, and dad was an amazing rock by her side. They were also supported by their doula, Earthside’s lovely birth assistants, and their midwife, all of whom helped support her incredible strength throughout the process.

When he finally decided to arrive, he came via a beautiful water birth, and mom caught him herself for all those well-deserved snuggles.

Welcome earthside, little one!!

P.S. A special shout-out to my lovely birth assistants, Talia and Erica Erica Voehl , and their doula. Theresa Nolan

Our Story

My name is Abbie Paulson. I love helping women achieve a satisfying and pleasurable birth experience. Birth is my passion and it’s such a privilege to help women bring their little ones into the world. I believe that God made our bodies perfectly to birth our babies! As a ICEA certified doula, I help helping women through educating, listening to, advocating for and assisting a woman prenatally, during labor, and after. I am familiar with and attend births at both Sanford Aberdeen and Avera Saint Lukes. I also attend planned home-births and am passionate about a women’s choice of birth place. I am also a certified breastfeeding counselor and I love supporting women into a beautiful breastfeeding relationship. I offer my services as a ministry and strive not to make my services a financial burden on clients!
