✨ Compassionate Community Highlight ✨

I’m honored to introduce a photographer I’ll be collaborating with the near future, Sugarloaf Photography 🤍

Meet Jussara, she specializes in maternity and newborn portraiture. Her work is not just about capturing images...it’s about preserving your legacy in a way that feels timeless, refined, and deeply personal.

With over 15 years of experience and extensive training in newborn safety and posing, she offers a fully guided, boutique-style experience where every detail is thoughtfully curated from the environment to the flow of the session.

What truly sets her apart:
✨ A calm, luxury studio experience designed for rest and ease

✨ Expert, gentle handling of newborns with safety at the forefront

✨ Intentional, artfully styled imagery that never feels trendy or rushed

✨ A seamless process so you can simply arrive and be cared for

As someone who supports women in the postpartum period, I’m incredibly intentional about who I align with. The standard is not just beautiful work...it's how a mother is held, supported, and cared for in the process.

And working with Jussara does exactly that.

If you’re expecting or recently delivered a new bundle of joy and desire a high-touch, luxury photography experience that honors both you and your baby, I invite you to connect with her.

And now rest feels like something we have to earn.

After the dishes.
After the laundry.
After everyone else is okay.

Let me say this clearly:
👉 You don’t have to earn rest.

Rest is a need, not a reward. You don’t have tonfeel guilty for taking care of yourself too.

Save this for the days you feel guilty slowing down 🤍

I didn’t even know what a postpartum doula was… until years after having my preterm twins.

Even as a mother/baby nurse, an IBCLC, and someone who thought she “knew it all,” the first three months after my life-threatening postpartum recovery were overwhelming.😔

My husband and I had very little:
• physical support
• nutritional support
• emotional support

I still needed guidance, care, and reassurance every single day.

My own experience showed me how crucial postpartum support is, even for someone trained in mother/baby care and lactation.

That’s why I started Compassionate Doula Services, to give every family the compassion, guidance, and practical help I desperately needed during those early months.

Because postpartum isn’t just about surviving… It's about feeling supported, heard, and cared for, even in the hardest moments.

If you’re expecting or in those first months with a newborn and feel unsure, overwhelmed, or exhausted. I’m here for you. Feel free to DM to chat about your postpartum recovery.❤️

The postpartum period can be full of surprises…
and sometimes no one tells you the hard parts.

What’s one thing you wish someone had told you about the postpartum period?

Was it:
• How exhausting those first weeks really are?
• The difference it makes to have a postpartum doula and IBCLC support booked prenatally?
• That it’s okay to feel emotional and unsure sometimes?

Share your experience in the comments below, let’s normalize real postpartum life and support each other.

According to Oxford Dictionary, Abandon means: an act or instance of leaving a person or thing permanently and completely.

With sleep training, you are simply NOT doing this. There is always a point in which you check in on your child or you get them up for the morning. It's a process where a parent or caregiver is guiding a child to healthy sleep habits with love and support.

Sleep training is very healthy and can be an integral part of a mother’s postpartum journey. I've worked with families that have experienced such a huge difference in their child's physical and emotional health after getting more restorative sleep through sleep training.That being said, it isn’t for everyone!

If you’re interested in knowing more about sleep training, feel free to contact me for a free discovery call!

Let’s change the narrative on baby sleep — one family at a time.

A simple, consistent bedtime routine can make nights calmer. Having a consistent bedtime routine cues your little one that sleep is coming and it helps to prepare their body for sleep. Even just 10–15 minutes of reading, cuddles, or soft music sets the stage for better sleep.

Need help creating a bedtime routine that works for your baby? I would love to guide you to more restful nights. Set up your no-obligation discovery call directly through my website or DM.

“Is your baby sleeping through the night yet?”

Me: laughs in sleep deprivation 😅

Because what you don’t see is the 2am wake-ups…
the 4am stare contests…
and the early mornings that feel illegal.

If this question triggers you just a little, you’re not alone. 🤍

And no, you don’t have to just “wait it out.”
With the right support, your baby can learn to sleep, and you can actually rest too.

✨ I offer personalized, holistic sleep support virtually and in-home.

If you’re ready for better nights, I’ve got you.

Watching the scale can bring so much peace of mind for breastfeeding families. 🤍

A weighted feeding allows us to see exactly how much milk your baby transfers during a breastfeeding session. By weighing your baby before and after nursing, we can determine milk intake and make sure feeding is on the right track.

This simple check can help answer questions like:
• Is my baby getting enough milk?
• Is milk transfer effective?
• Do we need to adjust our feeding plan?

I offer in-home weighted feedings and weight checks so families can get accurate answers and support in the comfort of their own home.

📍 Serving families in Baltimore and Harford County Maryland.

If you’re feeling unsure about how much milk your baby is getting, you don’t have to guess. Support is just a message away.

✨ DM me or visit www.compassionatedoulaservices.com to schedule.

Supporting moms and babies is work I love deeply, but taking care of myself allows me to keep showing up fully for the families I love and serve.

A little time to decompress, reset, and refill my cup. Because even the women who care for everyone else need care too.

If you’re a mom who hasn’t taken a moment for yourself lately, this is your reminder: rest is productive too.

Psst... when was the last time you took a moment for yourself?

Let’s talk about what’s actually NORMAL when pumping breast milk.
One of the most common concerns I hear from breastfeeding/pumping moms is regarding their milk supply.

In an average 15–20 minute pumping session, most moms express between 0.5–4 ounces total. Some moms, often called “super producers,” may pump 4–8 ounces during that time.

If you’re pumping after nursing, it’s very common to see smaller amounts, since your baby has already removed milk.

Remember: pump output doesn’t always reflect your true milk supply. Babies are usually much more effective than a pump.

Every mom’s body is different, but if you’re concerned about your milk supply, reaching out to an IBCLC can help you get personalized support and reassurance.

🤍 You don’t have to navigate breastfeeding alone.

Have questions about milk supply? I would love to chat with you! Dm or comment "supply" to set up an in-home or virtual consultation.
