As we quickly approach our youngest child’s 5th birthday; as we fill out the Kindergarten enrollment packet; as we say goodbye to our familiar daycare; as we watch our littlest boy grow up — I feel like it was yesterday. I can remember the day he was born, and every day since then, so vividly. It doesn’t feel possible that five years have gone by.

If you’re a new parent, sitting down holding your baby right now, give them an extra squeeze.

Close your eyes for 10 seconds.

Take a deep breath.

I know you are tired. Touched out. I want you to know: It doesn’t change how much you love your baby.

The days are long, but the years are short.

Do whatever you have to, to make this time with your baby, in your postpartum season, enjoyable.

Ask for (and accept) help. Find mom-groups. Join parent classes. Go for a walk. Binge your favorite show. Drink the coffee. Purge your social media.

Fill your life, yourself, and your postpartum space with things that support you, make you smile, and bring you comfort.

It’s been three years (and opening up a dedicated business line) and I’m still getting phone call for business loans I’ve never applied for.

I’ll take gifts and grants, but no loans, thank yew.

Surveys show that nearly 97% of these parents are doing this, even though they shouldn’t be.

It’s carrying the weight of guilt.

And right now, I am giving you full permission to stop.

You do not need to feel guilty about the choices you are making for yourself or your baby right now. You don’t need to over explain yourself or try to justify the reason for your choices.

Feeding choices.
Needing sleep.
Resting instead of “doing it all.”
Not loving every moment.
Putting the baby down safely.
Contact naps — or not.
A messy house.
Ordering takeout.
Asking for or hiring help.
Setting boundaries with visitors.
Taking breaks.
Wanting alone time.
Missing your old life.
Grieving your pre-baby body.
Changing your mind.
Not having a routine.
Not “bouncing back.”

You are not doing this wrong.
You are learning, recovering, and becoming.
And that is more than enough. 🤍

I LOVE giving expectant parents a gift basket with the items other people often overlook.

made this basket to donate to a local school fundraiser. Here’s what we included:

✔️ Diaper Caddy — Instead of an actual basket, we used a diaper caddy that can be used later!

✔️ A cozy, knit blanket — often times parents received multi-packs of light weight receiving blankets which is wonderful but a good, thick blanket is great for cooler months.

✔️ Pacifiers, Pacifier Clips, and Pacifier Wipes — essentials.

✔️ Indestructible Book — I mean, helllloooo, yes.

✔️ Plain Onesies — They aren’t making a fashion statement, but every diaper bag should have a few spare onesies!

✔️ Aquaphor Cream — Every parent has a favorite, and I love grabbing something for them to try!

✔️ Oogie-boogie — The ultimate nose and ear picker for parents who just HAVE to get that bo**er out.

✔️ Travel Sound Machine — Often overlooked, but a simple essential that can move from room to room (and place to place while traveling)

✔️ Bottle Brushes — Used daily and should be replaced!

✔️ Cuddly Plush — Just because 🤍

✔️ Small Baby Toy — Perfect for tiny hands and eventual teethers.

✔️ Travel Grooming Kit — Perfect for your diaper bag, little nail clippers and other essentials whenever you need them!

✔️ Most importantly, a gift certificate for Postpartum Support with !

What else would you add to a gift basket for a new parent?

F E B R U A R Y

The numbers are in! We’ve had a few contracts end, new ones begin, and several new families that we welcomed!

Currently we have a mix of new and old babies, twins and singletons, bottle-fed and exclusively breastfed, pro-sleepers and sleep-fighters.

It’s been an amazing month here at !

In March, we will be serving a number of families with both daytime and overnight support.

We are *always* accepting clients, whether you need help conquering sleep challenges ASAP or you are planning ahead for the future.

Clients now have the opportunity to meet with our preferred IBCLC .and.nectar, as their first visit with Candace is included in their package!

As we move forward, we are continuing our dedication to ensuring families have hands-on support, nutritious meals, feeding support, and goal-driven services.

This one is a little deep.

Little me... I never imagined that everything I endured in life would lead me here.

But I can see people’s struggles, their pain, and know these moments can be supported. I know these challenges don’t have to define them.

From childhood, to pregnancy loss, to immense trauma early in my parenting journey, to the deepest depression, to the birth and postpartum experience that revived me: I learned something along the way.

I’ve used my experiences to listen to others. I’ve offered my hand to be held, my shoulder to be cried on, my arms for a hug.

Becoming a Postpartum Doula wasn’t about elevating my career. It was about elevating the lives of mothers. It was about showing up and showing unconditional support to families. It was about making sure they had the best possible transformation into parenthood. I’ve done that. I’m proud of the time I have spent providing hands-on support.

But even more-so, I am proud of the team that has grown as a result. Mothers, friends, women. All who have their own journey and their own purpose for this work. All of them coming to the table with perspective, understanding, and wisdom.

That’s why families choose us.

As you welcome your new baby, your days are going to blur together.

They’ll be filled with naps, many of them contact naps.

They’ll be filled with feedings, some of them long, frequent, and never-ending.

Naps will feel unpredictable. Nights may feel like a whirlwind.

And all of this is okay, because it’s normal.

In these early weeks, your only jobs are feeding, connection, and rest.

If I could offer one piece of guidance, it would be this:

🤍 Create a simple start to your day, and a simple end to your day.

🤍 Plan to go to bed when your baby goes to bed — even if that’s 9 or 10pm.

Choose a gentle, consistent wake-up time for both of you, maybe one that includes fresh coffee and warm sunshine around 8am.

🤍 When the beginning and end of your day feel steady…

…your feeds, wake windows, and naps naturally begin to fall into place.

No pressure. No textbook. Just a simple, supportive rhythm.🤍

Who wanted the Bad Bunny Bowl yesterday!?

All jokes aside, our founder, Bryn, grew up in New England (New Hampshire!) so it’s always fun for her to see the Patriots make it to Super Bowl. Admittedly, she’s really just there for the half time show and the snacks, which both SERVED yesterday 👏🏽

PSA: Breast pump parts are NOT forever! It might be time to toss and replace some of your parts to keep your pump in top working condition!

If your pump isn’t working like it used to, it might not be you—it might be worn-out parts. Here’s what most families don’t realize 👇

🔄 Replace these pump parts regularly:
• Valves & membranes: every 2–8 weeks (or sooner if pumping daily)
• Duckbill valves: every 4–6 weeks
• Backflow protectors: every 3–6 months
• Tubing: replace if you see moisture, milk, mold, or stretching
• Flanges: every 6 months (or sooner if fit or comfort changes)

✨ Signs it’s time to replace:
• Decreased suction
• Longer pumping sessions
• Less milk output
• Cracks, stretching, or discoloration

Properly functioning pump parts = better milk removal, more comfort, and less stress.

Save this for later & share with a pumping parent who might need the reminder ✨

Meet Alyssa, one of our wonderful Newborn Care Specialists! Alyssa joined The Family Foundations Agency in 2023, and has been placed with several families, whom she has supported for overnight infant care. She is gentle, warm, and supportive of all families, and has been raved about by every client!

Here’s what Alyssa had to share:
“I provide overnight newborn care in families’ homes as a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula. I’ve worked with kids since 2016, including those with more complex behavioral and medical needs, and that experience has really taught me to be thoughtful, observant, and steady under pressure. My approach is evidence-based and judgment-free. I keep up with current information on newborn care and sleep, and then work with parents to create routines that feel sustainable in real life. I know the newborn stage can feel like a blur, so my goal is always to be a calm, reliable presence and help parents feel less overwhelmed and more confident with their baby.“

If you are a family expecting in February or March, you are in luck! Alyssa is currently contracted with an amazing family that will be relocating at the end of their contract. Alyssa is excited to meet with prospective clients and offer her services to them!

No seriously, STOP.

Stop letting people tell you that birth and postpartum services aren’t necessary.

Stop letting people tell you “they could never” or “don’t trust anyone” or question “why did you even have a baby?”

Stop letting people tell you that “it doesn’t last long, and it will all be okay.”

Stop listening to the invalidating nonsense and trust YOUR gut. Trust that you know what you are doing, and that wherever you need support, we will be there for you.

Not everyone can handle living on 40-minute increments of sleep and strong caffeine.

You DESERVE support where you want it, when you want it.

Is overnight care for everyone? No! But you know what might be? Daytime support. Meal preparation services. A supported birth with a doula. Sibling care. A housekeeper. A family assistant. Lactation support. A mom group.

Don’t be afraid to seek support just because your neighbor, Sherry, raves about how she did it all alone and “survived.” We don’t want you to survive, we want you to THRIVE.
