Prenatal colostrum harvesting 💛

Colostrum is your first milk. It’s thick, golden, and packed with nutrients and immune support for your baby. You can learn to hand express and collect small amounts before baby arrives.

Why we encourage it:
- helps you learn hand expression before postpartum
- builds confidence going into feeding
- gives you a small backup supply, we often call it an “insurance policy” for after birth
- can give you time to catch up if baby is having difficulty latching in the early days
- can be especially helpful if baby needs extra support after birth

When to start:
Around 37 weeks, if your provider has cleared you.

How to do it:
1. wash your hands
2. gently massage your breast
3. place fingers behind the ni**le in a “C” shape
4. press back, then gently compress forward
5. repeat in a slow rhythm
6. collect drops in a syringe or clean container
7. label and freeze

A few things to keep in mind:
- colostrum usually comes in drops, that’s normal
- sessions can be short, about 5–10 minutes per side
- stop if you notice cramping or contractions and check with your provider
- not everyone is a candidate, so always ask your provider first

And a reminder 🤍
you may not get this much every time, especially as a first time mom! Sometimes it’s drops, sometimes more, sometimes nothing at all. Practicing hand expression is still so valuable because you’re learning a skill your body will use after baby is here 🙌🏻🤱🏻

Being supported by a team of Doula’s means you’re never getting just one perspective—you’re getting a whole team of experience, strengths, and energy ✨

From calm and grounding - to hype and encouragement - to strong advocacy when it matters most 🤍

We each bring something different to the table, and that means better, more well-rounded support for every family 💫
More knowledge. More availability. More care.

That’s the beauty of our team 🫶

Partners play such an important role during labor. ❤️

You don’t have to know everything or “fix” anything, just being present, supportive, and engaged can make a huge difference in how a mom experiences birth.

Simple things like offering encouragement, helping with position changes, or providing comfort during contractions can help mom feel safe and supported through the entire process.

And when partners and doulas work together, it creates a really powerful support team for birth. 🙌🏻

Tag your partner so they can start practicing those hip squeezes 🤍

Coffee. Babies. Repeat.

Also:
- sitting in triage for hours
- eating snacks at weird times
- whispering “you’re doing amazing” on repeat
- coaching partners like it’s our full time job
- and somehow functioning on very little sleep 😅

But truly, there is nothing more meaningful than this work.

Happy World Doula Week 🤍

Running a business that supports families in some of the most sacred moments of their lives requires a lot of heart. And sometimes that means stepping away for a moment to refill our own cups🌊🚢🏝️

At the beginning of March, the MBB owners took time to reconnect, reflect, and refresh together as friends and as the women behind this growing community. As our business evolves and reaches more families each year, these moments remind us why we started and where we’re going.

Taking care of ourselves so we can continue taking care of you… and apparently that includes a little sunshine, ocean air, and maybe a fruity drink or two. 😉

Grateful for the space to breathe, dream, and come back even more inspired for the families we serve. 🤍

Packing for the hospital can feel overwhelming, especially with all the lists floating around online.

After supporting many births, we’ve noticed most moms actually use a handful of simple things that help with comfort, energy, and creating a calming birth space.

A few thoughtful items can make a big difference during labor and those first hours postpartum.

And one of the things we love about supporting families as doulas is helping create an environment that feels safe, supported, and calm. Whether that’s through position changes, comfort techniques, or just remembering the little things like snacks and phone chargers.

Save this post for later if you’re starting to think about packing your hospital bag 🤍

Today we’re celebrating our longest-standing postpartum-only doula, the amazing Sandee! She truly has a gift with newborns, and if you’re ever looking for her, there’s a very good chance she’s somewhere snuggling a baby 🥰 It’s basically her specialty at this point.

Sandee is so passionate about this work and pours so much love and care into the families she supports. Her calm presence, wisdom, and dedication make such a difference in those tender early postpartum days!

We are incredibly grateful for all the heart you put into caring for our families. Happy Birthday, Sandee! We’re so lucky to have you as part of the MBB family. 💜🌿

Most moms aren’t nervous about birth because they’re weak.🙅🏻‍♀️

They’re nervous because they’re walking into something unknown.

That’s why education and support matter so much!

When you understand what’s happening in your body and know you have people in your corner, everything changes. ✨

Confidence grows.
Fear shrinks.

And that’s exactly what we want for every family we serve. 🤍💪
