This is my 6th year to compile these figures into an infographic (with the exception of 2020). Nashville is oh so close to having all hospitals under 30%!

Having a newborn is a lot like being on . This week, I'm working overnight to try and help this little one get their days and nights sorted out. At this age, baby should be waking to eat 2-3 times per night, with a goal of eating and going right back to sleep. My include keeping lights very low for diaper changes and feedings. I also try to make sure baby gets a good full feed before settling them back down for sleep. White noise is also a great option!

It's important to remember that this stage doesn't last forever, but it can feel long and hard when you are in the thick of it. Reach out to a family member or postpartum doula for help if needed.

I was super excited to learn that this incredible online educator lives right here in Middle Tennessee. Last month I had the opportunity to interview her for Mt. Juliet Lifestyle Magazine. Check out Labor Nurse Mama in the August issue on page 20-22.

Sweet little home birth.

In honor of our sweet Luci's second birthday yesterday I wanted to share her birth video. This video is one of my most treasured possessions and a day I will...

Happy 2 weeks to this little one. Your birth reminded me so much of your brother's 5 years ago. What a treat that I was able to be with your mom and dad for BOTH! I can't wait to watch you grow!

This mama brought a simple strand of battery powered fairy lights and it instantly changed the atmosphere in the room. 💡Just having this golden glow above the bed provided a unique ambiance. TIP: Don't forget to bring something to attach them with (we used tape) and make sure not to hang them where they would interfere with any of the medical equipment or controls.

It's always a delight when we get to work with our repeat families. Fun fact, this mama and I met at a birth rally back in 2012. She went on to become a doula herself so it's extra special when another birth professional chooses you, TWICE! Congrats, mama on another beautiful delivery.
