Hosting Dinner?
Plan around baby’s nap—schedule arrivals accordingly. Prep food and decorate the day before. Don’t hesitate to ask for help with setup or babysitting.

Attending as a Guest?
Pack smart: bring a pack-n-play, sound machine, pacifier, and anything else your baby
needs. Ask your host for a quiet space to nap, nurse, or pump. Bring a cooler or check if fridge space is available for milk.

Worried About Germs?
Wearing your baby can help limit contact. Feel free to kindly ask guests to wash hands before cuddling.

Enjoy the Holidays!

Every time your baby chews on something, their mouth and their brain are communicating to start learning about their world. When they eat their toes or chew on their fingers, it's even more of a sensory learning experience, as the nerve fibers in their toes and fingers also get stimulation. This is one reason finger chewing is not always a sign of teething.

If you've ever smelled a family member's or friend's baby and thought about how good they smell, it's simple: they don't make body odor yet!

But this is even deeper for our own babies. Dr. George Preti, at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, conducted a study on human body odor and found that elements from the baby's sweat enter the mother's bloodstream during pregnancy and imprint into her system. So when the baby is born, the baby smells familiar and is soothing.

⭐️ Stephanie’s Clients Say…

Stephanie is a treasure! I feel so fortunate that stars aligned and I found her shortly before I gave birth to my second child. I knew I needed to plan to nourish myself more postpartum this time around and scheduled a massage. Since she is also experienced in birthwork, I trusted she would have sensitivity and understanding of my body’s healing. What I received was that and so much more, she made me feel so comfortable and cared for, she considered also my emotional well-being. Coming to my home made receiving this service as a busy mom possible and Stephanie’s calm and gentle energy put me at ease and allowed me to fully receive what was the best massage of my life! My husband also has received a massage and agrees..she’s the best! Extremely effective at helping sore muscles and tense “tech neck” bodies relax and restore. ~ Lindsey
