In Joy Birth

Another wonderful class last night. 5 families came to practice all the core foundations of spinning babies and comfort measures so we’re coping and not enduring in labor. Thank you for letting us use the center to host class every month. We’re forever grateful for our partnership.

It is that time again! We just trained our 2026 cohort of mentored Doulas and they are ready to start taking clients.
Our next Doula Speed-Dating style event is April 25th from 1-3pm. RSVP not to save your spot and find your perfect fit.

The event is free to attend but the Doulas all offer the same discounted flat rate of $700 for full comprehensive prenatal, labor/birth & postpartum support.

We are here to serve and cannot be your savior. We can’t do the work for you but we will be your steadfast support and guide through this journey. Our guidance, love and effort are unconditional as your Doula but a Doula is not a quick fix. We are only part of the big picture.

This beauty made nearly 180 capsules to nourish and support this mama all the way through the 4th trimester. You don’t have to be an Doula client for us to make some placenta magic happen for you. We serve everyone!

Welcome to the world little one.

I tried to catch Dr.Kelly doing something funny with one of her many props but I missed my opportunity. We love Frankly Pelvic for all things Pelvic Floor PT. She came as our guest speaker last week for Doula training. It’s amazing how after sitting through half a dozen of her workshops over the years, I always seem to learn something new each time. Thank you Dr.Kelly for coming and nerding out with us!

Thank you to Ericka, one of our very own IJB Doulas and local IBCLCs, for joining us as our lunch-and-learn speakers for our Birth Doula training last weekend. Doulas are the first line of defense when it comes to all things feeding for the mother/baby dyad. We are there at birth while all the medical team is charting and doing vitals. We are in the home shortly after delivery for postpartum visits and have an established trusted relationship with the family. We always refer out to IBCLCs but it can take a few days to get seen and sometimes cost is an issue so that’s where we shine. This training helped our Doulas be the immediate support you need to set you up for success for feeing your baby. 

Today we’re celebrating IBCLC Day and the life-changing support IBCLCs provide to feeding families. At Newborn Nook Doula & Lactation Services®, Ericka Moore, IBCLC is proud to help parents feel confident, informed, and supported, one feeding at a time.
