Island Birth House is a thoughtfully created space for families seeking care that honors the full journey from pregnancy through birth, postpartum, and beyond. Rooted in collaboration and evidence informed support, our model centers your values, your choices, and your lived experience.

Located at 906 Anastasia Blvd, across from the Alligator Farm and just minutes from Flagler Hospital, our space was designed to feel grounded, welcoming, and connected to the community we serve.

Island Birth House is for families who want to be active participants in their care. We believe birth is deeply personal, not one size fits all. Every family deserves options, informed support, and care that recognizes the whole person, not just the process.

🗓 Grand Opening Date Coming Soon

More thoughts on this below 🔽

Feeding on demand vs scheduled feedings. Why it matters, especially in the early weeks.

Feeding on demand means offering the breast or bottle whenever your baby shows hunger cues, rather than following a set clock. For many babies and parents, this approach supports both nourishment and long term milk supply.

How feeding on demand supports supply

Milk production works on a supply and demand system. The more often milk is removed, the more signals your body receives to make more.

When babies feed on demand:
• The body gets frequent signals to produce milk
• Milk supply is more likely to regulate to your baby’s needs
• Cluster feeding, especially in the early weeks, helps build and stabilize supply
• Babies are less likely to become overly hungry or distressed before feeds

Scheduled feedings can work for some families, but in the early postpartum period they may unintentionally limit stimulation, which can impact supply for some parents.

Additional benefits of feeding on demand
• Supports baby’s natural hunger and fullness cues
• Encourages responsive feeding and bonding
• Can support comfort, regulation, and growth spurts
• Allows flexibility as baby’s needs change day to day

Every baby and every family is different. What works best is the approach that supports both baby’s growth and the parent’s physical and emotional wellbeing.

If you have concerns about feeding, supply, or weight gain, reach out to a qualified lactation professional or pediatric provider for individualized guidance.

We couldn’t help but hop on this trend 🫶🏼

Labor asks a lot of the body. Energy, hydration, and minerals are used constantly as contractions build and progress.

Having simple, familiar snacks on hand can help support steady energy without overwhelming digestion. Think fluids, gentle carbohydrates, protein, and fats that work together to sustain you through long hours of work and into early recovery.

There is no perfect snack list. What matters most is choosing foods you already tolerate well and can eat in small amounts when needed.

Save this for packing your hospital or birth center bag, or share with someone preparing for birth.

🤍 February New Mama + Pregnancy Circles 🤍

Our goal is to provide you with connection, a place to feel safe and never judged, a place to learn from other moms.

Our hosts are not guests. They are mothers and trusted resources in our community, who have found a home in this place just like you, who believe in lifting each other up. They each bring a unique knowledge and wisdom to this space. It is not their job to “lead” a group, but simply hold space to let the mothers find what they need.

We hope that you find something that serves you here, whether it is knowledge, friendship or support. Our doors are always open 🫶🏼

What many people think midwives do:
Deliver the baby.

What midwives actually do:
So much more.

Midwives provide ongoing care throughout pregnancy, offering education, monitoring, and support as your body changes. They take time to build relationship, listen deeply, and help families understand their options so decisions feel informed and grounded.

During labor, midwives support the natural physiology of birth, assess how both parent and baby are doing, offer guidance, reassurance, and hands on care, and step in when support or intervention is needed. Their presence is steady, attentive, and rooted in trust.

After birth, midwifery care continues. Supporting recovery, feeding, emotional wellbeing, and the transition into parenthood. Care does not end when the baby is born.

Midwifery is not just about catching babies.
It is about walking alongside families through one of life’s most meaningful transformations.

The uterus is powerful, adaptive, and deeply intelligent.

It is designed to stretch, protect, contract, and recover in ways that support pregnancy, birth, and healing. Often overlooked, this organ plays a central role in the body’s ability to grow, nurture, and sustain life.

We love sharing information that invites curiosity and appreciation for the body and the wisdom it holds.

Is your baby feeling comfortable in their body?

Gentle, non invasive bodywork can be a supportive way to help babies feel more at ease and relaxed as they grow. Some families explore this kind of care when they notice tension, asymmetry, or signs that their baby may benefit from extra support.

Working with a trained, experienced professional allows care to remain gentle, responsive, and tailored to your baby’s unique needs. The goal is comfort, ease, and supporting your baby’s natural development in a respectful way.
