A question that is often asked is, ‘what items should I register for to have on-hand when baby arrives?’

Pets Welcome!

While not every doula is comfortable with working in a house with pets or with providing pet care, I am. Of course, my top priority is always baby and parents, but as far as I’m concerned, pets are fully part of the family!

This is such a fundamentally important study, which looks at the ways in which early childhood nurturing with stability and consistency, help shape the neurological brain.

‘This research helps explain why early interactions are so powerful. The moments when you comfort, respond, or repair after a conflict are teaching your child’s nervous system how to recover from stress.

New research from Yale neuroscientists shows how early caregiving shapes the brain, building emotional resilience through predictability and safety.
