Prenatal consultations are wonderful ways to learn about upcoming events. And when I hear women who plan for natural childbirth, but don’t have a doula or have done research ro help them make it through labor… I encourage them to start thinking of that and to consider hiring a doula. This link gives some great info to gather ways other than just your resolve to make it through a non-medicated birth. If this is YOU - Take a listen! YOU can do it.

I love to teach families about the breast crawl. That first hour is so important to take the opportunity to allow baby to be a mammal, and attach to mama. During this quiet, unhurried time, your bonding deepens, regulation of body temperature and respiratory effort as well as supporting blood sugar with the s tart of breastfeeding.

Does it matter if babies do the breast crawl at their first post-birth breastfeed? Yes, according to this 2025 randomized controlled trial, which found significantly more exclusive breastfeeding in the breast-crawl group at 24 hours, Day 3, 1 month, and 6 months when compared to the standard skin-to-skin contact group. And there’s much more. Read all about it here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/mcn.70063

Vitamin D is important for breastfed babies. In the USA women are statistically depleated in Vitamin D, and when breastfeeding, you can’t give what you don’t have. If you can't seem to remember to give baby drops, consider taking 5,000-6,400 IU yourself. FYI most need to continue prenatal vitamins to help the healing postpartum.
