In this episode, we chat with "Proud Down Syndrome Mom", and former client of The Newborn Nurse, Ashlyn Burger!

Ashlyn is the proud mom of Penelope ("Poppy"), who has Down Syndrome, and big brother, Brooks. Ashlyn and her husband Jake, a baseball player for the Texas Rangers, found out their daughter had Down Syndrome at the 12 week ultrasound/prenatal checkup.

Ashlyn shares with us what it felt like to get this diagnosis, how she prepared for Poppy, her NICU stay and heart surgery experience, how she has found support and her village in the Down Syndrome community, her greatest joys of being a DS mom, etiquette and how to communicate with a family who has a DS child or pregnancy, and all about how she has taken this experience and turned it into her life work, and also, her incredible organization, the Burger Family Foundation, which gives back and supports DS families.

Thank you for sharing your heart, story, and all about your foundation. We loved caring for you and Poppy and know your story will touch so many lives!!!!
