The Doula Download

As doulas and lactation professionals, we support client choice. The decision surrounding infant feeding is as individual and unique as you are.

When choosing how to feed your baby, there are countless options. Breastfeeding, formula feeding, combination feeding, the list goes on and on. The decision that you will make will depend on many factors. Do you need to return to work? How much time off will you have before returning to work? Will you be a stay-at-home parent?

No matter your choice when it comes to feeding your baby, there is often judgment and criticism.

Yet as birth professionals, we recognize that the decision for how you will feed your baby is made out of love. We understand that sometimes alternative decisions may need to be made. Or that once the baby is here, you may entirely change your mind.

No matter what or how you choose to feed your baby, we see you, the human, attached to the other end of whatever feeding method you choose.

Come join us as we discuss the many factors influencing infant feeding decisions.

One of the most frequent questions we are asked is, "Why should I hire a doula?"

Usually, our response is, "Do you want the short answer or the long one?"

As labor and postpartum doulas, our goal is support. Supporting our clients through pregnancy, birth, and into the world of parenting your new baby.

Some clients come to us seeking emotional support. Others want to know all the information and all the options that exist. Then we have clients looking for a warm and friendly person to help guide them through the process. A person focused on the emotional impact these transformative events bring.

When choosing a doula, you'll know you've found the right one for you when they make you feel heard and validated, and you feel safe being vulnerable when you are in their presence.

Come join us as we discuss why you should hire a doula and what to look for when choosing your doula.
