Happy New Year!

#2025

Sad, but not a surprising move given their love/hate relationship with birthing there. I do feel bad for the midwives who has used this space for years and years, and the scramble that they have to do to find another hospital. All of this, and all the hospital had to do was make their cleaner, more inviting, and have better more humane care.

Restocking my belly binding muslins. Tried a new store on etsy called the bare foot mama shop. Honestly, this is some butter soft muslin!

My mentor gave me tons of books to read through a couple of weeks ago. This one has been so interesting, I wish it were a mandatory read for birth and postpartum doulas. I have seen so much misinformation about breastfeeding, and it's frustrating for me to hear that so many women did have doulas giving them the wrong info (at one point, incl myself!).
