Babies have lived in water for nine months (longer than they've been out of the water), so don't let anyone fool you into saying "babies don't like bath time" or "babies don't like the water." They're just doing something wrong!

Read until the very bottom, where we give you a suggested newborn bathtime routine that will help ensure there are no more tears in the tub.

Sometimes we need a reminder that the King of Kings has our back too. Here are a few Psalms that has helped me remember just that || Psalm 91:2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”

Learning to adjust to this new chapter of your life can be overwhelming. Your body is recovering from labour and/or birth, your hormones have abruptly shifted to support your babe outside the womb, and you’re getting to know your little one; their likes, dislikes, and personality. This is definitely not the time to ‘snap back’ to life as it was before. Your life is different and most people need help navigating that transition. And that’s where your postpartum doula comes in.

We talk so much about birth plans. But how many of us are talking about a postpartum plan? How much thought and energy have you been able to put toward what life will look like once your baby is born? Well we are here to help you with that!

Birth is full of unknowns, and for many people they actually have a fear of the unknown. So the best way to overcome that is to shine light on the parts you’re not too sure about. See birth planning is not about creating a rigid plan. It’s about making intentional time to discuss your options for labour, what the immediate postnatal recovery looks like, how to manage expectations and how to self advocate for your preferences with your care team. It shows you your preferences and where you can be flexible. And we call it a map, not a plan!
