It’s Native American Heritage Month.
We’re taking this month to honor the Indigenous leaders, families, and partners who continue to protect, nourish, and reclaim birth and feeding traditions that have always sustained their communities. 🌿🤱🏾
Throughout November, we’ll be featuring Indigenous partners leading this work - sharing their stories, knowledge, and the wisdom that continues to guide our collective path. 📖🌎
Their work reminds us that breastfeeding, community care, and collective healing are acts of sovereignty. 🪶💛
Follow along as we listen, learn, and honor these powerful voices. 💫🙌🏾

You had your baby shower, now what?!
It looks like a baby store blew up all over your house…
Your feet hurt, you’re tired most of the time in-between those random bursts of energy. The heart burn and round ligament pain that comes and goes… growing a baby is beautiful hard work!
You and your partner, maybe just you, are looking around like, what are we going to do with all this stuff, where are we going to put it, we have so much to do!
We can’t control when a baby is going to make their arrival. But what we can control a bit is how we prepare for after their arrival and our postpartum time.
How about have a nesting party!
This is where family and friends come over and help you get ready for your baby’s arrival. This can look like sorting and organize and washing baby clothes, crib/bassinet building, cleaning/sanitizing, etc.
But it doesn't stop there! Meal prepping is a awesome way to prepare as well. Postpartum nutrition is so important not just for your physical body's health but for your spiritual and mental as well. Having good nourishing meals and snacks made with love to eat is beneficial to your whole body. Freezer friendly dishes for you and anyone else in your home ready to warm up and enjoy. One less thing to worry about and more time to snuggle your new baby.
I want to support you on this journey. DM for more information on Nesting Party planning!
