🔆Let’s talk about #tummytime - no I did not forget #tipTuesday. 🤓 🔆 Tummy time is always a fun stage when your infant reaches about 4/5 weeks old. 🔆 Tummy time can be initiated in many different ways & methods. My favorite is pulling your knees up to your chest like a TeePee, turning baby around facing away from you, & draping their arms over your knees. This is good for when you are 1st introducing tummy time - before laying them on the floor with their arms under their chest propped up. 🔆 I’d love to know how you provide tummy time to your babe. #tampaflorida #pregnantmamasoftampa #postpartumdoulaTampa #babiesoftampa #labordoula #postpartumjourney #fourthtrimester #doulalove #overnightpostpartumdoula #tampafl #postpartumtampa #doulabusiness #letsdoulathis #virtualpostpartumdoula

✨3 Things that I know to be true about being a doula & specifically a postpartum overnight doula: * a) most people don’t know what a doula is * b) many people are wary about bringing a stranger into their home * c) some feel like it’s a luxury that only some can afford. ✨Please let me stop you right there. Let’s schedule a time where we can just talk. I am more than happy to answer questions & discuss how you can & should feel supported in this season of life. #newbornsoftampa #breastfeedingtampa #tampaflorida #pregnantmamasoftampa #postpartumdoulaTampa #babiesoftampa #labordoula #postpartumjourney #fourthtrimester #doulalove #overnightpostpartumdoula #tampafl #postpartumtampa #doulabusiness #letsdoulathis #virtualpostpartumdoula
🦕 We have officially reached the 3oz stage. 🦕 This is when I feel the most successful - it’s like I’ve completed the edge pieces of the puzzle & now we’re ready to start filling in the middle. 🦕 Weight gain is good - baby sleeps good - mama & daddy sleep good: everyone is just happy. #newbornsoftampa #breastfeedingtampa #tampaflorida #pregnantmamasoftampa #postpartumdoulaTampa #babiesoftampa #labordoula #postpartumjourney #fourthtrimester #doulalove #overnightpostpartumdoula #tampafl #postpartumtampa #doulabusiness #letsdoulathis #virtualpostpartumdoula
💉It’s Infertility Awareness Week & its stigma is far reaching. 💉 1 out of 6 women suffer from infertility. Read that again! It means you know someone & I know someone who has or is suffering. 💉 To the women who are & have suffered, you are seen & you are heard. Thank you for being persistent in your care & doing what is best for your health. #newbornsoftampa #breastfeedingtampa #tampaflorida #pregnantmamasoftampa #postpartumdoulaTampa #babiesoftampa #labordoula #postpartumjourney #fourthtrimester #doulalove #overnightpostpartumdoula #tampafl #postpartumtampa #doulabusiness #letsdoulathis
💡It’s #tiptuesday (sorry I missed last week - my dad was in the hospital, but he’s home now.) 💡Mama’s do you find yourself needing “one more thing” when you’re strapped to your breast pump? We’ll talk about cordless breast pumps at a later date. 💡 Consider setting up an acrylic tray that can home all the things you need while you pump & can travel room to room with you. 💡These trays can be found at a variety of stores & price points. 💡Here’s a list of things for your tray: breast pump, wipes, hand sanitizer, chapstick, and the list of options are endless. #newbornsoftampa #breastfeedingtampa #tampaflorida #pregnantmamasoftampa #postpartumdoulaTampa #babiesoftampa #labordoula #postpartumjourney #fourthtrimester #doulalove #overnightpostpartumdoula #tampafl #postpartumtampa #doulabusiness #letsdoulathis

#tiptuesday 📸 Technology is either a blessing or a curse - in this instance I’ll bless this all day long! 📸 Once your babe has arrived, it’s inevitable you don’t have enough hands to do anything - let alone hold a phone for a selfie or answer a FaceTime call. 📸 I recommend purchasing this phone attachment that can clamp to any surface & bend in any position. 📸This particular attachment can also hold your kindle & or your iPad. 📸 credit: @mokimmellkey #tampaflorida #pregnantmamasoftampa #postpartumdoulaTampa #babiesoftampa #labordoula #postpartumjourney #fourthtrimester #doulalove #overnightpostpartumdoula #tampafl #postpartumtampa #doulabusiness #letsdoulathis
🐾Household pets quickly become attached to the newest members of the family. 🐾 We lost one of furry babies this week & all the photos of her protecting the babes of this family never gets old. 🐾Anytime one of them fussed or whimpered she was quick to notify the nearest human who would listen to her. 🐾Don’t be afraid to bring your babe home to your furry babe - their tenderness & nurturing instincts will surprise you. #tampaflorida #pregnantmamasoftampa #postpartumdoulaTampa #babiesoftampa #labordoula #postpartumjourney #fourthtrimester #doulalove #overnightpostpartumdoula #tampafl #postpartumtampa #doulabusiness #letsdoulathis
#TipTuesday ✍️ In the world of convenience with grocery delivery, meal & retail delivery - here’s a tip to make your #postpartumrecovery a little easier. ✍️ Write a sticky note to your delivery personnel to just leave the packages at the door without ringing the doorbell. ✍️ there is also a cheeky sign you can get from an online shop but if you don’t have time - a good ole sticky note will do. #tampaflorida #pregnantmamasoftampa #postpartumdoulaTampa #babiesoftampa #labordoula #postpartumjourney #fourthtrimester #doulalove #overnightpostpartumdoula #tampafl #postpartumtampa #doulabusiness #letsdoulathis

🌎Thoughts for day 2 of World Doula Week, I salute all the doulas who show up not just for their clients but their families simultaneously. 🌎I encourage all of us today to make sure we fill our cup before we pour into someone else. 🌎Prioritize your healing space - whatever it looks like. 🌎Make time for your kiddos - they deserve the BEST version of you. 🌎Honor your partner as they sometimes pick up your share of the load. Drop in a comment if you have any to share. We can all learn something from someone. #tampaflorida #pregnantmamasoftampa #postpartumdoulaTampa #babiesoftampa #overnightpostpartumdoula #tampafl #postpartumtampa #doulabusiness #letsdoulathis

💛 March is #endometriosis awareness month. 💛 #endometriosis is when the tissue resembling the lining of the uterus grows on the outside of the uterus 💛 More than 1 in 10 women suffer from #endometriosis 💛Providers feel like these numbers are greater due to reporting issues, & misdiagnosis. 💛 Message me today if you are in the fight against this terrible disease, if you are a “thriver”, or if you are the caregiver/the village to someone who is/has suffered with #endometriosis 💛 Stay tuned for more information throughout this week & next as we discuss this topic. #fightendo #fightendolikeagirl #tampaflorida #pregnantmamasoftampa #postpartumdoulaTampa #babiesoftampa #overnightpostpartumdoula #tampafl #postpartumtampa #doulabusiness #letsdoulathis
