I’m a wife, mom, and a postpartum doula. I like to jokingly say that I hardly knew how to put a diaper on a baby before my eldest son was born. Less than two years later, his twin brothers joined our family and I learned how to not only diaper well, but diaper quickly! It was a learning curve for sure, made much smoother thanks to the love and support of others.

Adding a new baby to your family can be an absolutely awe-inspiring experience, full of joy and excitement. At the same time, it is such a shift — with the potential to be challenging not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. One of my favorite things about being a postpartum doula is having the opportunity to provide grounded, non-judgmental support to parents during this special time of transition.
