How do I stop being so anxious about labor?

I am a Type A, over-preparing, list-making, worst-case-scenario-running planner. Unashamedly. The kind of person who stress-researches things at 2am just to feel like I have a handle on them. And somehow??? I married someone in the military. I live on call for babies who have absolutely zero int...

Do Lactation Cookies Actually Boost Milk Supply? Here's the Truth

I get this question at least twice a week; in texts, in DMs, in my inbox. "What should I eat to boost my milk supply?" And I'll be honest with you: the answer is nothing.

Birth and death feel more alike than we admit

This week was an odd one. I supported 3 births while also supporting 1 death. As I moved between labors and hospice FaceTimes over the past few days, I couldn’t help but think about how similar birth and death really are. Both ask us to surrender to the unknown. To let go. To do something we don’...

Breastfeeding is Hard

Something I think about more often than not is how hard breastfeeding is. As a society, we both glorify and shame breastfeeding mothers. What do you mean you breastfeed in public?! Ugh, you're formula feeding?! Breastfeeding is so beautiful; it can't possibly be hard? Insert a MASSIVE eyeroll her...
