20.01.2022 Amazing documentary on the health benefits of seeding

19.01.2022 This is a wonderful breastfeeding resource!

16.01.2022 Human breastmilk is teeming with bacteria. One of the recently appreciated benefits of breastmilk are that the mother directly passes her gut microbes to the ch...ild. The breastmilk microbiome is packaged to design the newborns oral-gut and entire microbiome. When I see dental issues in children today, I now think back to issues they may have experienced in the womb. During pregnancy a Mother experiences increasing intestinal permeability. Pregnancy seems to induce a degree of leaky gut. Transporting gut bacteria to the mother’s blood stream is necessary. From here they travel in special immune system packages to the mammary gland. The milk microbiome is extremely diverse. The mother’s body orchestrates the packaging of microbes in breastmilk. It also profoundly changes during lactation. The reality is that parents pass on their own microbial and immune legacy to our children. In the mother, special immune cells carry microbes from the gut to the mammary glands. They are like a taskforce that handpick the microbes that will begin the ‘discussion’ with the newborn child’s mouth. During the first few months of life, the newborn oral and gut microbiome are uncolonized from the outside world. The oral microbiome is the first to be colonized, which then seeds the gut microbiome. Later these microbes become the child’s immune system. Breastmilk provides the blueprint of microbes that will impression a child’s immune system. Research is now linking changes in the newborn microbiome to allergies, obesity and type II diabetes. If there is one thing I’m talking to parents about these days, is the profound impact your own health has on your child’s health. A family share an entire microbiome and with it, a strong immune system, or a susceptibility to sickness. A mother’s microbiome critically shapes the oral flora of a newborn. One of your first priorities for healthy kids is to care for the gut microbiome. Did you notice gut issues during pregnancy? What about child dental issues?

14.01.2022 Happy hump day everyone! A video to make you giggle! How did you tell your family and friends you were pregnant?

13.01.2022 What a beautiful way to move through every wave, open the pelvis and bring baby down! Dancing baby out

13.01.2022 Posted @withrepost @babymooninn What if we stopped asking our care providers "Am I allowed to..." What if we stopped saying "My provider is going to let me......" What if we started asking about the benefits and risks of a procedure before it was done to us. What if our care providers told us those benefits and risks without being asked. What if we choose a birth team that recognizes the value and importance of shared decision-making. What if we choose a birth team that encourages us to be active participants in our own care. Your bodily autonomy doesn't disappear because you are pregnant or in labor. If you don't feel respected or heard by your care providers or place of birth, find new ones. Demand better. You and your baby are worth it. #yesbirthcanlooklikethis #birthcenters #midwives #informedchoice #birthwithoutfear #evidencebasedcare #babymooninn

11.01.2022 Great description of what a doula is

07.01.2022 If you are looking at this picture and tilting your head, you're probably not alone. So much focus in birth is on dilation that not much thought is given to bab...y's station. . . What does that mean? Station is how far baby's head is down in the pelvis in regards to the ischial spines. When baby is at 0 station, the top of their head is level with your ischial spines. As they move down the number becomes +1, +2 and so on until +4 which is baby is coming out. . . So why does this matter more than dilation? A woman can be fully dilated but baby could still only be at 0 or +1 station (sometimes still in the negatives even). As talked about above, +4 is baby coming out; so if you start actively trying to push while baby is still high, you're going to wear yourself out pretty quick. Letting your body do what it was designed to do and contract your baby down to +2 station will help decrease your pushing time and help save your energy which will improve outcomes for you and baby. . . When you're in labor, ask for baby's station rather than dilation! See more
