Every year, Leapfrog Group releases updated survey results of information gathered from hospitals across the country. We want to be sure our local families have all the information necessary to guide them when deciding which facility, and which provider, to choose for their pregnancy and postpartum care. In many ways, these choices play a huge part in your birth story, which then can impact your postpartum period.

Somewhere along the line, too many people started to make choices for their birth & postpartum experiences and believing those are the only correct choices. The fact of the matter is, everyone is working from a unique lived experience. The best choices for one individual or one family may not make sense or work well for another. At Fort Wayne Doulas + Lactation, we work to uphold your priorities and goals as OUR top priorities.

Often the postpartum parent finds it impossible to get anything done. Our regular tasks keep piling up and we feel the burden of shame approaching when we don't move things off our growing list. What is needed is help (of course) and a perspective shift. There is no shame in snuggling and bonding with your baby. Every nap-trapped moment, every time you comfort your newborn, and every time you assist your toddler you are being so very productive!

This moment is fleeting. Savor it. There is great benefit. It IS productive.
