Newborn Nightingales

"As first-time parents, Laura not only helped us find a rhythm to our nighttime routine (which led to our child sleeping for long stretches), but she also taught us many parenting tips and tricks along the way. She always made sure I was taken care of in terms of postpartum needs as well...I can’t imagine navigating newborn life without her!" — Courtney K.

A 2025 study published in AJOG adds powerful, up-to-date data showing associations between doula care and improved maternal and newborn outcomes.

Key Maternal Outcomes:

More vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC): For every 100 patients who received doula care, there were 15 to 34 additional VBACs compared with those without doula care.

Higher postpartum follow-up attendance: 5 to 6 more per 100 received postpartum office visits.

Key Neonatal / Infant Outcomes

Increased exclusive breastfeeding rates: Babies whose families had doula support were more likely to breastfeed exclusively.

Fewer preterm births (and early preterm births): Doula-supported births showed a reduction in preterm birth rates.

In short, the study links doula care with improvements in birth outcomes — across birth mode (more VBACs), infant health (less prematurity), and early infant care (breastfeeding, postpartum follow-up).

Babies need a clear sleep space to breathe safely.

Soft bedding, pillows, blankets, and other items in the crib can increase the risk of suffocation by blocking a baby’s airway or limiting airflow.

The safest sleep setup is simple: place your baby on their back, on a firm, flat mattress with a fitted sheet, and keep the sleep space completely clear.

A bare crib helps protect your baby during every sleep.
