"Nursing Pillows: Who Needs Them?"

 Breastfeeding problems linked with using nursing pillows? Probably never would've thought that, but apparently it just might be so. One of the main concerns here is that it could cause your baby to have a bad latch,which in turn results in baby not feeding well and of course, pain on mom's part.

These nursing pillows can be a huge help to mom in many instances and have more uses than one, but if you are experiencing nursing problems, you may want to consider ditching the pillow. 


Interesting article I read on Breastfeeding USA regarding this topic:

"Nutrition for Pregnant Moms, Babies, Toddlers"

Excellent article from Green Smoothie Girl on breastfeeding being the best way to nourish your baby (and why), as well as healthy options if you can't:

"Breastfeeding versus formula is our topic today. First of all let’s talk about how long to nurse your baby...."

Welcome.

Welcome to my site. I am just now up and running and hope to be updating this often in the near future. This blog is to get my foot in the door in regards to my work as a doula, raising the money and acquiring the birth experiences that I need to get my certification. I am working towards that end and hoping that this will be turned into the actual website for my services. My current prices will be a very low rate and I will also offer my services for a very minimal fee to military and teen moms. If you have any questions or interests, please feel free to contact me (contact info to follow in the near future). I am serving in areas of both the Sacramento and Placer counties (CA).
