[Our apprentice doula] was amazing. I really don't think we could have done this without her. She was so helpful in instructing me on positioning and breathing. She was calm, warm and encouraging. She helped me to have the labor I wanted. When I think about [our son's] birth, I feel proud, happy and amazed by what I was able to do. [Our doula] made this awesome experience possible for us and I will recommend her to friends and strangers in a heartbeat.
For your older baby: gentle solutions to separation anxiety
As our babies grow older, we face new challenges - including the wee one that doesn't take kindly to our brief-but-necessary absences! We love Elizabeth Pantley's books - they provide loving, thoughtful ways for parents to develop their own strategies around a variety of concerns: sleep, naps, potty training . . . Her books are evidence-based and while they have an attachment-parenting focus, are supportive of a wide variety of parenting styles, which we appreciate. Be sure to check out her lastest book, The No Cry Separation Anxiety Solution at www.nocrysolution.com.
