Your Guide to Doula Support During Labor and Delivery - A birth doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a birthing person and their partner before, during, and immediately after childbirth. Here's the key word: continuous. Unlike nurses who care for multiple patients during their shifts or midwives and doctors who arrive for key moments, a doula stays with you throughout your entire labor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1769448443120-B6UUA0GBSLSUHWDR2NEU/newborn-baby-birth.jpg blog - What Does a Birth Doula Do? Your Guide to Doula Support During Labor and Delivery - "Doula support offers many benefits: educational guidance, emotional reassurance, physical comfort measures, and advocacy. But the true power of doula support goes beyond any single technique—it's the value of skilled continuous presence and the profound sense of safety it creates in both the birth space and the birthing body." — Haley McNabb and Jessica Fawcett, birth doulas with a combined 16 years experience and founders of Beheld Birth Doula + Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1769447448335-13W6ULSJ3SSL5VBF9C46/unsplash-image-kAGK6L5w_XQ.jpg blog - What Does a Birth Doula Do? Your Guide to Doula Support During Labor and Delivery - They don't provide medical care – Doulas don't perform clinical tasks like checking dilation, monitoring fetal heart tones, or making medical decisions They don't replace your partner – Doulas enhance your partner's support, not replace it They don't make decisions for you – Doulas provide information and support, but all decisions remain yours They don't guarantee a specific outcome – Doulas support whatever birth unfolds, whether it's an unmedicated birth or an unexpected cesarean (and planned cesarean births too!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1769799467298-7JGGB8Q9NGLA59FVCANL/unsplash-image-dZYI4ga2eUA.jpg blog - What Does a Birth Doula Do? Your Guide to Doula Support During Labor and Delivery - “Every birth can benefit from a doula—first baby or fourth, medicated, unmedicated, or planned cesarean. Doulas provide steady emotional support, advocacy, and evidence-based guidance so families feel informed, supported, and empowered. Research shows doula support improves birth outcomes. Tip: hire your doula early—most work on a flat fee.” - Lisa Waldo, a birth and postpartum doula with over 37 years of experience and the founder of Balanced Beginnings Doulas, the longest standing birth and postpartum doula group in Colorado. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1769447558758-Y0AGQWRK19H73J3K74DM/image-asset.jpeg blog - What Does a Birth Doula Do? Your Guide to Doula Support During Labor and Delivery - Shorter labors Decreased use of pain medication and epidurals Lower rates of cesarean births Lower rates of assisted deliveries (forceps or vacuum) Higher satisfaction with the birth experience Better breastfeeding initiation These aren't guarantees—every birth is unique—but the statistics suggest that doula support makes a meaningful difference in birth outcomes and experiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1773610247518-CKGT6SFS95PCCRQ7ZXKC/unsplash-image-i8ZgD6YmzyM.jpg blog - What Does a Birth Doula Do? Your Guide to Doula Support During Labor and Delivery - "The best way to find your doula is to meet them in person or virtually and see if your energy aligns. Trust your intuition in the way you can trust your body during your birth” Bonnie Slater, a doula with 30 years of experience and founder of Doulas of Boulder https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1769447792099-KSMGEPECWDKAK0T9GWCJ/image-asset.jpeg blog - What Does a Birth Doula Do? Your Guide to Doula Support During Labor and Delivery - Most families hire a doula during the second trimester, though it's never too late! If you know you definitely want a birth doula you might even start the conversation in the first trimester. I have so many second time parents who joke that they called their birth doula to hire them again even before they tell their family they are pregnant! The earlier you connect, the more time you have to build a relationship and discuss your birth preferences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/4fc1d39f-c76f-4aaa-91e4-485520321589/FaithBirth-2.jpg blog - What Does a Birth Doula Do? Your Guide to Doula Support During Labor and Delivery - Giving birth is likely one of the most intense physical and emotional experiences you'll ever have. Having someone by your side who is trained, experienced, calm, and completely focused on supporting you can make an enormous difference in how you experience labor—regardless of how your birth unfolds. A doula won't guarantee you the "perfect" birth (because that doesn't exist!), but they will ensure you feel supported, informed, and empowered throughout the process. For many families, that support is absolutely invaluable. Whether you're planning a home birth, birth center delivery, or hospital birth—whether you want an epidural or hope to go unmedicated—a birth doula can enhance your experience and help you feel more confident as you approach one of life's most transformative moments. https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/yoga-for-plantar-fasciitis-movement-practices-to-ease-foot-pain monthly 0.5 2026-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1769452109769-75RX0OJ8CXN2JH4V5C26/unsplash-image-L1kLSwdclYQ.jpg blog - Yoga for Plantar Fasciitis: Movement Practices to Ease Foot Pain - Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue running from your heel to your toes (the plantar fascia) becomes inflamed or develops micro-tears, usually from overuse or strain. While this tissue is the primary source of pain, tightness in your Achilles tendon, calf muscles, and hamstrings also contributes to plantar heel pain—which is exactly where yoga comes in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1769452339026-8ISFE75YS7DJXR7VLK5Y/unsplash-image-EayqAlQiFeQ.jpg blog - Yoga for Plantar Fasciitis: Movement Practices to Ease Foot Pain - Whether you have five minutes or thirty, your feet deserve care and attention. Choose the practice that fits your schedule today, roll out your mat, and give your feet the relief they've been asking for. Your feet carry you through life—let's support them well. https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/the-power-of-partner-massage-during-pregnancy-connection-oxytocin-and-care monthly 0.5 2026-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1768917640194-IEQ34YXL1PKH2YFNTUQD/unsplash-image-lCxP9YvylGY.jpg blog - The Power of Partner Massage During Pregnancy: Connection, Oxytocin, and Care - You probably already know that oxytocin plays a crucial role during labor and birth—it's the hormone that triggers contractions and helps with milk let-down after your baby arrives. But did you know that oxytocin also plays a vital role in our adult intimate relationships, creating feelings of connection, trust, affection, attachment, security, and closeness? These are exactly the feelings we want present in our birthing spaces and as we navigate the transition of growing our families! Research consistently shows that couples who offer each other more affectionate touch—including backrubs, handholding, and hugging—tend to be happier and more satisfied in their relationships. Physical affection correlates positively with relationship and partner satisfaction, and this intimate, non-sexual touch has unique benefits for both partners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1768917900503-RLEB01YV76HTA5UUFWZ8/image-asset.jpeg blog - The Power of Partner Massage During Pregnancy: Connection, Oxytocin, and Care - There's something uniquely powerful about receiving a massage from someone who loves you. While professional prenatal massage (which I obviously believe in!) offers skilled therapeutic work, partner massage offers something different: intimacy, availability, and the ongoing practice of caring for each other. Research has found that hand-administered massage (meaning massage by human touch) increases oxytocin release and activates brain regions involved in social cognition and reward—but notably, machine-administered massage doesn't have the same effect. It's the human connection that amplifies the benefits. And presumably when that intentional care is coming from someone who matters to you, the benefits could be even greater! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1768918341630-FXPQIYNUD8T7H5VESGZA/unsplash-image-pHircQqnwSE.jpg blog - The Power of Partner Massage During Pregnancy: Connection, Oxytocin, and Care - While any time is a good time for supportive touch, certain moments in pregnancy make partner massage especially valuable: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1768918444257-9MBLXW7593YI1J6KJG1P/unsplash-image-Z39a7lqZusU.jpg blog - The Power of Partner Massage During Pregnancy: Connection, Oxytocin, and Care - Here's what I've observed over years of working with couples: the patterns of care you establish during pregnancy often extend into the postpartum period and beyond. Partners who regularly massage during pregnancy tend to stay engaged in the routine of hands-on caregiving after the baby arrives. https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/exhausted-after-the-holidays-this-january-practice-will-help-with-next-year monthly 0.5 2026-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1767558179198-C6AL97SHC5FLYN85KONA/holiday+burnout blog - Exhausted After the Holidays? This January Practice Will Help with Next Year - Personally, I don't think of the holidays as being especially high-stress or over-the-top at our house, but then I notice little things in mid-December that tell me my brain is on overload and my resources are dwindling: forgetting to bring part of my lunch to work, accidentally leaving the garage door open, or waking up without feeling fully refreshed. . Do you know the small signs your system is over-extended? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/6baaa3c8-d7b7-4c06-9ecc-78ed77ed6b7b/unsplash-image-jw3xbuelpKM.jpg blog - Exhausted After the Holidays? This January Practice Will Help with Next Year - Grab your calendar and your journal and let's begin. If you're listening, see if you can mentally review, but I encourage to take out your calendar because our brains can be SO biased and aspirational, and our calendars often create a more accurate record of our day-to-day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1767558462970-RIS5CRJGD13FUT7Y9PLY/unsplash-image-BJ7i-96glwM.jpg blog - Exhausted After the Holidays? This January Practice Will Help with Next Year - Sometimes we want to keep our holiday activities exactly as they are even if they feel overwhelming, and instead of cutting anything out, we need to add in more nurturing time to keep ourselves full. Or maybe there are traditions that your kids (or parents) absolutely love that you hate. Perhaps there's something you enjoy giving back to the community at this time of year, but it's also very draining. We can respect these as important traditions AND we can also take care of ourselves and our own energy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/a0197d18-096c-443c-907d-aac7b44d8b33/hannukah.jpg blog - Exhausted After the Holidays? This January Practice Will Help with Next Year - In your journal, make these three lists: Things you're excited to include in your holidays next year Things you hope not to do next year Things you want to do to take care of yourself through the harder parts of the holidays https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1767558974238-CV7433W6TEVM48X8BQIU/unsplash-image-vcX5AhBwk6s.jpg blog - Exhausted After the Holidays? This January Practice Will Help with Next Year - Our last step here is communication. Once you have a real plan in place, see if there's anyone you need to communicate with around your new plan. Do you need to let your kids know ahead of time that something is changing? Do you want to let the neighbors know you're no longer hosting the holiday block party and someone else is welcome to step in? https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/honoring-grief-and-embracing-autumns-letting-go-energy monthly 0.5 2025-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1757950717010-WXG90G6J7K3A8S1W53UU/unsplash-image-PTsZb5e9Wgw.jpg blog - Honoring Grief and Embracing Autumn's Letting Go Energy Did you know that, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), each season corresponds to specific meridians and energetic qualities? Fall is associated with the Lung and Large Intestine meridians, and its predominant emotions are grief, sadness, and letting go. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1757950914656-CX62YTYRC25JRSBTI8IT/unsplash-image-yLj3ALJj7Ms.jpg blog - Honoring Grief and Embracing Autumn's Letting Go Energy At Mountain Mama Massage, we accompany clients through every season of life. While many people first discover us during the joyful time of growing their family, we work with clients for years as life unfolds—and life inevitably brings grief in many forms. We all encounter both large and small losses: the death of a parent, pet, or relative; the end of a friendship or close relationship; identity shifts (like the transition from maiden to mother); job loss; missed opportunities; pregnancy loss. Our massage therapists are human too, and this past year several have experienced significant losses with the deaths of beloved family members. Fall can be an especially beneficial season to give extra attention to the grief we've experienced throughout the year, engaging with rituals that help us process these losses as we move into winter's darker months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1757951129770-HXP1PNHQIBFOZPOXXYXL/unsplash-image-nF8xhLMmg0c.jpg blog - Honoring Grief and Embracing Autumn's Letting Go Energy Gather with others who knew your loved one or who are willing to hear their stories. Share memories and enjoy foods they loved. I have a great uncle who was famous for his love of desserts—my family still memorializes him by sharing ice cream sundaes in his honor whenever we're together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1757951198797-FMYXFBV1AOKD6ZY7FNRG/unsplash-image-Bq-QlxGgWPM.jpg blog - Honoring Grief and Embracing Autumn's Letting Go Energy Many cultures practice lighting candles or building altars for the deceased, but this ritual works equally well when grieving changes in identity or circumstances. An altar, for this purpose, is any intentional space you create to honor a person, event, or circumstance—it might also include items representing the next phase of your journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1757951409752-DIDR1OEJE1XEEZ21X7V1/unsplash-image-goholCAVTRs.jpg blog - Honoring Grief and Embracing Autumn's Letting Go Energy Write letters or speak aloud to someone who has died to feel closer to them. In Japan, a man created a "wind phone"—a disconnected telephone in his garden where people could "call" deceased loved ones. This idea has spread, and wind phones now exist throughout the US. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1757951502646-DVCEII4D5KBZV2PM79FR/unsplash-image-8Yyj7_pYaJg.jpg blog - Honoring Grief and Embracing Autumn's Letting Go Energy Many people run races or complete athletic challenges while fundraising for causes close to their loved one's heart or related to their passing. Even without fundraising, hiking or spending time in nature can be deeply therapeutic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1757951586999-H8ZC5GGLDGIWPBI2TRVM/unsplash-image-0SUho_B0nus.jpg blog - Honoring Grief and Embracing Autumn's Letting Go Energy A long pilgrimage may not be accessible to this moment in your life, but perhaps you could go for a local hike. One solo hiking ritual I use focuses on grief and memories during the outbound journey. At the turning point, I pause to contemplate or create a small natural altar. On the return trip, I shift my attention to how I want to live this person's memory forward or integrate the changing identity or circumstance into my life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1757951644444-GUEWZ8ARCMQ00OJAAUPQ/unsplash-image-WA_O4UAUfxc.jpg blog - Honoring Grief and Embracing Autumn's Letting Go Energy Writing remains one of the most accessible ways to process emotions. Set aside dedicated time for deep journaling about your grief. Some helpful prompts include: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1757952358734-NAGGI3PDXGGKV0QN7HL0/unsplash-image-HELLcxdpz5g.jpg blog - Honoring Grief and Embracing Autumn's Letting Go Energy In American culture, grief often remains hidden, treated almost like a contagious illness. This feels normal to us, but many other cultures approach grief as a communal experience, expecting those who've suffered close losses to take approximately two years to fully integrate their loss. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1757951821392-ZB7CCIL8S6UQ87DAF7SL/unsplash-image-4rDCa5hBlCs.jpg blog - Honoring Grief and Embracing Autumn's Letting Go Energy October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. If this experience is part of your story, our clients have shared several rituals over the years that have been meaningful to them: Planting a tree in memory of your pregnancy or baby Creating an altar space in your home with meaningful items for remembrance Taking a ritual hike or engaging in quiet physical activity for remembrance— carrying ashes or a memento if that feels appropriate Creating art for yourself or to share with others Locally, we are fortunate to have access to private individual therapy and community support groups that welcome those who've experienced pregnancy or infant loss. Please see our Grief Resources: Miscarriage and Infant Loss Support for options accessible locally, globally, and resources for those who would like to grieve in private. https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/3-super-simple-summer-meals monthly 0.5 2025-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1747408864727-FSYM2UZD0DT2PKY6XC2F/unsplash-image-9Um7Huux0as.jpg blog - 3 Super Simple Summer Meals - And no, I’m not sponsored by Costco in any way.

This is an incredibly tender time for parents and babies, and maintaining a close support circle is completely appropriate. You have my permission to not stand outside chatting with your curious neighbor.

While I support this if it's truly what you want, I strongly encourage you to consider who can provide support. Postpartum time is sweet, magical, and unpredictable. From my perspective as a postpartum doula: If you're caring for the baby, and your partner is caring for you, who's caring for your partner? Many partners will deny needing anything and focus entirely on the birthing parent. But as we covered earlier—food needs preparation, pets need care, dishes need washing. If you're limiting extended family involvement to protect privacy and family bonding during these first weeks, consider hiring a postpartum doula or meal delivery service so you BOTH have opportunities to slow down, bond, and rest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/290a495b-446d-42e1-857b-211339870dbe/family-support-for-dads.jpg blog - Connection and Support During Your Postpartum Journey: Part 3 in What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - For those of you who are local to Colorado - movement and nature are popular ways to relax and de-stress in our community. Consider having a friend or family member come to the house during the first week to be with the birthing parent and baby if they aren’t comfortable being alone yet so that the non-birthing parent can get outside or out to move. Birth has a lot of energy and I’ve seen so many partners benefit from continuing their movement practice even during the first week postpartum - get to the trails, the gym, the yoga studio. However you move your energy please continue to take care of yourself! It’s how you show up best https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/7df12fb0-d664-46db-8bac-6cd215a3348f/introducing-older-child-to-baby.jpg blog - Connection and Support During Your Postpartum Journey: Part 3 in What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - Introducing Baby to Siblings If you have older children at home there will naturally be a little more beautiful chaos postpartum as your family grows and adjusts! Community support can be essential this first week. Families welcoming 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th children almost always include their family, postpartum doula, sibling doula, or other caregiver support right away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1745533718500-DIVGV18YK01H7O7RE1RZ/postpartum-mom-snuggles-swaddled-baby.jpg blog - Connection and Support During Your Postpartum Journey: Part 3 in What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - Beyond the First Week Postpartum Remember that these first six days are just the beginning of your postpartum journey. Be gentle with yourself. Ask for what you need. Know that finding your rhythm takes time. There's no single "right way" to navigate this period—what matters most is that you and your baby are safe, nourished, and supported. As your postpartum journey continues, we're here to support you every step of the way. https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/postpartum-nourishment-for-baby-and-you-part-2-in-our-what-to-expect-in-the-first-week-after-birth-series monthly 0.5 2025-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1745183856517-UU0NWG6IXDZOOBH8J5HD/mother-and-baby-in-bed.jpg blog - Postpartum Nourishment for Baby and You: Part 2 in What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - Feeding your Baby While feeding your newborn is recommended to be "on demand," you'll likely feed your baby at least every 3 hours from breast or bottle. Early breastfeeding takes around 34 hours weekly (nearly equivalent to a full-time job!)—and this happens around the clock. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/a61e262d-b451-44d2-8cc5-2b3ec8131929/breastfeeding-baby.jpg blog - Postpartum Nourishment for Baby and You: Part 2 in What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) offers the highest level of support for breasts and babies' mouths. If you give birth at a birth center or hospital, a nurse or IBCLC likely will help with early breastfeeding and if you are at home your midwife will support you and baby finding that first latch. But support doesn't stop there! Many IBCLCs offer prenatal visits and classes about feeding options, and many parents seek support in the first weeks and months with all kinds of babyfeeding questions (breastfeeding, bottlefeeding, or both!). The key is finding someone who supports YOUR goals—whether breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or a combination. If someone isn't supportive, try someone new! While IBCLCs have the highest training level available about new parents breastfeeding, you'll also find Lactation Consultants with certifications or other community support groups for feeding babies. Find a great list of IBCLCs, lactation consultants, and feeding groups on our resource page. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1745184396950-6JVJYCVM3UMPRQWRKPH0/postpartum-meal-planning-postpartum-cooking.jpg blog - Postpartum Nourishment for Baby and You: Part 2 in What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - Feeding Postpartum Parents I think after reading that last section on what it takes to feed your newborn you can understand why I’m kind of obsessed with the idea of “if the parents are caring for the baby, then who’s caring for the parents?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/fa358d46-e224-4776-bbc6-6c659ff74493/healthy-meal-prep-postpartum.jpg blog - Postpartum Nourishment for Baby and You: Part 2 in What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - Options include: - Partner and visiting family cooking - Meal trains organized by friends - Food delivery services - Pre-cooking and freezing meals - Ordering from postpartum meal delivery services - Hiring a chef or postpartum doula to cook in your home - Ordering groceries online - Sharing a grocery list with local family members (my mother would check our list when shopping, which was tremendously helpful!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1745184618720-LTOUHETU487ESCIIW9MM/warming-postpartum-food-nourishing-postpartum-food-for-new-parents.jpg blog - Postpartum Nourishment for Baby and You: Part 2 in What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - Being awake at night often leads to carb cravings and sometimes upset stomach (related to cortisol and digestion) so when cooking for postpartum families, I always included easy-to-grab carb-heavy foods that settle the stomach: roasted sweet potato wedges, Indian kitchari, simple chicken or egg dishes, and noodles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/3cda363d-3f6c-46e8-987a-9b7076e80def/staying-hydrated-postpartum.jpg blog - Postpartum Nourishment for Baby and You: Part 2 in What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - Water: Essential Hydration You'll need plenty of water postpartum—about 120-130 ounces daily (a gallon is 128 ounces).

You did it! You birthed your baby (or babies)! How are you doing? Newborn care and the arrival of a new baby is overwhelming, beautiful, and intense all at once. Just know we're here in your circle of support. As Mr. Rogers wisely said: "Look for the helpers. There are always helpers." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1745095146134-2LP7WZZXFBP34UR1OCWZ/newborn-baby-skin-to-skin-with-mom-in-hospital-gown.jpg blog - How to Rest Better with Baby- Part 1 in our What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - The First Six Days: Rest to Recover Postpartum Whether you had a cesarean or vaginal birth, the first week with your baby is a time to focus on slowing down, resting, and getting to know your new family. As an Ayurvedic postpartum doula, I'd love it if every family could slow down, rest, and bond as a new family for the first 42 days (the "sacred window" in Ayurveda), but the first 6 days are a really great starting point. In this series we are covering basic needs during your first week postpartum and potential challenges. And since new parents often wonder, "Am I doing this right?", remember this is just one perspective—there are many valid approaches to early postpartum care. Note for families with birth complications or extended hospital stays: Apply these principles when possible, but consider restarting your "first six days" clock once you and baby are home together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/4add6d0b-66f6-4629-a444-b64d666b0060/newborn+photo+shoot+with+parents.jpg blog - How to Rest Better with Baby- Part 1 in our What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - First Things First: Your Postpartum Body Don't bring your pre-pregnancy jeans to the hospital! Thanks to more authentic sharing online, we're becoming more familiar with real postpartum bodies. Bellies don't "bounce back" right away—you birth a baby and placenta, but your belly remains somewhat large and firm after birth.When you are packing for birth, pack your favorite pregnancy leggings and a nursing or maternity top for going home. As a longtime postpartum doula, when I gave birth I knew I'd need pregnancy pants to get home after, but thought my husband's oversized flannel shirt would suffice. It was no match for my engorged breasts and still-full belly! I squeezed into it to get home, then immediately changed back into pajamas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1745095530286-3GNFV3ZIIP2GG6P6J6YG/image-asset.jpeg blog - How to Rest Better with Baby- Part 1 in our What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - First Week Postpartum Priorities Rest Food Water Connection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1745095718113-V785BJF16F42QRNYSWE4/unsplash-image-d03KI-DMjIg.jpg blog - How to Rest Better with Baby- Part 1 in our What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - As adults, when we think of rest, we think of sleep. While incredibly restorative, sleep is often elusive with a newborn. When considering rest this first week, think about everything you can do to make your body work less: Set up your bedroom with essentials nearby: a table for food, water, tea, baby supplies Stay on one floor level as much as possible Prioritize reclining rather than sitting upright Take short walks as needed (bathroom, water refills, diaper changes) Stay in bed or reclined on the couch to help your pelvic floor recover—these muscles have supported your growing uterus throughout pregnancy and need time to heal whether you birthed vaginally or by cesarean https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1745095989334-MIHA3AYABR0415OE1PYA/unsplash-image-CwIU33KGToc.jpg blog - How to Rest Better with Baby- Part 1 in our What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series Sleep in shifts: One parent (or helper) watches baby while the other sleeps for a few hours, then switch Consider a caffeine break so you can rest whenever the opportunity arises Put a sign on your doorbell: "Please don't ring or knock, baby sleeping" (good if you have dogs that bark) Create a door sign with baby's arrival details and visitor guidelines (hand washing, keeping visits brief, or inviting practical help) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1745096339737-5EN52OLY1TVMXKC04ERK/sleeping-baby.jpg blog - How to Rest Better with Baby- Part 1 in our What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - Rules of Rest Establish clear "Rules of Rest" with your partner: Are interruptions welcome or discouraged? Should the house be quiet or is normal noise okay? Should baby be kept away from the resting parent or nearby? When should help be requested? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1745096389235-N0YYU1PJK2513NATO4RZ/baby-breastfeeding-baby-chestfeeding.jpg blog - How to Rest Better with Baby- Part 1 in our What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series - As a postpartum doula, I've noticed that breastfeeding parents often struggle to rest if worried their baby might be showing feeding cues while their partner tries to soothe them. Some birthing parents rest best with their baby out of earshot, while others can only relax with their baby nearby. Remember—after being carried in the womb for nearly 10 months, being outside the body is already a significant change! For those who can’t rest with a baby nearby, scheduling a rest time when your partner or a friend can take the baby for a stroll is great. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1745096750063-KBI8I6LMQZ84MW6B4GSQ/new-parent-food.jpg blog - How to Rest Better with Baby- Part 1 in our What to Expect in the First Week After Birth Series Part 2 - Feeding Baby, Feeding Parents, and Staying Hydrated Postpartum https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/tech-time-out-finding-balance-in-a-digital-world monthly 0.5 2025-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1739467275835-T5N8TUNGLOQTAP4FEU01/unsplash-image-HbyYFFokvm0.jpg blog - Tech Time Out: Finding Balance in a Digital World - As a massage therapist focused on stress relief and wellness, I recently embarked on a month-long social media break and reduced my overall tech use.

Suddenly you're home with a baby, busy all the time with the same few tasks, and not out and about in a way that feels familiar. Probably the best skill that came from the pandemic is knowing how to genuinely connect with friends and family over technology. When many of us were practicing “stay-at-home life” 5 years ago, we started connecting with friends both near and far over messaging, video, and phone. While video fatigue is VERY real and my preschooler absolutely says “no” to videochats some days in exchange for hanging out with people off screens, the immediate postpartum can be a great time to bring back early morning video calls with grandma or happy hour chats to introduce friends near and far to your new baby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/04b67594-a587-4318-beaa-13005d589701/unsplash-image-HlNcigvUi4Q.jpg blog - how the 2020 pandemic helped you prepare for postpartum - Nutrition and Nourishment Postpartum is a really important time to nourish your body. Good food can make a huge difference in mood, mental health, and physical recovery. During the early pandemic, in an effort to go to the grocery store less, many people who had never tried meal planning learned to schedule a week of meals and shop for a whole week (or two) at a time. Many also became more comfortable varying or modifying recipes to match what they already had in the kitchen. This is an amazing postpartum skill both for early postpartum and later for parent/s returning to paid work. A little organization means less trips to the grocery store which saves you the chaos of getting a little baby in and out of the grocery store, but more importantly it saves you time - whether that is daycare time or your own nap time, your hours are more precious than ever before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1737933425273-J99O1OOQKFZNUHFAWQVG/unsplash-image-x4t14QJb1cQ.jpg blog - how the 2020 pandemic helped you prepare for postpartum - Accessing Mental Health Support Another shift during the pandemic was that many mom groups and new parents support groups changed to offer both in-person and virtual connection. In those early days of parenting when you are not quite ready to get out of the house these virtual groups mean you can still connect with other new parents and if you are returning to paid work you may even be able to continue to fit these groups into your schedule if you work from home. (A pumping break with a support group seems much less lonely!) For those experiencing mild postpartum depression, breaking through the isolation many new parents feel can be HUGELY beneficial and these virtual groups help make that connection accessible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1bc5b835-e0a2-40b3-822f-d9967a3a834e/image-asset.jpg blog - how the 2020 pandemic helped you prepare for postpartum - Contentment The other skill many people learned in the pandemic was how to simply be with themself. I talk to clients everyday who feel like life is back at rocket-speed and although they are definitely NOT longing for lockdown again, they are wishing for the chance to stay home, go slow, and have no plans outside their immediate family. Even though things can be busy early postpartum with doctor appointments for the birthing parent and baby, playing with older kids, and scheduling family and friend visits - the early days of postpartum life have a unique opportunity to shut out the world and soak in that sweet baby. To really take advantage of this time you have to be willing to be somewhat uncomfortable and to settle into all the strange sleeping hours, new sensations, and upheaval that also comes with these early days. https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/why-families-are-choosing-birth-centers-a-personalized-approach-to-care monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/5b397bc9-6b68-4ae5-8f29-64ed6233df81/RebeccaAnnWalsh_CheriseSteele-27.jpeg blog - Why Families Are Choosing Birth Centers: A Personalized Approach to Care - When it comes to childbirth, every family deserves care that reflects their unique needs and values. For many, birth centers are becoming the preferred choice over traditional hospital settings. They offer something distinct: a deeply personal, intimate, and supportive experience. Here’s why so many families are choosing birth centers and unmedicated births. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/7b9f8868-c39e-4937-a693-4d72ed860a17/Rooms-3+%281%29.jpg blog - Why Families Are Choosing Birth Centers: A Personalized Approach to Care - Why Families Choose Colorado Birth & Wellness We find that clients choose our Denver based birth center because of the personalized, evidence-based care in a nurturing environment. https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/no-resolutions-in-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1735911545930-ZMO8S18E95HJY3FKNE2S/unsplash-image-DlgFZG0MvaU.jpg blog - radical resolutions in 2025 - I am fascinated by what really helps humans make change and I personally can say that sometimes when I set a firm a direct goal the part of myself that holds the inner rebellious teenager immediately chaffs at the expectations. Now, over the years I’ve learned how to work with the parts of myself that might procrastinate or try to sabotage so that I can set goals without the rebellion, but I’ve also learned there are other ways to think about goals and create a better life for myself than just a cycle of failed New Year’s resolutions. (Did you know most people give up on any resolution by February?!?) This year, what if instead of setting a goals-based resolution (go to the gym, eat healthier, sleep more) or even a word of the year — what if you chose a feeling for the year. (And no, the intention here is not “FEEL HAPPY” 100% of the time). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1735911736988-NVSFDPP0GPT4WU98WV1I/unsplash-image-9n1USijYJZ4.jpg blog - radical resolutions in 2025 - Let’s say you want to feel more ease with your schedule. Again, start with: what does ease feel like in your body? Is there a way your shoulders relax or your jaw unclenches when you feel at ease? Next, you might review your calendar for the last year and see if there are events that particularly stress you out and rework those. Sometimes you have to be ruthless about saying no, even to fun things, if too many fun things in a row creates more stress for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1735911927522-8J1C6QWNJQ5N0Y07H71N/unsplash-image-zlABb6Gke24.jpg blog - radical resolutions in 2025 - Sometimes I let my feeling desire be really abstract. I’ll say, I want more evenings where I feel like I’m sitting in the soft lighting of a cozy restaurant. I would make choices that led me to more evenings of quiet connection setting dates with friends or family dinners instead of working late. I would sit down with a book more than scrolling social media. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1735912154111-NPL0EWGDQNE03J34XY5K/unsplash-image-3ZvHsFiZyME.jpg blog - radical resolutions in 2025 - As a final aside: If you set a word of the year with us last year… do you still remember your word of the year for 2024? Mine was Create and oh man, I really dove in! I created our fully online Partner Massage for Pregnancy course, a 5-Day Partner Massage Challenge, a Busy to Bedtime yoga mini-class, changed to sharing monthly email newsletters with all our clients, and played around with social media! It was a busy year :) I’d love to hear what your word for the year was for 2024 and the ways it did and didn’t come into fruition. https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/the-first-6-hours monthly 0.5 2024-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1729547429005-ZLX9V5PM274P60ARJ7Q6/image-asset.jpeg blog - the reality of your first 6 hours with a newborn - Oh my.

If for some reason that parent isn’t ready to receive the baby yet and there is another parent or caregiver present, the baby is often placed skin-to-skin with the other parent. The power of skin-to-skin contact with the birthing parent in the first hour after birth has been established in research for many years now and clinical practice all over Boulder County has been adjusted to meet this standard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1729547717196-Q159R64EK5EU4CTXPWMJ/unsplash-image-RXG9IQxfhec.jpg blog - the reality of your first 6 hours with a newborn - The Placenta Now that we know where your baby is settled in those first moments after birth, did you know that labor continues beyond the arrival of your baby?

Yes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/c10899f2-7be5-4ae6-a930-9837565b89f4/FaithBirth-51+2.jpg blog - the reality of your first 6 hours with a newborn - Medical Needs Typically in this time there will also be a few medical needs to be cared for too. If you had a cesarean birth, your surgery will be completed including the closing of your incision. If you had any tearing during your vaginal birth that needs repair you may receive stitches. Baby will need to be examined (often this happens right in your arms) and weighed and if you are choosing any vaccines or medications immediately after birth, they will be administered in these first 6 hours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1729548340135-QKEBPIMEGE2YLOD6RR7K/unsplash-image-NFH6LovuJso.jpg blog - the reality of your first 6 hours with a newborn - Starting Nursing If you are choosing to breast/chestfeed this is the time when you and baby will start to figure each other out.

Whether you need more water, a fresh ice pack, a warm blanket, or anything else let me reassure you - you are not asking for too much! Ask for anything you need to be more comfortable and to get some rest. Although some people lose their appetite for a short time after birth, once you are ready, enjoy a delicious meal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1729548725052-4JH7XLIFUFZMTKX3GR64/unsplash-image-VqnYIyDcpN0.jpg blog - the reality of your first 6 hours with a newborn What do you remember about your first 6 hours after birth?

I’ve been part of a veggie CSA for nearly 10 years now. My first pickup is this Thursday and (weirdly!) I love when my fridge shelves get all gritty with the real dirt from those farm veggies. But, when it comes to quick cooking nights, swap your fresh veggies for frozen veggies. I make an amazing ayurvedic kitchari and when I have time, I peel and chop all the vegetables with care. But when I’m short on time I use frozen spinach and the kitchari is just as delicious - and is a good source of iron. Toddler tip: this recipe has also been a great way to get spinach into my toddler. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1717184632253-S8EVAJ8WXSUWRFCTTHEF/image-asset.jpeg blog - super simple summer kitchen hacks - Pick up a rotisserie chicken at the store. In the winter I’ll roast a whole chicken when we are around the house for a chilly afternoon and then use the meat in dishes and the bones for stock. But in the summer? I swing by the store after hiking and grab that already cooked rotisserie chicken. Serve it for dinner. Chop it up for camp lunches. Mix it into a chicken salad. Keep it simple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1717184709095-BH5J1SXFONMXNAVOOBWA/image-asset.jpeg blog - super simple summer kitchen hacks - Which brings me to my next hack and back to the frozen veggies. Keep a bag of peas and carrots in the freezer. Adding peas and carrots to your chicken salad is such an easy way to get in veggies with no chopping required. Uninspired by the veggies in your fridge for lunch? Throw some frozen peas and carrots into your lunchbox or snack bag and they will be unfrozen by lunchtime. This is my absolute favorite meal to “hack” with the frozen peas and carrots and rotisserie chicken. You’ll still need to cut up the onion and celery, but then simply add the carrots and peas at the same time rather than adding the carrots with the onion and celery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1717184920179-8F759I048QCTCU8RWR3J/image-asset.jpeg blog - super simple summer kitchen hacks - Learn to “rough chop” your herbs. Again, when I have the time (and patience like when I’m working with clients) I pull the leaves off cilantro stems by hand to top salads, soups, and mexican dishes. But at home when a tired toddler is holding my leg asking for cookies and I just NEED to get dinner on the table - I hold all the stems in one hand and shave the leaves off at an angle just like in this video. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1717185006183-3SCCQW41JFCQ3TCN8YNI/image-asset.jpeg blog - super simple summer kitchen hacks - My last two summer hacks need little explanation: Make too much. When you make a big meal in the oven or on the stove, make too much and repurpose the leftovers or freeze the full meal. This works especially well with cooked meat, soups, stews, lasagna, muffins and quiche. Truth- I sometimes cheat while camping and bring a meal I’ve already cooked for the first night. On the hottest days, use a slow cooker or pressure cooker instead of the stove or oven. These magic machines aren’t just for winter stews! In the summer I use mine to make slow roasted chicken, beef, pork, or beans to fill tacos and top salads. And I almost always make too much so that I can freeze some for next week. https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/12-ideas-to-celebrate-mothers-day monthly 0.5 2024-05-02 https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/the-secret-to-happiness monthly 0.5 2024-04-01 https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/movement-march-prenatal-fitness monthly 0.5 2024-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1709817902883-WSJWJ1622DFL7DWPZNRE/image-asset.jpeg blog - I like to move it, move it. - I think we spend too much time pretending that the journey into and out of pregnancy is somehow linear when for most people it is far more of a spiral or labyrinth. But that’s a topic for another day :) Back to winter! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1709818092640-70RXJA1RU785C184ED8D/image-asset.jpeg blog - I like to move it, move it. - Because fitness doesn’t start in a single day. It’s showing up over and over again. Because movement is great for our mental health - and we all need a boost to finish out winter! Because research shows that doing movement we love is an even better path to health and happiness than doing any one particular kind of fitness training that we think we should do. With this happiness in mind, you’ll find me walking outside a lot of days. Let me know if you get moving too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1709818318075-HAM8BTWI9I6G0W9YXSMI/image-asset.jpeg blog - I like to move it, move it. - But if you are pregnant, it can feel a little more challenging to find ways to move that feel really good in your body. In my experience as a prenatal and postpartum yoga teacher and perinatal massage therapist I have found that many pregnant people need daily movement to feel their best and adapt to the changes of pregnancy. Something as simple as 5 minutes of yoga before bed can have a huge impact on tension, sleep, and general mood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1709817412384-0D6BW0SECTS3ITXVO5VV/image-asset.jpeg blog - I like to move it, move it. - Prenatal Yoga cultivates strength, flexibility, body awareness and community all at once!

Our most private structures can be compromised after gestating and birthing, or simply aging, and also can become a repository of junk, both physical and emotional. Holding space for both gratitude and dysfunction is an important part of reconnecting with our bodies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/db0f14fe-3354-48d5-9591-83dd0c3dab25/white-sand-dollar-min.jpg blog - Give Your Belly the Love it Deserves Based on the idea of affecting the 5 Sisters: Nerves, Arteries, Veins, Energy, Lymph, Maya Abdominal Therapy brings increased blood flow and circulation to all the important structures that move through our middles like the aorta, vena cava and vagus nerve—the superhero of nerves. The longest of 12 cranial nerves, the vagus nerve is the height of a toddler, running from the brainstem to the colon! It innervates the ovaries and uterus, important organs for people preparing for or recovering from a pregnancy. The vagus nerve also affects internal organ function (swallowing, vocalization, heart rate, blood pressure), autonomic “unconscious” nervous system function (breathing, digestion), tactile skin response and possibly improving the intestinal microbiome. On the backside of the body, the sacrum is similar to a sand dollar, protecting nerves between two beautiful bony plates. https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/new-office-in-lafayette-opens-october-1st monthly 0.5 2022-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/1663278807663-U9X1Y8I902J3G6TAVMCK/prenatal-massage-lafayette-colorado.jpeg blog - New Office in Lafayette Opens October 1st! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mountainmamamassage.com/blog/new-online-calendar-spring-massage-workshop-for-expecting-couples-can-we-ask-for-a-favor monthly 0.5 2022-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8df96833bab14de3b291c5/87d56c88-7999-4968-af02-9f17388eb898/pexels-bich-tran-636243.jpg blog - New Online Calendar + Spring Massage Workshop for Expecting Couples + Can we Ask for a Favor? - *New Online Calendar * For a total spring refresh, we have a new online scheduling system!
