Give Me My Baby!
In this episode, Carolyn welcomes back April Kline, founder of Birth With Spirit Doulas, to talk about what happens after your baby is born and how to advocate for this precious being! Research, educate, and use your resources to make the best decisions for your baby. They discuss cord cutting, Lotus birth, the baby crawl, baby interventions, and first time breast feeding choices.
"You never have to do anything. We've got to drive that point home. All of these things are your choice. Now, some of them are going to be hills to die on, so you want to weigh those things carefully. What's the most important thing to you?"
