How to play with a newborn (0-3 month old)

I cannot begin to tell you the amount of times I have heard “They are just babies! They eat, sleep and poop“. This phrase is used all too often and makes me feel as though some people see babies more as objects than as a human who is growing and developing cognitive function on a…

It is difficult to put into words just how special Natalya is – as a person and as a doula!

Natalya started with us and our twin boys on our second night home from the hospital and stayed with us right through until they were 5 months old. Natalya is an extremely warm and kind person and has such a special way with babies and has a particularly skilled way of working with twins. From the moment we met her, she instilled confidence in us that our boys would be in very capable and attentive hands overnight so that we could rest well. She always listened attentively to our boys’ cues and came to understand their patterns intimately, helping to educate us as well. As a new mom, I learned so much from Natalya and would look forward to our nightly conversations and little teaching sessions on various baby topics such as how to bathe a newborn, baby wearing, how to dress baby appropriately for weather, and so many other topics. If you have the chance to work with Natalya, and certainly if you have twins, consider yourself very fortunate. She will always hold a very special place in our hearts and we will miss her dearly.

Best,

Caitlin

lucas1 When Mike and I found out we were pregnant, we were so excited and wanted only the best for our unborn child. We chose the midwife route because we wanted the freedom of choice and the intimate care we could only get from midwifery.
I realized through my journey I was missing something and when my naturopath educated as to what a Doula is and how they can make your birth experience much more relaxing; I knew this is what I was missing. Natalya came into my life 2 years earlier on the professional side; so, when I found out she became a Doula, it was like Fate wanted us to meet. We had 2 prenatal sessions with Natalya. She was so warm and inviting and provided Mike and I with a lot of knowledge during our first session. She had answers to every question and gave us a few sources to watch. By our second visit, she helped us through various options for our pre-labour and it we had a lot of fun..

On the big day, she literally had to drop everything to be at our side. She was so caring and amazing every step of the way. Her support was unconditional and it felt like we had an additional family member at our birth. Natalya also came for a post-natal follow up and was happy to help anyway she could. She has become so special to our family and we are forever grateful to Lucas’s Doula!!
We can’t wait to share our next child’s experience with her and I would encourage you to consider Natalya for your birth experience.

Love Always Mike, Karen and Lucas
