This placenta is so beautiful. I always say women are magical, but this brilliant organ really drives it home. We have been blessed with so many placenta clients this summer, including one that we had to fight hospital policy to get released. Why would anyone consider this gorgeous creature medical waste? What are you doing with your placenta? repost from @evarosebirth The beautiful tree of life #delayedcordclamping #placenta #empoweredbirthproject #empoweringwomen #stopcensoringmotherhood #birthwithoutfear #stopcensoringbirth #birthphotography #birth #birthphotographer #placentaencapsulation #helloworld #placentapills #birthisbeautiful #birthisamazing #oxytocin (at Wise Birth Choices Doula Services)

Today the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, we celebrate the first day of summer, and we have the most daylight hours of the year (15 hours, give or take a second, in NJ) Midsummer is celebrated in many cultures with different festivals and gatherings. In ancient China the solstice was observed by honoring the Earth, femininity and ‘yin’ energy. Ancient Gaul, Slav and Celtic tribes would light bonfires and celebrate the fertility of the season. —————————————————————————The Women of Wise Birth Choices like to take time to pause & reflect on all of the families we have had the pleasure of serving so far this year. We appreciate all of the hard work many have put into their fertility, the strength they have shown through their pregnancy, and the beautiful moments during their birth as a family gets to add another generation to their lineage. 💛 🧡 ❤️ We are honored to have worked with each and every family who trusted us to be a part of their birth team. Thank you!!!! It has been a wonderful first half of the year and we are eagerly anticipating the births that the second half has in store for us!!! ☀️ 🔥 🌞#summersolstice #midsummer #grateful #womensupportingwomen #thankyou #njdoulas #njdoula (at Manasquan Inlet - Squan Side)

Get relief from the unnecessary discomfort AND give baby the room they need to get into the best birth position! repost@absolutechiropracticnj COMFORT. That word seems almost foreign to many moms. But it doesn't have to be. It's time to remove fear from birth. (at Absolute Chiropractic - 732.945.5033)

Babies have the natural instinct to seek out and latch to the breast. This is a brilliant example. #breastcrawl #wisdomwednesday #wisebirthchoices #njdoulas

For #WisdomWednesday we bring you this alternative feeding method. Did you know that breastfeeding could look like this?!?!? This method is typically used when babies are having difficulty breastfeeding due to prematurity, tongue tie or other atypical circumstances. You need to hold your baby in an upright position and gently syringe no more than 0.2 millilitres into your baby's mouth at a time. Feed the milk in between their gum & cheek or onto their tongue. Allow your baby to swallow before giving them another 0.2 millilitres and continue to do this until the feed has ended. If you are experiencing issues with breastfeeding please reach out to a qualified Lactation Consultant or an IBCLC. They can help you with direct feeding and if that is still an issue they can assist with alternative feeding methods such as this!!!! You are not alone! Find your village and reach out for help. 💪🥛⭐️ #normalizebreastfeeding #breastfeedingsupport #respectfulmaternitycare #njdoulas (at Wise Birth Choices Doula Services)
