🎁 Day 5:Planning to pump? Start here.
|
It is Day 5 and today’s gift is a good one Reader! Something I hear all the time from my doula clients is: If you’re planning to pump so your partner (or someone else) can help with feeding, you are definitely not alone. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎁 YOUR DAY 5 GIFT: This checklist gives you a week-by-week breakdown so you can prepare before the baby arrives, without being overwhelmed. 👉 So CLICK HERE to grab the Pumping Checklist 🎁 🤔 NEWBORN NUGGET “When should I start pumping?” This is a question almost every doula client asks. If breastfeeding is going smoothly you can wait until the baby is 3-4 weeks old but be sure to start by that one month mark. 🙌🏼 ONE SMALL THING TO DO TODAY Reach out to your insurance company and ask whether a breast pump is covered. When you call say something like: " What lactation benefits do I have? Do my benefits cover a breast pump?" Most plans in the US cover a pump, but some require a prescription from your OB. 🎁 If you're just joining the Baby Prep Advent you can get the previous days' free gifts HERE. xoxo, Valerie Trumbower, PCD(DONA), CLC Certified Postpartum Doula, Certified Lactation Counselor P.S. Newborn sleep and feeding are closely connected, when one isn’t going well the other usually isn’t either.

It's Day 6 of your Baby Prep Advent 🎄 Getting the nursery ready is one of the most exciting parts of baby prep for so many of my doula clients. But when it comes to baby clothes, almost everyone asks the same thing: “How many onesies do I actually need? What about sleepers?” It can be hard to know what’s essential and what’s just “nice to have,” so today’s gift will make that part easy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎁 YOUR DAY 6 GIFT: Baby...
