This week a new friend of mine, Melanie Bowden, has started her own story at: http://Motherhood.BookLocker.com Author of "Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me? True Stories of New Motherhood" She is also a certified postpartum doula, and mother... :)
Melanie has written what I believe we all wish we could share with our new families.
I hope you take a moment and stop by...

Confident Parents = Happy Babies!
Happy 2007!
Please forgive me for being gone so long. Life's simple things got the best of me!
We had a wonderful Christmas season with family and friends which kept us busy the past few weeks. It was nice to catch up with everyone and we enjoyed all the Christmas carol Sing-Alongs by the piano. Finally we have babies again! It's been over 10 years since we've had little ones around...
A special Thank You to Thousand Hills Coffee! I gave a bag to each of our family and friends and they were thrilled to get such fantastic tasting coffee and honored to be a part of supporting the girls school.
As I've mentioned in an earlier post, one of the things I do as a postpartum doula is to show parents how to read their babies. I so enjoy observing these little guys. I think they are a lot smarter then we know! So, with that thought in mind I've ordered the "Dunstan Baby Language" dvd. I'm so excited about it as I was already aware of some of the cries and what they meant, I was just not sure why I knew it!
So between Happiest Baby and Dunstan Baby we should have some very happy babies and confident parents!
I truly hope to bring parents an understanding of their babies. To be able to replace the uncertainty they feel with understanding and connection with their little ones will be beautiful.
I believe our new parents know how to care for and what their babies need, sometimes they just need a little coaching to believe in themselves...
