Things We Love
After having four babies of our own and years of supporting families as a birth educator and doula, I’ve found some items that actually help during the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum seasons. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or growing your family, these recommendations are here to help make life a little easier.

Birth Friendly Gown
Hospital gowns aren’t known for comfort. Whether you're birthing at home or in the hospital, this gown offers both comfort and smart access: front snaps for nursing and skin-to-skin, back access for an epidural, and snap-off sleeves so you can remove it easily without disturbing IV lines.

Birth Ball
A birth ball can help you stay more comfortable during pregnancy, encourage better baby positioning, and give you options for movement and relief during labor—especially if you're planning to spend time at home. Just make sure to get the right size for your height! Not sure how to use it? Join us for a birth class!

Ladybug Milk Collector
This milk collector was so helpful while nursing—I didn’t want to waste letdown from the other side! Unlike the original Haakaa, it doesn’t actively pull milk; it just sits inside your nursing bra and collects letdown without messing with supply and demand. Bonus: it has little legs to stand on and a pour spout for easy milk storage.

Zongs
Zongs are a doula favorite!
Grab two—one for each hand—to ease back discomfort during pregnancy and practice relaxation for labor. During birth, they’re perfect for massage and counter pressure (and give your partner’s hands a break!). Not sure how to use them? Join our Comfort Measures for Birth workshop to learn more.
