Sweet Tree Doula, Kristina E. Gallant

Exceptional expecting families I know! 😍 One of my favorite lady photographers and stellar friend, Justine (quoted below) is hoping to do some photo shoots this year! 💖💗😍 I give her the highest of recommends, as usual! Please note that you saw this through me!
"I'd love to do a few (free!) maternity shoots this year for willing volunteers! Both just the mamas-to-be and couples. If you're pregnant and interested in a shoot, let me know! The ideal time to do a shoot is around 7-8 months pregnant, and I'll only be able to do weekdays most likely. MESSAGE ME!

Important and empowering reminder. Seek help, don't frustrate yourself with worry. Keep the mantra "all is stellar!" in your pocket while you seek advice and assistance from well educated folks on the matter. This goes for everything, not just low supply. Xo, you have this!

Low Milk Supply 101 Forgive me for asking but... Do you REALLY have low milk supply? This is a very important place to start. Please bear with me. I don’t mean to doubt your situation and be annoying patronising...

This needs to be expressed the world through, splendiferous sir. So many weaving of beautiful wee ones that we all honestly can have a hand in shaping, just by being rad to others and teaching them balance through and through!
Yet another reason why you're so heavily on my radar in my role of doula. Besides the awesome that you aimed in my life as a kid of mixed background - your words are so very powerful!

Ok, this isn't usually my thing, but... someone please give me the excuse to order this set so that I can use it in a session!!

Splendid birthday wishes to a sweet young sir on his first birthday! As you continue to grow and explore, may your adventures be filled with everlasting and intriguing paths to fun and knowledge! Xo, Kristina (your doula

Pssst! Guess who is officially accepting doula clients for Fall of 2013 and beyond! (Hint: Sweet Tree Doula, Kristina E. Gallant - ok, I guess I gave it away, haha!) Please hand this off to the rad mamas/families you know!
As a doula I provide assistance to women and their loved ones in all shapes and forms as they journey to be informed about and give birth. In addition to these services I am available to: give foot massages, help prepare spaces, babysit, night sit, set up a "meal train", and many other useful services to elevate stress as the new family bonds with the sweet additions. Primarily serving in Southern Maine but certainly more than willing to travel!

Please, please, watch this. Send it to your family, your friends, strangers. Get the word out that breastfeeding is not sexual, instead it is necessary to the healthiest babies. It is there for healing, development, and emotional well being for babies and mamas alike.

Why Finnish babies moslty sleep in cardboard boxes For 75 years, Finland's expectant mothers have been given a box by the state. It's like a starter kit of clothes, sheets and toys that can even be used as a bed. And some say it helped Finland achi...

Calling all mamas, birth workers, and those in love with all splendid baby things!

Do you cloth diaper or know someone who does?

Rump•a•rooz Cloth Diapers: How to Ruin a Cloth Diaper I use my sanitize cycle all the time with no problems! In fact it is the only way i have found to get my diapers clean with my HE washer and very hard water. Maybe the water temp varies by machine, but I wash prefolds, flats, microfiber, bamboo, TPU and PUL this way and my covers, pockets and wetbag...

Who is your favorite musican for kiddos? Please share!
Koo Koo Kangaroo is one of my favorites! I saw them at a ska show a few years ago and they certainly got the whole crowd moving and shaking! Have some fun with the rad people in your life today. Kids and adults could both use some boogie music in their lives!
