There are so many things recommended when you are prepping for baby. Buy this boob thing, this crib, this rocker, this breast pump. No not that one, this one! And with all the money spent on different things, what are some items that are just not worth the hype? This week Eleanor and Alex discuss the items their clients swear were wastes of money.
Shout out to the bump squad for their votes this week!

We may be a little biased, but doula work is critical to changing the way people experience birth and new parenthood. Aspiring doulas reach out to us often asking how to get started and the answer is........it depends! In this episode of a 3 part series, Eleanor and Alex discuss things to consider before you make the leap into birthwork. There is so much more to this work than holding babies and squeezing hips!
Next episode we'll cover mental health as it pertains to birthwork so please send us any questions you may have to [email protected]
