🤱The importance of skin-to-skin after birth

That first hour after delivery, often called the golden hour, is one of the most powerful times for bonding. Placing your baby directly on your chest helps regulate their body temperature, heart rate, and breathing. It also encourages bonding, stabilizes blood sugar, and promotes early breastfeeding success.

For mothers, skin-to-skin can reduce stress, increase oxytocin (the “love hormone”), and support recovery. And when dads or partners practice skin-to-skin, it strengthens their bond with baby, comforts the newborn, and gives mom time to rest and recover.

Skin-to-skin isn’t just a moment, it’s a gift of connection that sets the tone for your baby’s first chapter.

There’s something about those final hours in the delivery room that feels like a blur and slow motion all at once. The nerves, the excitement, the exhaustion. You’ve made it to the moment you’ve been thinking about for months. You’re about to meet your baby.

In between contractions and check-ins, there’s this small task that feels surprisingly big: writing down their name. Seeing it on paper for the first time. Not just an idea, not just something you talked about, it suddenly feels real. This is their name. The one they’ll carry through life.

It’s a mix of emotions, overwhelming, a little surreal, and completely unforgettable. You’ve waited, planned, hoped, and now here you are… about to start the next chapter.

There’s a strength in NICU babies and their parents that’s hard to put into words. It’s not loud. It’s not dramatic. It’s quiet and steady, the kind that gets up every day to face machines, monitors, and the unknown, without guarantees.

These babies fight hard for every breath, every ounce, every milestone that most never have to think twice about. And their parents? They carry so much, hope, fear, love, exhaustion, all at once, with nothing to do but wait, hope, and show up again tomorrow.

It’s one of the hardest places to be, and yet, somehow, it’s full of the fiercest kind of love.

Birth advice from someone who’s had the honor of witnessing so many powerful, beautiful beginnings:
Your body was made for this, trust it!
Surround yourself with people who remind you of your strength, even when things feel hard.
You don’t need to be loud to be powerful. Calm is just as fierce.
Whether your birth is fast, slow, loud, quiet, medicated or unmedicated, it’s still yours.
And that matters more than anything.

Your birth story deserves to be seen, heard, and remembered. 🤍

Why maternity photos matter more than you realize 🤌

This season of life is fleeting — full of transformation, anticipation, and quiet strength. Maternity photos aren’t just about documenting a bump. They’re about honoring the beauty of your body, the miracle of motherhood, and the chapter before everything changes.

You won’t always remember exactly how it felt to carry your baby — but you will have these images to look back on. To show your child one day. To remind yourself just how powerful and radiant you truly are.

Whether it’s your first or your fourth, this moment deserves to be seen, felt, and preserved.

This robe can also be used in any of my maternity packages 🫶
