Happy National Twin Day! 👶👶
This post shares some fun facts about twins and the history behind National Twin Day, so I thought I’d share it here in celebration of all the twin families!

There’s something truly unique about caring for two tiny humans at once. It’s so special watching two little people bond and discover their new world together.

Twins bring double the love, double the milestones, and sometimes… double the exhaustion. 🤍

Happy National Twin Day! 👶🏽👶🏽
Today is the first of two National Twin Days (two babies, two National Twin Days, it makes sense lol).
The first National Twin Day of the year falls on the first day of the Twins Day Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio 👶👶 This year the festival is August 7-9.
The second National Twin Day of the year is observed annually on December 18. This second National Twin Day was proclaimed in 2019.
The Worldwide Twinning rate has gone from 9 out of 1000 to 12 out of 1000 births over the past 40 years.
There are several factors contributing to the increase in twins worldwide, including fertility-assisted reproduction and women becoming pregnant with twins spontaneously over the age of 30. Twin birth rates rise with fertility assisted reproduction and with advancing maternal age.
Are you a twin mom, or are you a twin yourself?! Do you have fraternal or identical twins?!

Every family I’ve had the privilege of supporting has inspired, and continued to shape, the vision I’m bringing to life today.
What began as overnight Postpartum Doula support for families through those tender first few months, has grown into something much bigger.

I expanded into becoming a Newborn Care Specialist, having the delightful honor of caring for countless newborns, supported many families of multiples, NICU graduates, and medically complex babies.

Along the way, I discovered how passionate I am that helping families achieve healthy, restorative sleep is just as meaningful as caring for their newborns while they rest. It felt natural to extend my support through personalized Pediatric Sleep Consulting, giving families the tools and confidence to enjoy restful nights for years to come.

As my experience grew and expanded, so did my vision: to create a place where families could receive thoughtful, trusted, personalized support through every transition of early parenthood.

It became clear that this growing vision deserved a home of its own.

So, with a full heart, may I proudly introduce you to

✨ Rest & Rise Newborn Care ✨

More than a new name, it’s also a reflection of the families I serve, the quality of care I believe in, and the future I’m building for my entire community.

Whether you’re seeking postpartum support, newborn care and education, or guidance toward more restful nights months down the road, my mission remains the same: to provide compassionate, personalized care that helps your family thrive.

Because rested families rise refreshed. 💕

Thank you to every single family who has trusted me with your babies, warmly opened your home to me, and welcomed me into your hearts. Your trust has meant more than you’ll ever know, and I’m so excited to continue this journey with both familiar, and new families in this next chapter. 🤍

If you’re expecting or shopping for your little one, Black Friday is the perfect time to stock up on essentials (and a few splurges 😉) Here are some favorites worth keeping an eye on this season:

✨ Bottle Sterilizer (MomCozy, BabyBrezza, or even a bottle drying rack are a couple examples)- Quick, convenient, and helps get bottles and pump parts FULLY dry!

✨ Plenty of double zipper bamboo and cotton footie pajamas! - Temperature controling, easy for those frequent night time diaper changes, and comfy!

✨ Frida Baby Essentials Kit – From electric nail buffers to the NoseFrida — all the practical things you’ll actually use.

✨ Skip Hop Activity Center – Keeps baby engaged while supporting development.

✨ Bottle brushes (various sizes are helpful, especially for those tiny parts!) - Regardless of which bottles, pumping parts, etc you have, they're bound to benefit from the small bottle brushes!

✨ Swaddles (Halo, Love to Dream, and various velcro options are wonderful) – Cozy, safe, and always a great deal.

Tip: Make a list before the sales start so you can snag the best deals without the overwhelm.

Happy Thanksgiving from The Wholesome Doula 🧡

Today, I'm pausing to give thanks — for the families I am blessed to serve, the babies I've welcomed, and the sacred postpartum moments I am invited into. 🌿

Gratitude runs deep for every late-night feeding, every sleepy snuggle, and every mother learning to trust her new rhythm.
This work is full of love, connection, and community — and you are a part of that. 🤍

Wishing you a day filled with warmth, nourishment, and gentle rest.
From my heart to yours — Happy Thanksgiving.

💪 Postpartum energy hack: protein!

After birth, your body needs protein to:
✨ Heal tissues
✨ Support milk production
✨ Keep your energy up

Aim to include protein at every meal or snack — eggs, beans, yogurt, nut butters, or lean meats. Your body (and baby!) will thank you.

Did you know?

Newborns spent about 50% of their time asleep in active sleep! This can look like they’re awake, but they’re really not! Signs include:

Wiggling (can look like “fighting the swaddle”)

Noises of various kinds (grunts, coo’s, fusses, even occasional cry outs!)

Waving arms or kicking legs

Turning head

Even eyes open!

If you’re unsure, and baby is not upset, wait a moment and evaluate if they’re truly awake, or if they go back to a Quiet Sleep phase.

Did you know?
✨ Women who receive doula care have a 57.5% lower chance of experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety.

That’s not just a number — it’s peace of mind, refreshed mornings, better bonding opportunities while you have an extra helping hand, and a gentler transition into motherhood. 💕

Postpartum isn’t meant to be done alone. With the right support team, nourishment, and emotional support, you can recover, rest, and truly thrive during your fourth trimester.

Because when moms are supported, families flourish.

Two heartbeats. Four tiny hands. Twice the wonder, and twice the joy.

Supporting twin families means witnessing the most beautiful kind of teamwork—parents finding their rhythm, and two babies finding their own bond.
