Bloom Doula provides labor support to mothers and their families—helping to create beautiful, positive birthing experiences. Dana L. Why use a Doula?

Dow is a certified birth doula through DONA International and has been serving families for 3 years. A Birth Doula:
• Recognizes birth as a key experience the mother will remember all her life
• Understands the physiology of birth and the emotional needs of a woman in labor
• Assists the woman in preparing for and carrying out her plans for birth
• Stays with the woman throughout the labor
• Provi

des emotional support, physical comfort measures and an objective viewpoint, as well as helping the woman get the information she needs to make informed decision
• Facilitates communication between the laboring woman, her partner and her clinical care providers
• Allows the woman’s partner to participate at his/her comfort level

Studies have shown that when doulas attend a birth, labors are shorter with fewer complications, babies are healthier, and they breastfeed more easily. Numerous clinical studies have found that a doula’s presence at birth:
• Tends to result in shorter labors with fewer complications
• Reduces negative feelings about one’s childbirth experience
• Reduces the need for pitocin (a labor-inducing drug), forceps or vacuum extraction and cesareans
• Reduces the mother’s request for pain medication and/or epidurals

http://m.naturalnews.com/news/041065_home_births_midwives_childbirth.html

By Michael Ravensthorpe(NaturalNews) A century ago, home births were the norm in the United States. Women would give birth to their babies in a comforting, familiar setting under the personal care of midwives. Fast forward to 1969, however, and 99 percent of all US mothers - having been exposed to p…

Awesome store window display from Modern Natural Baby! If this is not reason enough to give cloth diapers a try then I don't know what is?

Our planet simply cannot take this abuse for much longer. :(

ETA: Everyone can disposable diaper their child for various amounts of $$. What's most eye opening to ME is the amount of waste when you compare the two.

Seeding baby's microbiome will be common terminology soon. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/toni-harman/microbirth-babys-mircobiome_b_4947959.html

The latest scientific research is now starting to indicate that if the baby is not properly seeded with the mother's own bacteria at birth, then the baby's microbiome, in the words of Rodney R Dietert, Professor of Immunotoxicology at Cornell University, is left "incomplete". Consequently, that baby…
