Cord Blood Banking: What Parents Should Know

🩸 Cord blood is the small amount of blood left in the umbilical cord after birth.
🩸 It’s rich in hematopoietic stem cells, which can help treat certain blood, immune, and metabolic disorders.
🩸 Collection is quick, painless, and happens after the cord is cut.

Public vs Private

🩸 Public banking is free, regulated, and donations can help anyone who is a match.
🩸 Private banking is costly and generally recommended only when a family member already has a condition known to benefit from cord blood transplant.
🩸 Currently, the likelihood of a healthy child ever needing their privately banked cord blood is very low.

Important: Delayed Cord Clamping

🩸 Evidence shows delayed cord clamping (DCC) — waiting at least 60–120 seconds before clamping — increases newborn iron stores and supports smoother cardiovascular transition after birth.
🩸 The World Health Organization, ACOG, and most major medical organizations consider DCC the standard and most beneficial option for healthy births.
🩸 DCC and cord blood banking can sometimes be combined, but collection volume is reduced, so banking may not be possible. For families who want the physiologic benefits of DCC, delay is usually prioritized.

Bottom Line

🩸 Cord blood banking can be helpful in select medical situations.
🩸 For most families, public donation or delayed cord clamping offers the greatest evidence-based benefit.

Swaddling can be incredibly soothing for newborns, but safe technique matters. Research shows that proper swaddling supports infant sleep, reduces startle reflex, and keeps hips in a healthy position. It also shows that improper swaddling increases risks, especially once rolling begins.

The swaddle must come off at the very first signs of rolling. This is a key safe-sleep guideline because a swaddled baby who rolls to their stomach is at a significantly higher risk of positional asphyxia. Babies need their arms free to push up, turn their head, and protect their airway.

Early signs of rolling include:
• Increased side-lying
• Stronger arching during fussing
• Repeated attempts to twist or push off the mattress
• Rolling from tummy to side during supervised tummy time
• Using legs to “scoot” or shift their body

Swaddling is meant for the newborn stage only. It should feel snug at the arms, loose at the hips, and always be paired with safe sleep practices: baby on their back, no loose blankets, no soft objects, and frequent checks for overheating.

Evidence-based support keeps babies safe and parents confident. 🤍 Want help mastering safe swaddling or reading your baby’s cues? We’re here for you!

Epidurals are one of the most common and well-studied options for pain relief in labor, and for many families, they offer a safe way to rest, conserve energy, and stay present through the intensity of birth. Evidence shows epidurals provide effective pain reduction while allowing you to remain awake, alert, and active in decision-making.

At Well Wombn, we support epidural use wholeheartedly. You do not need to have an unmedicated birth to benefit from a doula. Our role does not end once an epidural is placed. We continue working with you — guiding position changes, opening the pelvis, supporting physiologic rotation and descent, and helping you stay informed and grounded.

Some people (anecdotally) feel more in control, calmer, or better able to cope once their pain is reduced, which can make space for emotional processing, rest, and connection.

Epidurals can come with risks such as blood pressure drops, chills, or uneven numbness, but your medical team monitors you closely and adjusts as needed. Most importantly, you will still feel pressure — not sharp pain — which helps with effective pushing.

Your birth, your choices, your support team.
And we’re with you through all of it.

Understanding baby p**p can tell you a lot about how your little one is feeding and digesting. Most color changes are completely normal, especially in the first months of life. Breastfed and formula-fed babies often have different stool colors and textures, and shifts can happen as their digestive system matures.

Colors that deserve a closer look include white/gray, red, and black, which can signal issues like digestive problems, blood, or internal bleeding. These colors should always be discussed with your pediatrician.

If you ever have questions about what’s normal, reach out to your baby’s care team. You don’t have to interpret it alone — support is always available.

You are *not* being overprotective by asking visitors not to kiss your baby.

Newborn immune systems are still developing, and even a well-intentioned kiss can spread viruses like RSV, HSV-1, or the common cold. The “no kissing babies” rule isn’t about fear, it’s about protection.

You have every right to set boundaries around physical contact, hand-washing, updated vaccines and mask use.
These gentle reminders keep your little one safe while their immunity strengthens.

If you need to, blame your doula 😉 I’ll happily be the “bad guy” so you can focus on bonding, resting, and healing.

Breastmilk comes in many colors, and most variations are completely normal 🌈 Your body is constantly adapting to your baby’s needs, and those shifts can show up in the color of your milk.

🤍🩵White, clear, or blue-tinged milk is common and often reflects normal changes in fat content.
💛 Yellow milk is expected with colostrum, certain foods, or frozen/thawed milk.
💚 Green milk can appear after eating foods or supplements with green pigments, though rarely it may signal infection.
🩷❤️ 🤎Pink, red, or brown milk can happen when small amounts of blood mix into the milk, often from cracked or damaged ni***es. This is usually harmless, but always worth checking in with a lactation professional if it continues.

Most color changes don’t affect safety, and babies tolerate them beautifully 🤱 If you’re ever unsure, I’m here to support you and help you understand what’s normal and when something may need attention. You and your baby are doing wonderfully.

🔮✨ How to Magically Flip a Breech Baby ✨🔮

When baby’s bottom is down and head is up, it doesn’t always mean a cesarean is inevitable. Sometimes your body just needs a little encouragement and alignment.

💆‍♀️ Prenatal massage with a perinatal specialist (who also happens to be a doula!) can ease muscle tension, balance the pelvis, and create the spaciousness baby needs to move into an optimal position for birth.

Other supportive practices:
🌡 Adjusting temperature and posture
🎵 Using light and sound to guide baby
💫 Acupuncture or the Webster Technique
🙅‍♀️ Avoiding deep reclining and crossing legs
👶 External Cephalic Version with your provider

Your body and baby are in constant communication. Sometimes it just takes a little magic, trust, and touch to help them find their rhythm. 🔮💜✨

🌕 Evidence-based note: External Cephalic Version (ECV) has a success rate of about 50–60% for turning a breech baby. Research shows that receiving an epidural during the procedure can increase comfort and improve success rates, allowing your muscles to fully relax while your provider gently guides baby into a head-down position.

🕯️ You know what’s really spooky? 👻

It’s not the ghosts or ghouls this season… it’s the reality of reproductive and maternal health in the U.S.

💀 8+ years for an endometriosis diagnosis
💀 50% of U.S. counties have no OB-GYNs
💀 60% of postpartum deaths are preventable
💀 Menstrual products are taxed as “luxury items”
💀 75–80% of postpartum mood disorders go untreated
💀 The leading cause of death in pregnant women is homicide

These facts should send chills down your spine. We can do better. For our bodies. For our future. For every woman. 🖤
