Hey! Eleanor here. As Emily’s summer intern at Well Wombn, I’ve been learning the ins and outs of labor, birth, and doula support. One of the first things I got to explore was her birth bag, filled with essentials that help keep birthing people supported, soothed, and as comfortable as possible.

From straws for easy hydration to honey sticks for quick energy, cooling fans, heat packs, and tools like the TENS unit and rebozo scarf, each item serves a purpose in easing intensity and offering relief.

Some of these tools are linked in the Well Wombn Amazon list if you’re curious to explore.

☀️ Emily’s Essentials: Heat & Hydration 💧

Pregnant, postpartum, or parenting in the summer? These are my must-haves for staying cool, supported, and well-hydrated, because temperature regulation and hydration are key to energy, milk supply, and comfort.

🧊 Cooling packs for tired, swollen spots
🍼 Mesh feeders for breastmilk popsicles (a teething favorite!)
🎐 Rechargeable fans + stroller fans to keep air flowing
💦 Pique + Buoy electrolytes to replenish and hydrate at a cellular level
🧃 Owala + Stanley cups for ice-cold hydration all day
🧳 Insulated diaper bag for bottles, snacks, and sanity
👒 A soft, wide-brimmed sun hat to protect baby’s delicate skin

✨ Everything is linked in the Well Wombn Amazon List for easy browsing and support.

Did you know? Certain medications like SSRIs can impair the body’s ability to regulate temperature and may make you more sensitive to heat. Staying hydrated and using cooling tools can be especially important if you’re taking one.

Hydration is essential during pregnancy, and your daily water needs increase significantly to support your growing baby and changing body. Aim for 10 to 12 cups of water daily while pregnant and up to 16 cups while lactating.

Try adding electrolyte boosters like or (or natures Gatorade — coconut water ) and don’t forget hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and lettuce. These foods are over 90 percent water!

Staying hydrated helps regulate body temperature, supports amniotic fluid levels, and prevents fatigue, headaches, and dizziness.

Listen to your body, sip often, and know that every glass helps build the environment your baby is growing in. 💧👶🏼✨

Hi, I’m Eleanor, summer intern here at Well Wombn Inc! I’m a certified CPR instructor with big goals of becoming a doctor to support women, children, infants, and underserved communities. I’ve recently completed my first Postpartum Doula Training with BEST, and am now a certified postpartum doula, following in Emily’s footsteps.

Throughout the summer months I will be researching a plethora of topics pertaining to the perinatal stages, creating evidence based content for expecting parents, and operating as the administrative assistant (if we’ve already interacted by email or text, hi again!).

Looking forward to engaging with the Well Wombn community this summer!

✨Lactation & Medication: What’s Safe to Take?✨

If you’re nursing and wondering whether your medication is safe, you’re not alone. The good news? Many commonly prescribed medications are compatible with breastfeeding — even ones that might surprise you.

This list highlights medications often considered safe during lactation, including:

💊 Select antidepressants like Zoloft, Lexapro, and Wellbutrin
💊 Common antibiotics such as Amoxicillin, Cephalexin, and Azithromycin
💊 Migraine meds like Sumatriptan (Imitrex)
💊 ADHD meds including Ritalin (Methylphenidate)
💊 Anti-anxiety meds like Buspar
💊 Anti-fungals like Fluconazole (Diflucan)
💊 Chronic condition meds such as Semaglutide, Metformin, Levothyroxine, and even some biologics (like Enbrel or Humira)

Each person’s body, baby, and context are different — so always check with a lactation-informed provider or use tools like LactMed or InfantRisk to get evidence-based insight.

🤍 You deserve mental health support and chronic illness management while breastfeeding — and you don’t have to wean to feel well. 🍼 Reminder: Many meds have little to no transfer into breastmilk, and we don’t need to wean unnecessarily. Evidence-based care = empowered parenting. ✨

*Semaglutide is a newer medication and studies are still emerging. Clinical guidance generally leans toward caution or avoiding use unless the benefit clearly outweighs the risk.

Whether you’re building a stash or navigating day-to-day feeds, safe milk storage makes all the difference. 🍼✨
Here’s your quick-reference guide for storing human breastmilk—because every precious drop counts.

💧 Room Temp: 4–6 hours
❄️ Fridge: 4–6 days
🧊 Freezer: 4–6 months
🌬️ Deep Freezer: 6–12 months

Remember:
💼 Always label with the date expressed
🧊 Use insulated coolers for transport
🚪 Avoid storing in the fridge door (temp swings!)

For more feeding support—from pumping plans to latch tips—I’ve got you. 💛

Choking first aid looks different for pregnant people.
⁣
In late pregnancy, abdominal thrusts are contraindicated and can cause harm. Instead, perform chest thrusts (same location as CPR compressions), alternating with back blows.⁣
⁣
If the individual becomes unresponsive, begin CPR immediately with compressions placed slightly higher and with their body tilted gently to the left.⁣
⁣
These are important life-saving adjustments for doulas, birth workers, bodyworkers, and anyone supporting pregnant people.⁣

Let’s talk about the myth of pumping and dumping. It’s time to let go of outdated advice—especially when it comes to alcohol. Evidence shows that moderate alcohol consumption does not require you to discard your breastmilk. Alcohol leaves your milk just like it leaves your bloodstream—over time. If you’re sober enough to safely hold and care for your baby, your milk is safe too. I like to think about alcohol in breastmilk like a shot of liquor in an Olympic size swimming pool. A swimmer is not getting intoxicated from that, and neither will your baby. ✨

Pumping and dumping can be useful in specific cases—like medication use, breast discomfort, or oversupply—but not as a default response to a glass of wine.

Let’s replace fear with facts and support with science.
