Barbara has been honored to work with many families over the past 20 years but Jamie and Nikki were some of her favorites.
Barbara worked with Nikki when she had the family’s first baby a few years ago. The commitment to nursing was powerful! After a few bumps, things went really well. Fast forward and it was Jamie’s turn to carry the new baby for their growing family. There were more hiccups than with the first baby but after a few months, everything settled down as it usually does.
Barbara talked with this couple to explore some of the benefits and surprises of nursing babies when you have two moms in the picture. They started out with an idea of how co-nursing might look and watched how it actually evolved.
They shared a great resource for queer families looking for some tailored birthing and postpartum support. This is a link to the classes offered currently by Liam Kali. The offerings were a little different four years ago, but we took a childbirth class and did an early parenting weekly support group. https://maiamidwifery.com/pregnancy-parenting/
