This is a page for me to place resources - articles, podcasts, IG accounts, etc., that could be helpful to you.

As this is a new website, these offerings will be small at first, but soon there will be lots to look at!

The Midwives' Cauldron with and The Great Birth Rebellion

are two podcasts out of Australia that are both fun to listen to and are incredibly informative.

As you may guess by the names, they each take a fresh look at topics relating to

fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding

that challenges the "this is just the way it is done" mindset. (This just makes my inner rebel happy!)

But don't be deceived by the fun and banter - these women are incredibly well-researched (there are some PhDs in the mix) and have loads of experience.

The MotHERs Program offers a quick list of resources such as local hospitals information & tours, OBs and midwives, breastfeeding support, and drop-in groups for new parents in the following areas:

Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington County

Quinte, Hastings and Prince Edward County

Leeds, Grenville and Lanark County.

Postpartum and other early days things

What to buy for your newborn baby

"There are a huge number of baby products available, but you only need the essentials to start with."

This is a refreshing change from what can feel like an overload of "needed" stuff, especially if you are a minimalist or want to be more of a minimalist in your parenting journey. My only comment on the quantity of clothes is to have enough for a potential of several changes per day that matches your laundry capacity. If you have easy access to laundry within your home, you might not need as much as compared to if you have to go to a laundromat or the laundry room in your apartment.
