We are praying for the people in WNC and doing what we can to help. The devastation of Hurricane Helena has weighed heavy on our hearts.

💙 Together for a Stronger Tomorrow 💙

Hurricane Helene left devastation, but YOU can help make a difference. Watch WRAL all day tomorrow and call in to donate. All funds support critical recovery and rebuilding.

🌟 Be a hero for your community. 🌟

(Morning sun helps too...)

Did you know that babies need exposure to sunlight in the daytime hours to help regulate their circadian rhythms?

After 3 months of age, babies start to develop their own melatonin cycles and need light to help them distinguish the rhythms of the day and night.

Then when darkness (or your artificially darkened rooms simulating darkness at this time of year) hits, babies will be ready for a longer stretch of sleep induced by the melatonin release.

How can you help? Lots of light during the day, particularly sunlight in the afternoons, can help your baby regulate the sleep patterns of night sleep that parents so desperately want for their own brain function.

Postpartum is a rollercoaster. It’s a time of such intensity, where new moms often find ourselves stretched to our absolute limits.

We welcome excited friends and relatives to our homes (or even to the hospital or birthing center) to meet our new little humans, and most often, they come bearing gifts: soft toys, a beautiful blanket, a onesie.

Bringing a onesie is the norm, right? A social standard, an expectation.

And it’s lovely and sweet and kind of course, and baby looks a dream in that pastel hue.

But...what if postpartum care was just as common? What if truly supporting mom through those early days was just as normal and socially expected?

What if meals were made and toilets cleaned?

What if siblings were doted on and pets walked?

What if birth stories were asked about and listened to in full?

What if laundry was folded while mom napped with baby?

Because emotional support and practical help for new mothers really should be an absolute cornerstone of society. It’s really just common sense to support moms in supporting their babies. 💓

With love,
Louise 💓
