The human placenta is an amazing organ.
Its genetic code is actually written by the Fathers DNA!
It helps sustain life to your baby for 40 + weeks.
​It has 1 vein and two arteries.
Every minute, 20% of the maternal blood supply passes through the placenta!
Those are just SOME amazing facts about the placenta!

Some families are choosing Placenta Encapsulation (we'll talk more about that in another blog post), and along with that, Placanta Art. Placenta Art honors the beauty of this amazing organ and provides parents with a very unique keepsake. Parents may keep the prints and/or photos in a scrap book, or hang them in their child's nursery.
I feel the placenta is such a fascinating organ and really enjoy providing my clients with the finished products.

Breastfeeding and pumping moms are raving about this new accessory - the Haakaa Silicone Breastpump!
So simple, and convenient - this tiny pump packs a lot of punch. Moms have been using it one one side, while the feed their baby on the other, or using it after the first mornings feed to get more comfortable if they're still feeling full. There is no motor, no moving parts - it works by you creating a suction on the breast with the device and negative pressure is what drains the milk out. I was sent a sample to try out and I'm giving it two thumbs up!! It was really easy to clean, too!
As soon as our shipment is here, we will have it for sale! Stay up to date by "liking" our Facebook Page!

August is National Breastfeeding Month, with the first week designated as World Breastfeeding Week. During WBW, Big Latch Ons are held at registered locations around the world. The first Big Latch On had 2 participating countries ... in 2015 there were 28! The Big Latch on is an advocacy event focusing on peer support and community development, aiming to strengthen overall support for breastfeeding and to improve the health of children and women globally.

This year on August 5th, I had the opportunity to host a local Big Latch On at the Water Street Park in Hellertown, PA. Our sponsor was Children's HealthCare/The Lehigh Valley Breastfeeding Center. They are an amazing group of pediatricians, lactation consultants, and other practitioners located in Allentown, PA.
Jodi Chandler Photography generously donated her time to photograph the Big Latch On - checkout the slideshow below for some photos!
The morning of the event we had over 100 registered participants! Our youngest participant was 8 days old, and our oldest was 35.5 months!
