“Soothing Mama” Bundles: After-birth necessities for Mom
I began making Soothing Mama bundles after the birth of my son. I prepared so much throughout my pregnancy and for childbirth, but did not spend the needed time preparing for my healing postpartum. Soothing Mama Bundles are filled with natural, organic, and handcrafted items that will aid in mom’s healing; as well as other necessary items designed for mom for after the hard work of childbirth. Some Soothing Mama items include sitz baths, organic sitz bath herbal bags, organic nursing tea, Wishgarden nipple & perineal salve, squeeze bottle, witch hazel wipes, aloe & comfrey soap, relief recipes for mama, and much much more. Soothing Mama Bundles come in three sizes: the Bundle, the Mini Bundle, and the Tiny Bundle. Bundles can always be customized and designed to meet Mom’s need and desire. A woman returns from her birth journey as a Mother, and a Soothing Mama Bundle is a great way to welcome her with honor. Soothing Mama is here to make life a little bit easier for mom & her family and so orders can either be picked up or delivered.
Blessings on your birth journey. Danielle DeLuca-Mendoza

Doctor May Not Tell You About Caring for Your Baby
"…excellent book. I had to
have my highlighter at the ready the entire time I was reading it.
The references are fantastic. Thank you so much for your great work.
We quote Baby Matters at our conferences and feel it would
be helpful for the students, mostly labor and delivery nurses, to
have it available." --Carole
Peterson, MS, IBCLC of Lactation Education Consultants
"In
order to create a natural 
looking image when shooting posed images,
the photographer must possess a demeanor that allows subjects to become
relaxed and feel comfortable."
You
can schedule to meet her at a location of your choice.
La Jolla beaches and Balboa Park are two favorites. The length of your
shoot depends upon the location and the number of subjects being photographed
but is usually about and an hour. In addition to professional quality
prints of your choosing, you will receive all of the images on a CD
to share photos easily and preserve them forever.
