      <image:title>Blog - Visitors Postpartum During Upper Respiratory Illness Season - The Season of Snuggles (and Sneezes)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Bringing your baby home during the colder months can be incredibly cozy — think blankets, soup, and long afternoons spent cuddling your newborn. But winter is also upper respiratory illness season, which brings a higher risk of viruses like RSV, flu, COVID-19, and colds. Here in Chico, both Enloe Health’s Mother &amp; Baby Care Center and Northern Valley Indian Health (NVIH) Better Babies emphasize the importance of protecting newborns from illness, especially in the first 12 weeks of life. As a new parent, you have every right to protect your baby — and your peace — by being thoughtful about visitors during this time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Things to Consider if You’re Due Around the Winter Holidays - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Joy (and Complexity) of a Holiday Due Date Welcoming a baby during the holiday season can be incredibly special — twinkle lights, cozy weather, and family nearby to celebrate. But for families giving birth in the Chico area, it’s also a time that comes with unique considerations. Hospitals like Enloe Health’s Mother &amp; Baby Care Center often see fluctuations in staffing and scheduling during November, December, and early January. While the care remains excellent, it’s important to plan ahead — especially when it comes to timing, provider availability, and postpartum recovery during a busy season.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Boundaries in Birthwork: Holding Space Without Losing Yourself - Those of us called to birthwork are here because we care deeply.</image:title>
      <image:caption>There’s a sacredness to birthwork that can’t really be put into words. To be invited into the intimate space where new life begins—whether through labor, loss, postpartum, or major transition—is a privilege that every doula I know takes seriously. We are often the steady voice in the room, the calm in the chaos, the shoulder to cry on, the warm hand to hold. We show up. But as doulas, we can also find ourselves showing up too much—until we’re depleted, emotionally spent, or even resentful. The line between support and self-sacrifice can blur quickly, especially in a profession built on care and presence. That’s why we need to talk about boundaries. Boundaries are not about closing ourselves off or withholding care. They are about showing up sustainably, ethically, and in full integrity with our role. They’re what allow us to hold space for others without losing ourselves in the process.</image:caption>
