I wanted to take this time to wish all the families who welcomed new babies this year a very Merry First Christmas! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season with your new babies.

My breast feeding course is almost complete (exam this week) and after that it’s clear on till Christmas. One thing that my family is doing is taking our first family vacation!! We are taking the kids to Disneyland!!! It is my first time and their first trip too, so it should be such a magical time! And as such, I will be away for the week of December 12. If you email or call me during this time, I will get back to you after December 18, sorry for any inconvenience.

As this time of year is full of cheer, lights, and festive air, please also remember to give back to your community. If you have old coats, scarves, gloves, hats, or if you can lend a hand at a Christmas meal. You can purchase a toy for a child in need, or donate food to the food bank. Please think of those who are less fortunate at this time of year and help them out too.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me this year, and I look forward to hopefully helping many families in the future as a certified birth doula and a breastfeeding educator.

Merry Christmas to all of the families that I have had the pleasure of helping this year! Have a fabulous holiday time with your babies!

Melissa
