Infant Feeding for EDS Parents

I have begun my rewrite of my Doula’s Guide to Pregnancy, Birth, Postpartum and Infant Feeding. The original document began in 2017 and has been through more editions than I have kept track of. My new editions are each a separate document, Infant Feeding is first because I had a lot of clients that needed that document quickly at the time when I finished it up last summer.

Why is Infant Feeding such a hot topic? It has so many factors that can be affected by EDS, POTS and MCAS issues, like skin fragility, sensory issues, gastrointestinal issues, allergies, joint instability, just to name a few.

This document is image heavy because I have provided so many pictures of the way positioning you, and your infant’s, body when feeding an infant can protect EDS joints. CLICK HERE DOWNLOAD THE MOST RECENT EDITION
