Bridging the Gap Between the Hospital and the 6‑Week Checkup
Your baby is just days old. Your body is healing. Your hormones are shifting. Sleep is fragmented. And yet, for weeks on end, there’s often no one checking in on you — no one assessing how you’re really doing, answering the questions that pop up at 2 a.m., or helping you make sense of this brand-new season.
At Choose Joy Nursing, we exist to bridge that gap.
Signs Your Baby May Have a Tongue or Lip Tie
As parents, we spend countless hours watching, feeding, and comforting our babies. You know their cues. You know when something feels a little off. If feeding has felt harder than expected, you may have heard the terms tongue tie or lip tie and wondered if they could be part of the picture.
How to Protect Your Baby’s Sleep Routine During the Holidays
The holidays are full of magic - twinkly lights, full calendars, and sweet moments with family. They can also bring a little extra unpredictability, especially when you have a baby who depends on routine to feel safe and settled. While things don’t need to be perfect, protecting your baby’s sleep as much as you reasonably can helps everyone enjoy the season a bit more. Here are a few gentle ways to support your baby’s sleep while still soaking in all the holiday joy.
How To Make Overnight Oats
They’re quick, they’re simple, and they make mornings so much easier - especially when sleep is broken into little pieces. They’re also packed with nutrients your postpartum body loves: fiber, minerals, calcium, potassium, iron, antioxidants, and protein. With just a few minutes of prep before bed, you can wake up to a ready-to-eat meal that keeps you fueled and steady through those early hours.
The Story Behind Our Choose Joy Nursing Shirts

Formula Feeding 101
There’s no one “perfect” feeding journey — there’s just your journey, and it’s beautiful. Formula feeding doesn’t make you less of a mom. It makes you a mom who’s feeding, loving, and caring for her baby in the way that works best for your family.
Why Sleep Matters
One of the most overlooked but most essential parts of postpartum life is sleep. When you become a parent, your days and nights shift in ways you never thought possible. It’s easy to put your own rest on the back burner while you pour every ounce of yourself into caring for your little one. But here’s the truth: taking care of yourself is taking care of your baby.
Affirmations for Birth and Postpartum
Motherhood is beautiful, but let’s be honest—it can also feel overwhelming. Between sleepless nights, big emotions, and all the new responsibilities, it’s easy to start doubting yourself. That’s why we’re such big believers in affirmations for our moms.
