Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, the author of The Better Period Food Solution, gives her top five foods for pregnancy to help you stay energized and healthy as you prep for birth. 

Traditionally baby registries are geared toward baby gear, but we don’t think new parents should miss out on some gifts too. There’s lot of practical items that will be life savers in those early weeks with your little one. We’ve picked some items you may want to add to your baby registry… just for you.

Gina Eichenbaum-Pikser is the founder of Community Midwifery Care, a Brooklyn-based midwifery practice serving families since 2016. She offers prenatal care, fertility and conception counseling, gynecologic care, and attends births at Mount Sinai West Hospital. Her practice is queer and gender nonconforming friendly. 

Gina offers such a special approach to her work, believing that because no two families are the same, neither should their care be. Baby Caravan has loved having her in our community for many years and we would love you to get to know her as well! 

Because there are so many great NYC doulas, you may find it hard to narrow your search. To make things easier for you we have put together a list of questions to ask both potential birth doulas and postpartum. All you have to do is print it off and schedule your interviews.

Good luck!

The difference between a doula and a midwife is something that a lot of expectant parents wonder about, and it’s something that we get asked about a lot at Baby Caravan.

Packing that hospital bag: we’ve created a list for you to make it easier. Having things organized and ready to go will help you feel more at ease when the big day arrives.
