Heading Home with Your Newborn: New Life Birth Services Book Club
Heading Home With Your Newborn: From Birth to Reality by Dr. Laura A. Jana and Dr. Jennifer Shu is an excellent option for getting all of those little questions answered and nuanced concerns addressed. Some of the topics covered by this book include feeding (both breast and formula), bodily functions (pee, poop, spit-up…you get the gist), and day-to-day things like sleep, bathing, crying, and even clothing.
Cut, Stapled and Mended: New Life Birth Services Book Club
This book provides insight into the different ways a baby can be brought into this world. I recommend birthers read this book, especially those considering having a VBAC, or who have had a VBAC, birth partners, and anyone constantly surrounded by birth such as doulas.
Becoming Us: New Life Birth Services Book Club

Natural Hospital Birth: New Life Birth Services Book Club
Because I have so many expectant parents who have planned a hospital birth, I without hesitation recommend Natural Hospital Birth — The Best of Both Worlds by Cynthia Gabriel to them. Many of my clients have already researched their childbirth options and a hospital birth is their only choice, but they have the desire to have as much of a “natural” birth as possible. This book, chapter by chapter, advises, encourages, and educates the reader so that they are well prepared for their hospital birth experience. This is especially beneficial for first-time parents.
