Check Out Hamilton Doula’s Library

Did you know that Hamilton Doula has a lending library?

As part of their services, all clients have access to the Hamilton Doula lending library.  Don’t spend a lot of your hard earned money on pregnancy and birth related books that you’ll only use for a few months; take advantage of Hamilton Doula’s superior service.

Available are books on maternity culture, pregnancy, vegetarian pregnancy, pregnancy loss, birth preparation, the spirituality of birth, birth preparation for partners, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, yoga for pregnancy and for toddlers, infant massage and new parenting guidance. There are a few DVDs on yoga, The Business Of Being Born, circumcision and newborn self-attachment.

If you would like to peruse the library, it can be found listed online at Library Thing.
