We think every mom-to-be deserves to have her very own doula by her side to be a mainstay of support and comfort during labor and delivery. And we couldn't help but chuckle at this sweet felt doula play set, which would make the perfect older sibling gift to help big brothers and sisters understand and get in on the action of some of the things a doula has handy to help mom bring baby into the world.
Included in the set: a green fan to keep mom cool during labor, a cranberry oatmeal granola bar with a removable wrapper to help mom keep her energy level up, a purple rice tube filled with real rice (but note, it’s just for play, and may not really be heated in the microwave), a bottle of lavender essential oil with a removable cap and two starlight peppermints to alleviate mom’s nausea and to keep her doula’s breath in check. If you have a little doula in training in your home, encourage her with this savvy alternative to the “doctor’s kit!”
