You’re having twins… again?! - with Leila from Village For Mama, post partum doula and mum of 5 kids (2 sets of twins)

Last time we spoke to Leila from Village for Mama, she surprised us with a pregnancy announcement… little did she know that it would be her second set of twins! Today, she dives into life with 5 kids, pregnancy, birth, a supported postpartum and juggling multiple multiples! We chat about…

• The different decision making process for round 2
• Finding and selecting a live in au pair 
• The beauty of a larger age gap between siblings
• Guilt around your relationship with your older children when a new baby is born
• Leila’s birth story with the second set of twins… in two states… on Christmas Day! 
• The importance of temperament 
• What Leila set up to help support her going into a slow postpartum with 5 kids

• Her idea to create a village and helping hand for those who needed it
• Is Leila’s family complete?
