This is the guide I've been waiting for! I am so happy to have a Lamaze book to use in my classes that is beautiful and updated. Thank you Plumtree!
I was impressed with the quality and completeness of the materials. It's been so useful in helping me put together my lesson plans with clarity about what needs to be presented. I know I'll use this package frequently.
My students enjoyed the book, it was thorough and the photos were helpful. I would have liked a few things in addition, but supplied my own handouts for those.
I actually love the content. However, I took off a star due to delay in delivery
Hi there! We're so glad to hear that you love the content of our Preparing for Birth Book. We apologize for the delay in delivery that you experienced. Thank you for your feedback and support!
While the content is very factual and evidence based, I thought the Lamaze 6 practices could have been in bold type when in context, and the benefits of natural oxytocin and holistic practices could have been given better support.
Maybe a birth story about a stable laboring person being monitored by doppler can listen to and move intuitively. A laboring person on EFM tends not to move because the monitor needs to be readjusted so she listens for baby's heartbeat and forgoes the comfort of intuitive movement for comfort.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found the content factual and evidence-based.
The Lamaze 6 Healthy Birth Practices are highlighted within the book and can be found by looking for the Lamaze dot logo throughout the text, though we appreciate your suggestion about making them stand out even more. We also appreciate your thoughts on providing additional support for the benefits of natural oxytocin and holistic practices, as well as including examples. These are helpful ideas for future updates and resources to make the book even more practical and relatable.
Thank you again for your insights—they are very valuable to us as we continue to improve our materials for families and educators.
I love this booklet for my first time parents… lots of info but better yet lots of pictures to help them with their new baby. I’m a birth doula and give this to all my clients.
This guide is great for moms and educators, it’s lay out perfect
We received the customized publications, and are very pleased with the result. We appreciate Plumtree's customization support and timeliness.
Our clients love our custom packets so much. We provide them at intake appointments and they think theyre they’re the coolest thing ever. And they are! The books are incredible
Sturdy wonderfully illustrated handouts to inform and prompt discussion on Pregnancy topics.
I love this book for my Birthing from Within childbirth preparation clients. Childbirth books are often more like text books, full of so much information that it's overwhelming. The Plum Tree Preparing for Baby book is concise, honest, and informative, and it's short enough that parents can actually read and digest the information. It's also beautifully put together.
It really does cover the basics and includes practical information that can facilitate labor and birth and help parents make informed choices. It presents information on breastfeeding but not breastmilk alternatives, so parents planning not to breastfeed (of course along with other special cases) would need supplemental information.
This is the second time I’ve purchased the Settling in with Baby booklets and I intend to purchase many more in the future. As a postpartum doula I find this to be a thorough, yet concise, view into what to expect after a baby is born. It touches on numerous topics in an easy to digest way, so as not to make it overwhelming for families already taking in a lot of information during pregnancy!
I usually don't like paying for shipping, but this is the only place I can get quality education for my class.
We've had a great experience working with the Plumtree team. They were always willing to hop on a call to answer questions and went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with our order. The custom branding turned out so nice and they were able to easily work within the branding guidelines of our organization. The book is easy to use, has a good variety of images and the education is comprehensive. So far our patient feedback has been positive as well. Highly recommend!
I love all the pictures … answers so many questions FTMs have
I spent a long time looking for a book that would complement my education classes and workshops. This book has all of the research with no fluff. It's so handy and my clients love using it as an additional resource. It is also the perfect combo of information and visuals with the pictures. It is a beautiful book. Thank you PlumTree Baby!!
Thank you, Plumtree Baby, for the beautiful and quality rich Preparing for Birth and Breastfeeding booklets. We had a pretty sizable order and everything arrived on time. We are so elated for the L.A. County families who will be receiving this in their educational packets. Thank you for making the ordering process so seamless right up to delivery!
I have been ordering books with Plumtree Baby for almost as long as they have in business. Their books are great, full of evidence based information, beautiful visuals and they get updated regularly. For 2025 I decided to take advantage and get the books custom branded. I offset the cost by offering the last page to local providers for advertising. This was an idea given to me by Plumtree Baby and is a win win for everyone.
I am not good at graphics at all. So I talked with Julie about what I liked from their samples and guide, submitted my graphics via email because that's easy and they put it all together to make a beautiful custom branded book. It was so easy and smooth and the result is amazing. I'm really looking forward to my next class and use these books.
These pamphlets are so beautiful! The paper quality is outstanding and the information is perfectly clear and concise! I am so proud to be able to provide these to our clients and having them branded with our clinic's information is just the icing on the cake! I love these!
I love all of the plumtree materials. I use them for all of my classes!
I just revamped all of my childbirth education materials in Spanish and highly recommend Plumtree Baby! Their material is fantastic.
Unfortunately, it came later than I had hoped so I haven't used it just yet. Looking forward to using it at my next class
We're sorry that shipping to Canada took a bit longer than you expected. We hope your poster is a helpful tool in your classes!
As a new Maternity nurse, this is one of the resources I feel will be most beneficial in providing support to expecting parents! Easy to understand and well organized!
