We know how exhilarating and also exhausting having a brand new baby can be!
Our Postpartum Doulas and Newborn Care Specialists are by your side to help you transition in the weeks and months after your baby’s birth. We provide education, newborn care and compassionate support to help empower you to become confident and well-rested parents.
If you know us, you know that we are big on sleep and we believe that sleep is vital for an optimal recovery from birth, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Sufficient rest and space for recovery will allow you the energy and stamina you need to nurture your baby to the fullest and be present to enjoy the days bonding with your baby, maintain a healthy relationship with your partner and transform your postpartum experience as a new family.
Daytime Postpartum Care
Your daytime Postpartum Doula provides invaluable support during the days, weeks and months following the birth of a baby.
With a focus on daytime hours (typically 9am-6pm), our experienced professional daytime doulas offer a wide range of services tailored to meet your families unique needs.
Our primary goal is to nurture and empower you as you navigate the early days of parenthood. Your doula can assist with infant care and help you develop confidence in feeding, diapering, and soothing techniques. We also provide emotional support, lending a compassionate ear and offering guidance on the emotional ups and downs that often accompany postpartum experiences.
In addition, we can assist with light household tasks, ensuring your environment is comfortable and conducive to recovery.
Ultimately, our goal is to help ease the transition into parenthood, allowing you to focus on bonding with your newborn and fostering a positive start to your parenting journey.
Overnight Postpartum Care
During overnight care, your Postpartum Doula or Newborn Care Specialist will arrive at your home in the evening and remain throughout the night, offering 8, 10, or 12-hour sessions. Our expertise comes into play as we assist in establishing healthy sleep routines tailored to your baby's age, ensuring a restful night's sleep for you while we lovingly tend to your baby's needs, including feeding, changing, and soothing.
As Newborn Care Specialists and Postpartum Doulas, our primary objective is to equip you with the necessary tools and unwavering support for a successful and personalized parenting journey.
We offer educational insights, connect you with valuable local resources, provide guidance on nursery preparation and organization, and offer practical tips for setting up your home to accommodate the needs of a baby. Your Doula or NCS will be there to provide hands-on assistance with breastfeeding, pumping, or bottle feeding, teaching you the art of soothing and swaddling, and everything in between to ensure a smooth transition into parenthood.
