Newborn care
The process of becoming a parent is transformative. It encourages you to grow as a person. Newborns are very unique in their needs and behavoirs compared to other stages of life. As a newborn care specialist I help with tips and tricks for soothing baby, lactation and pumping. I'm experienced with all methods of feeding including finger feeding, tandem breast and bottle feeding twins. I can show you ways to wear and bathe your baby. I do baby laundry, diaper changes, was pump parts, and prepare food for you. This care is customizable. If you choose daytime care you can take a nap or shower while I hold your baby, we can go over questions and concerns you might have. When you choose overnight care, I can bring baby to you for feeding or bottle feed so you can sleep all night. I have experience with babies needing NICU care and twins.
Postpartum Care
After the birth of your baby I will provide in person emotional and informational support to encourage physical recovery. I provide practical support so you can rest and feel nurtured. I have experience helping birthing parents heal physically and emotionally from all types of births. As a postpartum doula I care for the mother so she can care for her baby.
Birth doula
Birth is an important, life changing event. Feeling supported through labor and birth means more confident parents from day one. Giving birth should be an empowering experience, no matter what type of birth you have. I provide information and ideas to help you plan and prepare for your birth.I will teach you and your support person (if you have one) a variety of comfort measures for labor. I provide continuous support throughout the labor, birth, and immediate postpartum. After your birth I will visit with you to go over any questions you might have about your birth, baby care, and your recovery.
