Postpartum Support

Postpartum support can vary depending on your needs following your birth. I can help with lactation issues, light housework, running errands or picking up prescriptions, meal prep, assist with meals for other children, newborn care so you can rest, nap, shower (or just get a much-needed break), etc. I also refer out to specialists if there is anything outside of my scope of practice.

 

Night shifts mainly consist of newborn care so that you can get some sleep. I will bring baby to you if you are nursing (or feed baby by bottle if not), burp, change, soothe, and help baby get rest as well as clean bottles, bottle parts and/or pump parts.

All packages can be customized to your needs & budget, depending on availability.
