Daytime Support
Each session is a minimum of 4 hours, our time together is personalized and specific to that day of support. This is a great opportunity to check in on how mom and partner are doing, we observe how baby is doing during feeding, and we go over your goals for the day whether it be getting a nap in, taking a shower, or utilizing my help for baby's laundry. Most of the time, especially in the early weeks, I provide extensive baby education and resources.
Nighttime Support
Each session is a minimum of 9 hours. This time is meant to help maximize your sleep. During this time I care for baby while parents sleep. The beginning of the evening is used for discussions and setting goals for the rest of the night. Based on your feeding plan I will wake mom to breastfeed or I will give a bottle.
Virtual Support
Sometimes just an hour of support with a safe a encouraging space can be extremely helpful. No matter where you are we can connect and talk through your postpartum journey.
