OUR PHILOSOPHY
Bringing home a new baby is a marvel, a mystery and a challenge. No one would argue about that. Yet so often "doing it right" creates unnecessary anxiety. We hope with our support learning to care for your baby will be less a problem to be solved than a mystery to be lived.
We know babies but our job is to help you know your baby in particular. We support brand new mothers and their partners to confidently begin their family life together.
It is our passion to help you and your baby learn to read each other's cues for sleep, feeding and comfort.
OUR SERVICES
We are perinatal wellness professionals providing support for the new mother and her family. Establishing routines, troubleshooting breastfeeding issues, suggesting tools and baby gear that best suit your lifestyle and vision for family life are a part of our services.
We help to educate, assess and nurture the well being of postpartum mothers, coaching the family on infant care, such as dressing, diapering, bottle feeding. We help mothers with breastfeeding support, establishing a feeding and sleeping routine for baby. We are available to the family for the so called "Fourth Trimester" or the first three months of the baby's life.
We have experience with:
C-section recovery,
postpartum mood changes, multiples, adoptions, surrogacy,
sibling dynamics,
and can provide a non-judgmental listening ear for birth stories and personal histories.
Our support also includes household tasks with laundry and meals.
