-
Caring for baby while you care for yourself (sleep, eat, shower, go for a walk, etc.)
-
Answering questions and offering evidence-based information regarding newborn care, postpartum healing, safe sleep strategies, navigating changes to family dynamics (including older children), bathing, baby-wearing, etc.
-
Identifying when additional support may be warranted and referring out to trusted practitioners within our community
-
Supporting the chosen feeding process, including breastfeeding, exclusive pumping, formula, and/or bottle feeding
-
Light housework, including dishes, laundry, and organization projects
-
Food preparation, including grocery shopping and cooking (according to your own recipes provided or those I suggest)

Holding space for you to process your experience of birth, new parenthood, and the realities of caring for a new human in a non-judgmental and confidential way
