Postpartum Care
In the first tender weeks after birth, I come to your home and do whatever is most needed: hold the baby while you nap, run a load of laundry, prep food, or simply sit with you while you process it all. Every visit is shaped around what you need that day. Trained through DONA International.
I don't arrive with a rigid plan. I arrive with full attention, and everything flows from what you actually need today.
What's included:
- Hands-on newborn care (feeding support, soothing, babywearing guidance)
- Emotional support and postpartum wellness check-ins
- Light household help: laundry, dishes, tidying the spaces that matter most
- Sibling support and family adjustment guidance
- Reliable, scheduled visits with a consistent, familiar presence
Overnight Support
You sleep. I handle the night. I manage feeds, settling, and soothing so you can rest in another room and wake up as a functioning human.
Sleep deprivation is not a rite of passage. It's a health concern, and it deserves to be taken seriously. Overnight shifts are typically 10pm–6am. Available as add-ons to any care package or as standalone nights.
What's included:
- Night feeding support (breast, pump, or bottle)
- Infant settling and soothing through the night
- Age-appropriate sleep environment and rhythm guidance
- Morning handoff with a summary of the night
- You sleep in another room, uninterrupted
Lactation Support
Gentle, evidence-based help with latch, positioning, pumping, and the emotional weight of feeding. Whether you're breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, or navigating a transition you didn't expect. I offer calm, experienced support without agenda. Trained through UC San Diego's IBCLC preparation program.
I'll sit with you through a full feeding, observe, ask the right questions, and offer guidance that meets your body and your baby exactly where you both are. There is no single right way.
Formal lactation consulting certification is in progress.
What's included:
- Latch assessment and hands-on positioning guidance
- Pumping support: schedule, output, equipment review
- Guidance on milk supply, oversupply, and common challenges
- Formula supplementation support without judgment
- Referrals to IBCLCs when deeper clinical support is warranted
Nourishment
Warm, healing meals prepared in your kitchen using ingredients you love. I'm trained in postpartum nutrition through Postpartum University. The right foods support physical recovery, hormonal balance, and milk production.
I leave your kitchen clean and your refrigerator stocked so the next few meals are already handled.
What's included:
- Customized menu planning based on your preferences and dietary needs
- In-home meal preparation during your visit
- Batch cooking for make-ahead snacks and easy reheating
- Postpartum-specific nutrition guidance (galactagogues, iron-rich foods, anti-inflammatory eating)
- A tidy kitchen when I leave
