Extended Postpartum Support

For Families who need more hours of in-home support after birth

The addition of a new baby is a life changing experience! Pregnancy, labor, and birth are only the beginning of your new life together. The first days as a new (or larger) family can be challenging to parents and /or siblings. The physical and mental health of the birthing parent and baby should be honored, with a rooted support team. Many of us don’t have family nearby, or we are looking to build a more supportive environment in the first few months by incorporating a postpartum caregiver. Our postpartum care package is offered in increments of 15 hours. Packages are available and priced as follows for daytime hours (we do not currently offer overnight care).

OFFERINGS:

• Support for the emotional and physical recovery after the birth of your baby

• Offer a listening, nonjudgmental ear and heart 

• Spend time with the baby so the family can have time to rest

• Lactation guidance & support 

• Assist in teaching newborn care methods 

• Foster family bonding

• Sibling support during the transition 

• Prepare nutritious food: dinner prep, smoothie prep, nursing snacks 

• Assist in household organizing, light tidying, grocery shopping

• Organize nursery for infant care

• Phone/ email contact, as needed

• Pet care; feeding, walking, daily medications

*Please note: This service is separate from the "Integrative Postpartum Care Package." It resembles home postpartum 'doula' support but includes our expertise in midwifery.
