Postpartum Services

Hourly Postpartum Support

Postpartum support is about more than just feeding. It is about caring for the whole family during the postpartum period. In these hourly sessions, we explore whatever matters most to you, whether it is understanding your baby’s cues, establishing routines, supporting your recovery, managing sleep expectations, or adjusting to your new role as a parent. We may talk about newborn care topics like tummy time, soothing strategies, or how to make sense of the emotional highs and lows. Each session is shaped by your unique needs and offers calm, compassionate support during this important transition.

Note: This service is not a feeding support consultation. For feeding-specific concerns, please see my lactation services.

Duration: Customizable hourly support
