Before baby is born we can meet in person or virtually to discuss lactation concerns, new baby behavior and concerns or get help setting up nursery. We can work together to create a postpartum plan to share with your family and friends.

Care for baby if they're awake
Soothe baby when they're fussy
Change diapers
Bring baby to parents to feed or feed the baby a bottle
Communicate with texts to maintain your privacy
Wake you only if needed
Leave detailed notes of how the night went and follow up
This option allows parents to get much needed rest. The overnight package also includes brief daytime communication via text/email. If I think a daytime meeting would be beneficial for more Q&A time, it will be suggested.
