Welcome to After Baby Arrives, Postpartum Doula & Lactation Support
Postpartum can be a struggle, and often a very overwhelming and exhausting time. My goal is simply to be present in the home to help in any way I can and lend some expertise. I usually end up doing a lot of cooking and laundry, and helping the parents with lactation and babycare. If all goes well, mom will get to nap when I am visiting! I'm kind of like having your mom visit, but with some added expertise.
I recently earned my Postpartum Doula Certification through Birth Arts International and am offering Postpartum Doula services in Northern NJ.
