Postpartum Doula & Lactation Support Services
I recently earned my postpartum doula certification through Birth Arts International and am offering Northern NJ Postpartum Doula services.
Postpartum is a very overwhelming and exhausting time, so my goal is simply to be present in the home to help in any way I can and lend some expertise. Every person and family has different needs, but 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!
To support you and your household with your new baby during postpartum adjustment time, I include the following services in my postpartum care:
My background includes: 10 years plus as a birth doula, supporting mothers thru birth and into postpartum: Certified Lactation Counselor thru The Center for Breastfeeding; Birth Arts International Postpartum Doula Training, Graduate of Culinary School followed by work in NYC restaurants. Additionally, I am a Newborn Photographer at St. Clare's Hospital in Denville, where a background check and medical testing/vaccinations are required, in order to start working with the infants. I have also gained experience as a mother of two (now teenage) breastfed babies.
Packages:
I offers services within the 1st 6 weeks postpartum during daytime hours (8a - 6p). I do not work in homes where there is indoor smoking. I love pets. Fee is $50 per hour for a minimum of 4 hours (the time goes really quickly!) and includes Lactation Counseling. I look forward to supporting you and your family postpartum.
