We will work together to be sure you get your rest while meeting your lactation/feeding goals. Rest easy knowing that your baby is being cared for by a Newborn Care Specialist and Lactation Consultant of 10 years.

-“Sleep Expectations and Healthy Habits” PDF where we will discuss the science of newborn sleep, sleep schedules, good sleep hygiene and the fundamentals to setting your baby up for healthy sleep habits.
-Unlimited text and phone support- 7 days per week
-Lactation, breastfeeding and bottlefeeding support from me, a certified Lactation Consultant
What to expect:
For breastfeeding mothers: once everyone settles for sleep, I will sleep with baby in a separate space, only bringing baby to mom for feedings. I wake you in a quiet and calm way, bring you a cup of tea, some water or a snack if needed, then sit by you to keep you company, help you navigate latch, positions and feeding, burp baby in between, give ideas on keeping baby awake during feedings so that feedings are efficient and whatever makes the mother feel held and comforted. After feedings, I change baby’s diaper and soothe them back to sleep so that you can continue resting.
For exclusively pumping mothers: once everyone settles for sleep, I will sleep with baby in a separate space and feed and care for baby throughout the night. I will wake mother with clean pump parts and pump set up for her pumping session.
For bottle-fed babies: parents may choose to sleep through the night while I care for baby.
