Postpartum Care
According to a Parent's Network Poll on American Baby, 32% of first-time moms plan to use a lactation consultant, while 57% actually hire one.
My goal is to teach your family how to “mother the mother”, and provide information to inspire confidence so you can mother your new little one more effectively. You may find once you get home assistance is needed to settle in, or perhaps after your partner goes back to work you feel a little overwhelmed. We will work together to create a personalized plan so you can gain some sanity and restore a rhythm back to your day. Shannon is certified in infant/child CPR and basic first aid.
Some of the services I can offer:
~breastfeeding support
~emotional support and observation for possible postpartum depression
~light housekeeping
~meal preparation (my hubby is a fantastic cook)
~nursery and home management
~newborn care
~running errands
~day and overnight care
~techniques, and tips to begin the building of a solid relationship between the family and baby.
~help with baby and/or siblings for pediatric appointments or if you just want to take a quiet shower.
This is just a few of the ways I can help you. I like to start by meeting for an hour so we can get to know each other and I can create a plan specific to your family’s needs. To be fully prepared, I think it is best if you settle on a postpartum doula before the birth. If you aren’t sure you will need my services after the baby arrives, we can still meet for the initial consultation to gauge where you are at. Your investment for this service is $15 an hour.
