Your New Baby
… What kind of help will we need when we get home with our new baby? What’s the difference between a baby nurse and a postpartum doula? Where should my baby sleep? Our room? His room? Our bed? His crib? Bassinet? Co-sleeper? What’s a co-sleeper? Should we or shouldn’t we use the pacifier? How do you get her to take it? Why won’t my baby sleep? What if my baby won’t sleep unless she’s on her belly? On my chest? In the infant swing? In the baby sling? In her car seat? In the car? When do I sleep? How do I know what my baby needs when he cries? Is he hungry? Tired? Gassy? When do we swaddle? Do I want to breast feed? Bottle feed? Both? When can my husband give the baby a bottle? What kind of breast pump should I get? How do I use it? Which formula should I buy if I want to use formula or supplement? Which bottles and nipples should I use?
The support you need, when you need it most.
Because when your baby is crying and you’ve got a million questions and you haven’t had a chance to eat, sleep or go to the bathroom (much less take a shower), you just want answers. You don’t really have the time (or the focus) to search through the six baby books on your nightstand (each one says something different) or follow the blogs which lead to fifty different responses to the same question. You need answers and you need them now.
Newborn Parent Consulting in person, by phone, email and video chat.
Continuous support and custom-fit strategies to help you navigate all the issues that come up once you’ve come home with your newborn: sleeping (where, when and how), feeding (breast and/or bottle, supplementing, pacifiers, pumping), what kind of help you need (family, friends, baby nurse, doula) and where to get it, going back to work (if, when and how), making time for yourself and your partner.
