Because the fourth trimester deserves the same level of support as birth itself.

The fourth trimester, the first 12 weeks after birth, is a tender time of transformation, learning, and healing. Your growing family deserves care during this big life change. Our postpartum nurse doulas are trained in postpartum recovery, newborn care, and lactation support, providing in-home care for the whole family. Postpartum recovery isn't just about having a new baby, it's about making sure new parents feel nourished, rested, and truly held.

Roles of a postpartum nurse doula:

• Assessing mom's physical healing after birth such as checking your blood pressure, making sure your incision (for cesarean sections) is healing well, and keeping an eye on recovery milestones so problems get caught early

• Prepping and using recovery supports such as padsicles (frozen postpartum pads), sitz baths, and postpartum belly binders

• Helping with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and everything in between. From latch troubleshooting to pumping schedules to combo-feeding support, we will help you find a feeding routine that feels right for you

• Teaching newborn care basics like giving baby a bath, safe baby wearing, soothing, and swaddling

• Help with newborn care so you can shower, nap, or get some fresh air undisturbed!

• Light household tasks such as warming up a meal, doing laundry, organizing the nursery, tidying the kitchen, cleaning and sterilizing bottles so you can rest instead of running the house

• We also check in on you, not just physically but emotionally. The postpartum period brings big shifts in mood and identity, and we're trained to recognize the signs of postpartum anxiety and depression, and connect you with needed resources.
