• Act with respect and kindness no matter the decisions you make for your family

• Foster the participation of all caregivers

• Guide through newborn care such as diapering, appropriate clothing, and more.

• Support whatever feeding method you choose and set up plans after baby’s arrival: having a pump in place, bottles and correct nipple size, pumping/feeding station, optimal latch, comfortable positions to feed, and more

• Light chores (e.g., baby laundry, tidying up the nursery)

• Nurture parents’ intuition and confidence as they adjust to parenthood

• Preparation of quick breakfast such as oatmeal or fruit bowl when possible

• During our prenatal visit, help you set up the house for the baby’s arrival and keep spaces practical for feedings, recovery, and relevant products/tips

Families receive extra resources: books to prepare about ‘Newborn Care’ and ‘Breastfeeding your baby’ - if that is the preferred feeding choice. They are wonderful for reference during pregnancy and postpartum, published by Plumtree Baby.
