New moms, have you considered hiring overnight or daytime support once your new ones arrive? I am a Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula and Lactation Educator. I can support you during the first few months after your babies arrive. I can help you get more rest at night when I work overnight shifts or daytime hours to work one-on-one with you. Sometimes I will even live in to give that added support for your family. I look forward to helping guide you through the 4th trimester!
