You deserve to be cared for,

mama.

The transition into parenthood is a profound life change, and the postpartum period deserves just as much care and attention as pregnancy and birth. Between physical recovery, hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, emotional changes, and the demands of caring for and feeding a newborn, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure of what you need.

Postpartum Recovery and Newborn Care offers just that, extended care for baby AND you that goes beyond a 1 hour visit. Whether you're navigating latch difficulties and feeling overwhelmed by things piling up at home, need a moment to shut your eyes while feeling confident your baby is in knowledgeable hands, or need extra support after a tongue tie release, our personalized extended care can help you find comfort in the overwhelming and busy season of postpartum.

You deserve to be cared for while you care for your baby. Postpartum support isn't a luxury—it's an important part of the transition into parenthood.

  • We’ll spend 4 hours together to provide unrushed, hands-on support for you and your baby. We can work through multiple feeds, practice positioning and latch, review multiple sets of prescribed oral exercises following a frenectomy, helping you feel more confident caring for your baby at home.

    Just as importantly, this time is for you. Whether you need to eat a nourishing meal, take a shower, catch up on sleep, or simply rest, you can trust that your baby is in caring, attentive hands.

    More than lactation support, this is an opportunity to be cared for while you care for your baby.

  • As Registered Nurses (RNs) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs), we bring specialized clinical knowledge and hands-on experience from NICU, pediatrics, and OB/GYN to your postpartum care. This allows us to support advanced feeding challenges, monitor concerns within our scope of practice, guide you through post-frenectomy feeding support, and recognize when additional medical evaluation may be needed.

    We believe you deserve time to rest, recover, eat, and feel cared for. What sets our approach apart is the combination of nurturing, personalized postpartum support with professional nursing expertise and advanced lactation training.

    You receive more than an extra set of hands. You receive experienced, clinically informed care for both you and your baby, so you can feel supported, confident, and cared for during the transition into parenthood.

  • Our extended care visits are designed to provide unrushed, personalized support for you and your baby.

    The first hour is billed at our standard in-home lactation visit rate or submitted through insurance when applicable. The remaining 3 hours are billed at $85 per hour, making the minimum 4 hour session an investment of your standard lactation visit fee plus $255.

    Extended care is booked in 4 hour minimum blocks. For every additional 4 hour block booked, you’ll receive a $50 discount.

We believe you deserve to feel cared for, confident, and supported throughout your postpartum journey. We’re happy to answer questions and help determine whether extended care is the right fit for your family.
