NYC Postpartum Doula Services

My goal within the first weeks of postpartum is to build confidence in the family through training and assistance around the home.  My attention is placed on the mother's physical and emotional recovery as well as working with the parents to teach baby care with a special focus on breastfeeding.  I have experience with twins as well as second time parents.  There is a minimum booking of 15 hours and with visits lasting at least 3 hours.
