you just did something huge. Let someone take care of you for a bit.
in-home daytime support for the fourth trimester. feeding help, recovery check-ins, newborn care know-how, and a real chance to eat, shower, and sleep while i hold your baby.
the short version:
Daytime visits only. I schedule in 3-4 hour blocks. I do not offer overnight care.
in your home. Loveland and across Northern Colorado.
first 1-12 weeks of baby’s life. flexible scheduling around your family’s daytime rhythm.
every kind of birth. vaginal, cesarean, home, hospital, NICU graduates.
hands-on help, honest information, and someone in your corner.
every visit is shaped around what your family needs that day. some days that’s a feeding deep-dive. some days it’s folding laundry while you nap.
-
Latch and positioning, pumping setup, paced bottle feeding, and formula prep. breast, bottle, or both. i’ll help you find what works and refer you to an ibclc when you need more.
-
the fourth trimester is a lot. i watch for signs of postpartum mood and anxiety disorders and connect you with real support if you need it. no judgment, ever.
-
bathing, diapering, swaddling, cord care, reading hunger and sleep cues, and soothing techniques. learn by doing, with someone right beside you.
-
i’ll hold the baby so you can shower, nap, or eat a hot meal. i can also help with light meal prep, baby laundry, dishes, and resetting the nursery and feeding stations.
-
helping partners find their rhythm, easing older siblings into the change, and connecting you with local resources like pelvic floor pt, lactation, support groups, and wic.
a typical 3-4 hour daytime visit looks like:
check in
how are you sleeping, feeding, healing, feeling? we set the plan for today together.
hands-on support
a feed together, a bath lesson, a babywearing fit. whatever’s on your mind.
you rest
i take the baby and the to-do list. you sleep, shower, or just sit with a warm drink.
set up the night
bottles prepped, snacks ready, a game plan for tonight so you’re not starting from zero.

why I focus on daytime supportdaytime is when i can do my best work: hands-on teaching while you’re awake to learn, real conversations about how you’re doing, and help that leaves you more confident on your own.
i don’t offer overnight care. if you need night support, just ask. i’m happy to point you toward trusted night doulas and newborn care specialists in northern colorado.
-
ideally during pregnancy, around your second or third trimester, so we can plan ahead. but it’s never too late. reach out any time after baby arrives and i’ll do my best to fit you in.
-
it depends on your support at home, how your recovery is going, and how feeding is going. most families like 2-3 visits a week in the first few weeks, then taper off. we’ll figure it out together on your consult.
-
no. my postpartum support is daytime only. i’m glad to refer you to overnight providers if you need them.
-
no. postpartum Doulas offer non-medical, emotional, educational, and practical support. I don’t diagnose or treat, but I know the signs that mean it’s time to call your provider, and i’ll help you get there.
