Our goal is to ensure you feel confident and supported in providing the best nutrition for your baby.

  • Our pumping and bottle feeding support service is designed to help you navigate the complexities of expressing and storing breast milk. We provide comprehensive guidance on selecting and using breast pumps, establishing a pumping routine, and safe milk storage practices. Additionally, we offer tips on transitioning between breast and bottle feeding to ensure your baby receives consistent nutrition regardless of the feeding method.

  • Our tandem feeding support service offers specialized assistance for mothers feeding more than one child at a time, whether it's twins, multiples, or siblings of different ages. We provide practical advice on positioning, managing milk supply, and creating a feeding schedule that works for you and your family. Our goal is to help you balance the demands of tandem feeding while ensuring each child receives the nourishment they need.

  • Rest matters — especially in the early days of recovery and adjustment. Our doulas provide gentle, attentive overnight care to help you get the sleep you need while ensuring your baby is fed, soothed, and safely cared for.
