February 14, 2025Newborn Care Support for Your Baby’s First Four Months
Questions about feeding, sleep, and newborn care don’t always wait for your next appointment…
The Nurtured Foundation newborn support membership gives you a trusted person to ask during the workday, with practical, nonjudgmental guidance tailored to what you share about your baby.
You’ll work directly with me by email, text, Zoom, and a private DoulaConnect chat. I work with up to five families each month so I can give each family thoughtful attention.
❋ Personal support for new parents
The early months with a baby bring plenty to figure out. You might have questions about a feeding pattern, pumping, newborn sleep, or what development can look like at six weeks. This membership gives you a place to talk those questions through between pediatrician visits.
I’m a certified newborn care specialist, certified postpartum doula, triple-certified pediatric sleep consultant, and certified lactation counselor (CLC). I’m also a mom of two, and I know that families need support that respects their choices and circumstances.
❋ What’s included in the newborn support membership
Unlimited email and text support with me, Sunday through Friday, 8 AM–8 PM Eastern
Replies within 12 business hours at the latest; most replies arrive within a couple of hours
Four 20-minute Zoom calls each month, scheduled in advance
A private DoulaConnect chat for messaging and logging sleep, feeding, and diapers
Guidance based on the information you share, including the patterns in your logs
DoulaConnect is free for you. I review your messages and logs during business hours; I don’t monitor them around the clock.
❋ What we can talk about
The membership is for newborn and infant care support through four months of age. We can talk about:
Newborn and infant care
Feeding and lactation, including pumping and planning for your return to work
Newborn and infant sleep questions and tips
Infant development
Sleep coaching packages are a separate service. Members receive 10% off those packages. If your question falls outside my scope, I’ll let you know who may be able to help..
❋ Support that complements your pediatrician
This membership offers newborn care guidance, not medical care. Your pediatrician is the right person for medical and health concerns. If a question needs medical attention, I’ll direct you to your pediatrician’s office.
Please call your pediatrician about concerns such as fever, trouble breathing, feeding refusal, too few wet diapers, jaundice, or anything that feels off to you. In an emergency, call 911. For urgent concerns after hours, contact your pediatrician’s after-hours line.
I may not have met your baby before we begin, and I can’t examine them. My suggestions are based on what you tell me and what you log. DoulaConnect is not a secure medical channel, so please don’t send confidential or medical information there.
