  • Physical and emotional support of the birthing parent and other family members, including listening to your birth story and any concerns you or your partner may have related to postpartum recovery and adjustment to life with your new baby.

  • Guidance with newborn care and understanding newborn behavior, including teaching/modeling infant soothing, diapering, feeding, swaddling, etc.

  • Light housework with focus on baby supplies, including washing pump or bottle parts.
