Breastfeeding and Lactation Support
With years of experience in breastfeeding and lactation, I offer practical advice and hands-on support to help ensure a successful breastfeeding journey.
Infant Care Assistance
I assist with newborn care, including feeding, diapering, and sleep routines, giving parents the time and space to rest and bond with their baby.
Household Help
I understand that caring for a newborn can be overwhelming, so I provide light household support to help ease the load, whether it’s preparing meals, organizing baby supplies, or handling other tasks.
Partner and Family Support
My services extend to helping partners and family members adjust to their new roles, providing education and emotional support to ensure everyone is feeling confident in their new dynamic.

If you're concerned about milk supply, I help assess your feeding routine, offer tips for boosting supply, and suggest natural remedies to support lactation.
