Daytime Support FAQs:
-
We can meet you as you get home from the hospital! Many of our families choose this option as they get settled in. Their doula can help with making them a meal, answering those early newborn care questions, running out to the shops for any forgotten baby items, and check in on postpartum healing or lactation support.
