Daytime Postpartum Support
Gentle, steady support as you settle into life with your baby.
Daytime care is designed to help you feel more supported, more confident, and more at ease as you adjust to this new season.
The early days with a newborn are a time of adjustment, learning, and recovery.
Consistent daytime support allows space for rest and nourishment, while offering practical, grounding guidance as you and your baby find your rhythm.
What Daytime Support Can Look Like
Each visit is shaped around your needs, your baby, and what would feel most helpful that day.
Support may include:
Hands-on infant care so you can rest or take a break
Breastfeeding and bottle-feeding support
Help understanding your baby’s cues for feeding, sleep, and regulation
Emotional support and a space to process your experience
Light household support (laundry, dishes, meal prep, tidying baby areas)
Guidance for partners and family members
Some days are more hands-on, while others are slower and focused on conversation and reassurance.
Both are a valuable part of this transition into parenthood.
Infant massage connection
As part of your daytime support, I also offer gentle guidance in infant massage.
Infant massage is a simple,
supportive way to:
Deepen connection with your baby
Support digestion and ease discomfort (like gas or fussiness)
Encourage relaxation and body awareness
Build confidence in handling and responding to your baby
This is always introduced gently and at your baby’s pace. Some families incorporate it into their daily rhythm, while others simply enjoy learning a few techniques they can use when needed.
Emotional & Recovery Support
Support for your recovery and well-being
During our time together, I offer:
Emotional support that is grounded and non-judgmental
Guidance in recognizing what is typical in recovery and when to seek additional support
Specialized support for postpartum mood challenges
Space to ask questions, process your experience, and feel heard
Postpartum recovery is not just physical.
It’s emotional,
mental, and deeply personal.

Scheduling and Support
Daytime doulas typically work 2–5 days per week, often over the course of several weeks as your family adjusts.
Care is flexible and based on your needs, whether you’re looking for short-term support or ongoing guidance.
Christina was a saving grace for my family… She took things off my plate, supported me with the baby, gave great advice, and helped with household chores. I am so thankful for her.”
