Angelia Htoo - Postpartum Doula

About me

I am a dedicated Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care helper committed to the philosophy that when a baby is born, a mother is also born. My mission is to bridge the gap between "just getting by" and truly flourishing in your new role. I provide holistic support that balances expert infant care with nurturing care for the mother, ensuring a smooth transition for the entire family. Expert Newborn & Sleep Support I specialize in providing 24/7 and overnight care, offering parents peace of mind and much-needed rest. My approach is rooted in safety and development, including: • Sleep Expertise: Pediatric sleep training, newborn routine shaping, and establishing healthy habits following AAP Sleep Guidelines. • Soothing & Routine: Mastery of swaddling and soothing methods, alongside creating predictable daytime infant schedules. • Developmental Play: Engaging your little one with tummy time and age-appropriate infant developmental activities. Feeding & Specialized Care Navigating feeding challenges can be overwhelming. I offer hands-on guidance for: • Feeding Support: Assistance with breastfeeding, bottle preparation, and proper breast milk storage. • Specialized Needs: Expert management of colic, reflux, and complex feeding issues to ensure your baby is comfortable and thriving. Nurturing the Mother My support extends beyond the nursery. I believe a well-cared-for mother is the heart of a happy home. To support your recovery and bonding, I provide: • Meal Preparation: Nutritious, recovery-focused meals to fuel your body. • Maternal Transition: Emotional and physical support as you navigate the shift into motherhood. • Practical Help: Managing the "other things"—from light household tasks to nursery organization—so you can focus entirely on your new baby.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Postpartum Doula?

Unlike a birth doula, I focus on the "Fourth Trimester." My role is to support the mother’s recovery and the newborn’s transition into the world. I provide a mix of expert infant care, emotional support, and practical household help so you can focus on bonding.

What does "Montessori-style" newborn care mean?

It means I respect the baby as a whole person from day one. I focus on a "prepared environment" that encourages natural movement, use high-contrast visual stimuli, and practice "following the child" by observing their unique cues for hunger, sleep, and play.

How does "24/7 or Overnight Care" work?

Overnight care typically focuses on maximizing parent sleep. I handle feedings (or bring the baby to you if breastfeeding), diapering, and soothing throughout the night. For 24/7 care, I provide round-the-clock support to establish routines and provide total household harmony.

Are you CPR/First Aid Certified?

Yes. I maintain current certifications in both CPR and First Aid to ensure the highest safety standards for your newborn.

Do you follow specific sleep guidelines?

Absolutely. I strictly follow the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) Safe Sleep Guidelines to ensure your baby is sleeping in the safest environment possible.

Can you help with breastfeeding or bottle feeding?

Yes. I provide hands-on support for breastfeeding positioning, bottle preparation, and proper breast milk or formula storage. I am also experienced in managing specialized feeding needs like reflux and colic.

Do you help with chores or just the baby?

My priority is the mother and baby, but a peaceful home is part of a healthy recovery. I handle "the other things" like nursery organization, bottle sterilization, light tidying, and nutritious meal preparation.

Are you comfortable with pets?

Yes! I am a dedicated animal lover and very comfortable working in homes with cats and dogs.

What are your Service Plans?

I offer various tiers of support ranging from daytime check-ins to intensive overnight packages. Please inquire directly for a breakdown of my current service plans and pricing to find the best fit for your family.
