Darby Adams - Newborn Care Specialist

About Darby

My name is Darby and I work primarily as an Overnight Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula. As a Newborn Care Specialist I support you in your first 12-20 weeks home with a new baby with 30 to 60 hours a week of overnight or daytime care. I will get you set off on the right foot when it comes to having a healthy sleep schedule; working to get your little one (or ones!) sleeping through the night as it becomes age appropriate. I will support their eating needs to ensure their intake supports age appropriate growth and successful sleep, whether that is through breast feeding, formula feeding, bottle feeding or some combination of those options. And most importantly I will be able to keep a close eye on your newest and tiniest family member to make sure their health, development, and habits are all trending in the right direction. Overall my objective is to get a sense for your goals in the first few months to help educate, support, and assess the baby’s and family’s needs. As a postpartum doula my work will look very similar but will have the parent take the lead more. I will be there as your shadow to support with healthy healing for mom and baby. I can offer education, nurturing, assessments of postpartum recovery and referrals to other folks who would help you be successful during this unique time in life.

I’m so happy I found Darby! I was having a hard time getting my newborn to sleep and had questions about feeding. There’s so much information out there and Darby was able to simplify everything for me in a way that worked for me and baby. I was nervous about trusting anyone with my baby but Darby is the real deal. You can tell she really loves babies and I trust her to give good care to my baby when I’m not there. You’re in good hands if you go to Darby for your baby’s needs!
