Looking for prenatal and post natal services. Developing a birth plan and after labour care

Hi Nathalie, Our little girl has been having some issues at the breast since the day she was born on July 21st. She either is a) too comfortable that she falls asleep or b) too irritated that she won’t take. The great thing is her mom is producing a great amount of colostrum and her milk has started coming in. We just came home from the hospital for the first time on July 24th evening and had a rough night with our daughter crying and unwilling to feed. At the hospital, she did lose 12% of her body weight which caused us to stay an extra night and monitor her feeding. We had to top up her feeds with formula as well as pumped colostrum/milk but my wife would love to exclusively breastfeed and bottle feed later with beast milk. Our doula Nikki at Brood recommended we reach out to you to see if you could assist us in helping our little girl get more comfortable at the breast. Thank you, Rishi

I am expecting my first baby, so this is a completely new experience for me. I am looking for someone who is patient, caring, supportive, and experienced with newborns and first-time parents. It would be very important to me to find someone who also speaks Spanish, as I would feel more comfortable communicating in both Spanish and English. I would appreciate someone who can guide and support me as I learn how to care for my newborn, including feeding, soothing, sleep routines, and general newborn care. I am looking for someone kind and trustworthy who can help me feel more confident and supported during this new stage of my life.

I just found out I’m expecting and want someone to provide information and guidance. This is my first pregnancy so I feel overwhelmed. I plan to give birth in the hospital.
