Find a Newborn Care Specialist Near Me in Lakeland, FL

I am a mother of four and love helping new moms as well as experienced moms have a smooth and healing postpartum experience. I have experience with breastfeeding (having breastfed all four babies as well as exclusively pumped) as well as how to overcome nursing strikes and bottle preference. I can teach new moms infant care - breast or bottle feeding, diaper changing, swaddling, bathing, safe sleep, introducing solids, tummy time and onto toddler care and beyond. I enjoy cooking and preparing nourishing postpartum meals that include milk-boosting superfoods, food rich in minerals and vitamins that postpartum moms need as well as comforting foods that will help moms feel taken care of. During my postpartum experiences, I focused on nutrient dense soups, stews, broths and teas and can offer this service to my clients as well. Whether you want someone to stock your freezer before baby arrives or have someone drop off meals once or twice a week - this service can be a huge benefit for moms who need the extra support. My care taking philosophy is a combination of the traditional Chinese medicine approach to nourishing the postpartum mother with intentional food choices as well as a time-old tradition of mothering the mother so that she can fully focus on her baby and rest during those precious early days together. When I was a new mom, I read all the baby books from attachment parenting to sleep training to baby led weaning. And as my kids got older, I read all the parenting books as well from French parenting to simplicity parenting. Now that I have a pre-teen, elementary age, almost preschooler and late newborn, I’ve realized that as long as you know the basics and baby is safe, loved and fed - everything else is figure-out able. And I would love to help new moms as they learn the basics, grow into their own and figure out the new routine/ rhythm that works best for them and their babies.

My name is Allison and I am your Unconquered Mama. I am a wife and mother to two beautiful little girls. It was during my first pregnancy that I started to have a desire to get into birth work.
