Infant Massage
Infant Massage support postpartum mental health for caregivers and parents, increases boding hormones for caregiver and baby, supports infant digestion, respiratory function, relaxation, supports newborn skin care without synthetic chemicals or fragrances, and be a home support tool for babies with colic. The research on infant massage is EXTENSIVE and NICU infants who were massaged for 15 minutes a day gained weight faster than those who were not massaged. Online video instruction class includes massage oil and printed instruction manual that will be mailed to you. https://stefaniemelo.com/page/infant-massage-online
NCS / Night Nanny
I offer 9 hours of overnight newborn care per night to allow parents to communicate with me and pursue 8 hours of sleep. I will work with your specific goals for baby and feeding and provide top-notch, developmentally appropriate and evidence-based newborn care. This includes feeding, soothing, changing and putting baby to sleep. I also maintain a tidy workspace, in the nursery and the space where I prepare bottles. I restock diapers, wipes, wash/fold newborn clothing, wash bottles and pump parts, prepare bottles, empty/change diaper pail. I do not do household tasks such as dishes, family laundry, trash removal. My hourly rate is $40 for one baby, $45 for twins and $50 for triplets. When I am not offering infant care, I rest on the flat, comfortable surface provided (bed or cot) either in the nursery or in a separate room using a baby monitor. I suggest packages of 4-5 nights a week for 12-16 weeks depending on infant sleep goals. Shorter contracts may be available, but are usually not adequate to safely meet sleep goals. My fixed rate is noted below for 1 infant, per night. $360 singleton $405 twins $450 triplets
What to expect
I serve as an NCS in the East/Central Valley. As a digital doula, I offer a comprehensive program for expecting moms. I serve postpartum families in Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Apache Junction and Queen Creek
