We go over what positive self care looks like for you and how to apply that to labor.

In home visit after baby arrival

At this visit we will discuss your birth, the feelings you have towards that day, and also do a lactation assessment. When your milk volume increases, typically day 2-5 after birth, you will see a change in your supply and this may also affect the way your baby has been nursing up until then. I want to help guide you in figuring out what works best for you and your baby in the early postpartum period and beyond. I will also address any baby care questions. Our relationship does not end there, I am still available to you via text/phone, so you feel reassured and confident during this transition.
