Hope you had a fun and safe 4th of July! What is your family doing to beat the heat and have fun this summer?

We are spending so much time at the river. Our family loves to swim and fish, and we've been outside cooling off at our local river parks nearly every day. A/C is great, but nothing beats a dip in a fresh flowing, cool river!

BRO... YOU'RE GONNA NEED SLEEP.
Seriously.
You spent months researching strollers, installing the car seat, and practicing your "dad jokes."
But possibly nobody warned you that your tiny new roommate has absolutely no respect for bedtime.

At 2:17 a.m., you'll be Googling:
"Is this diaper really that full?"
"Why is the baby awake... again?"
"Can humans survive on two hours of sleep?"
The answer? Technically... yes.
But there's a better way.

I'm Sara with Warm Hands Postpartum, and for over 15 years I've helped new parents get the rest they need during those first exhausting weeks.
While you sleep, I'll:
Care for your newborn all night
Soothe, swaddle, feed, and change baby
Support breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and pumping
Handle baby-related nighttime tasks
Help everyone wake up feeling a whole lot more human

Because your job isn't to be a superhero.
It's to be a great dad.
And great dads know when to call in backup.
Get some sleep. Your family will thank you.

Expecting twins or more?
Multiples parents can be more prone to sleep deprivation and other challenges in the postpartum phase. My families find the most relief with 3-7 nights/week of doula support during those first months, so they can be their best selves and transition into being parents of many, easier.
Did you know twins are one of my specialties? I've worked with hundreds of sets since I began in 2011- in fact, my very first doula family had twins! I took a *Working with Multiples* training shortly thereafter, and over the years have learned so many tips and tools that I get to pass on to parents. I once even worked with a family who had quintuplets- whew, what a wild ride for us all!
If you're interested in investing in extra sleep for the whole family, reducing the risk of postpartum mood disorders, and feeling fully supported during those early days, send me a message.

What does a postpartum doula do? So many things! And each doula does things slightly differently. After 15 years, I've fined-tuned my skills and offerings to what I'm best at, and what my clients find the most helpful. Here's a short list-
-Sleep is almost always #1! Parents get to be off baby-duty, and get a restful night. Especially helpful after a challenging birth or for C-section recovery, or when there are older little ones who keep you busy during the day. I can also help baby grow to be the best sleeper they can be. My approach is gentle and responsive. My babies are often sleeping 6+ hours by 6-8 weeks. That means only one nighttime feed!
-Feeding support- Whether bottle or breast, challenges can arise. I can help with trouble shooting so things go smoothly.
-Quiet baby-related chores- I wash bottles and pump parts, do baby laundry, stock and organize nurseries, and am even happy to put together that new swing or bouncer. 🔨
- Teaching. New parents, or even experienced ones often ask for tips on things like bathing a newborn, swaddling, baby wearing, gear/feeding/diaper options, and lots more. I love helping you practice these skills, and watching you gain confidence.
- Emotional support- "Is this normal?" A large part of being a doula is caring for moms(and dads!) as someone who has been there in all the ways. I've been told families feel safe and loved under my care, and that my warm personality and calm voice go a long way towards reassuring new parents' nerves.
