We will provide you with non-medical, evidenced-based information, so you can feel confident in making best decisions for your family. Let The Nurturing Root support your family, during this joyous occasion. It is our privilege to assist you family, with the following:

Nesting In With Baby
After your home, center, or hospital birth, we can come to you and help your family adjust during those fragile first days.

Overnight Infant Support
Parenting a newborn can be exhausting. We are honored to provide families with customized care and support. Often families desire dedicated newborn care during the overnight hours. You and your family can rest peacefully knowing that a highly trained night nurse is caring for your newborn's every desire.

Breastfeeding Comfort
Your healthy newborn was born to breastfeed, but it takes practice and patience to master this skill together. We can assist you with practical tips and comfort measures for added nursing success. We are also able to set-up a breastfeeding basket or nursing nook so everything is within arm s reach while feeding baby. If you need access to a Breastfeeding Counselor or an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), we can assist you with that, as well.

Infant Care & Cues
You may be wondering, How will I know when my baby is hungry or tired? We will show you the progressive cues your baby gives to signal when she needs to eat or sleep. Do you have questions about diapering, grooming, bathing, and umbilical cord care? We can help you feel confident meeting your newborn's needs.

Meal Planning & Preparation
Don t worry about making dinner. We will discuss your dietary needs and make freezer friendly, family meals readily available. We will also make sure you have easy access to breastfeeding friendly one-handed snacks.

Household Organization
We can tidy your home, wash and fold laundry, clean-up dishes, offer turn-downs.
