Why I Believe Every Family Deserves Daytime Postpartum Support
When I had my babies, I didn’t need someone to hold the baby all night—I needed someone to hold me together during the day.
The truth is, postpartum recovery isn’t just about rest. It’s about being seen, supported, and set up to thrive. For so many families, the daytime is when the cracks start to show: the dishes pile up, feeding gets confusing, your partner goes back to work, and you’re suddenly left holding the baby—literally and figuratively.
That’s where daytime postpartum support comes in. And I believe it should be the norm—not a luxury.
Why Daytime Support Matters
Healing Needs Help: The early postpartum period involves a massive physical and emotional recovery. Someone helping with meals, laundry, baby care, and your emotional well-being makes a real difference in how you heal.
You’re Not Meant to Do This Alone: We’re biologically wired for community postpartum. Being isolated during the day with a newborn can take a toll—support should be part of the plan, not an afterthought.
It Changes the Trajectory: When families feel resourced and supported in the first weeks, it impacts bonding, mental health, feeding success, and confidence for months to come.
Support Isn’t a Privilege. It’s a Plan.
In the East Bay, I work with families who want more than survival. They want to feel nurtured, educated, and human again.
That’s why I offer in-home support that actually meets you where you are—folding laundry, prepping lunch, answering your 2 a.m. questions, and holding space for all of it.
