Thank you for what you do. There is so much support while pregnant...
and then you have the baby and that's when the REAL assistance is needed.

Postpartum Doula Services
Let's face it, parenting a newborn is one of the toughest jobs there is. You may wonder, is your baby getting enough milk, how do you know when to feed your baby versus take other comfort measures, will you ever not feel so sleep-deprived? And unlike almost any other job you might have, this one doesn't come with manuals or operating instructions that are one size fits all. Gone are the days when our mothers and sisters or other significant women lived nearby and helped ease us into new motherhood. That's where we come in. Literally.
First Daze & Nightzzz doulas come to your home to help in those first days, weeks and months after bringing home a new baby. As trained, professional caregivers, we provide guidance, emotional support and practical assistance to make the transition from pregnancy to motherhood more manageable.

• Newborn care instruction & breastfeeding education

• Guidance & support for adoptive families • Light household chores & simple meal preparation

What clients are saying:
"Pam brings intelligence, compassion, and a heartfelt interest in the well-being of families to her role as a doula and breastfeeding educator. She has the uncanny ability to intuit what kinds of help are most needed without being asked – an immeasurable gift during the foggy, sleep-deprived days of early parenthood! She also has a special ability to help anxious new parents discover their own innate wisdom and skill, fostering confidence and enhancing the bond with their babies. Pam's natural sense of humor, patience, and obvious enjoyment of her work are just the icing on the cake. She has been nothing short of a gift to our family through our two sons' early days, delivering us across rocky early days of nursing, and helping us to maintain a functional household when our own extended family was not available. I cannot recommend her highly enough!"
