SIBLING CONSULTATION
Facilitating and nurturing the introduction, the needs, and the changing family dynamics with a new baby in the family and how it will affect big siblings. Introducing ways big siblings can be helpful in caring for their new sibling and understanding their new, amazing role as a big brother or sister.
PARTNER CONSULTATION
A hands-on consult with partners helping them with newborn care- changing diapers, giving baths, swaddling, assisting with breastfeeding positions, kangaroo holding, and answering questions and concerns. Empowering partners to feel confident in caring for their babies and assisting with breastfeeding and support.
SKIN TO SKIN (KANGAROO) CONSULTATION
While crucial during the first hours after delivery, skin to skin is recommended far beyond and benefits persist for years. The consultation will explore all the benefits of kangaroo holding such as physiologic stability, brain, cognitive and motor development, improved immune system function, weight gain, better sleep, greater bonding with decrease in stress and crying, increases prolactin and breast feeding and a multitude of other benefits. Consult can also include benefits of baby wearing and demonstration using different carriers and appropriate positions.
NUTRITIONAL CONSULTATION
Duration: 2-3 hours (In-home) Infants 5-6 months and older
The first 1,000 days of a baby’s life are the most critical for brain, body, metabolism, and immune system development. A hands on consultation exploring all the specifics of introducing one food at a time through home-made organic purees. Produce (fresh organic fruits and vegetable), means to blend, ideal feeding bowl and spoon and containers to freeze will be provided. A step by step consultation on making purees (steaming and blending), storing and safely introducing purees. Developmental signs of readiness will be explored. Nothing more enjoyable, messy and beautiful than watching your child learn to love a healthy, colorful palate of tastes and nutrition.
