Hi mama!

I’m Danielle, a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist who’s here to support your feeding journey!

You deserve access to postpartum support and guidance, which is why I created Bringing Home Babies for expecting and new moms. Being a Postpartum Doula and Lactation Counselor, i’ve seen how hard breastfeeding can be, i’ve seen the overwhelmed mom trying to juggle it all while trying to figure out how to care for her baby. I very quickly realized how the education around postpartum and bringing a new baby home is seriously lacking. So I decided to change that.

Everyone always tells you that your instincts will kick in or that it will come so naturally and while that might be true for some, thats not always the case for most new moms. Trying to care for yourself and a new baby, along with navigating the ins and outs of breastfeeding is a lot! It can feel very intimidating and overwhelming for many. Through all of the ups and downs of motherhood moms need help and support.

I’m here to help you worry less and to feel more confident so that you can thrive in the fourth trimester and beyond!

As a new mom, you deserve to have less worry and more confidence in your postpartum and motherhood journey.

My mission at lactation with danielle

Women have nine months of support the moment they find out they are pregnant and have one follow up appointment with their doctor at six weeks postpartum. A postpartum follow up might be less than 15 minutes long and then that new mom is sent on her way with her baby to figure out the rest.

Women need so much more support than just one follow up visit with their doctor.

Where does the expecting mom go when she wants to learn more in depth about what to expect after birth and what she needs/needs to do ahead of time to prepare? What about the new mom who has questions and feels unsure, seeking support and guidance?

What happens when that mom doesn't have access to tools, resources and support to help her through postpartum and the challenges of being a new mom? What about all of the unseen parts about postpartum that are ignored and never talked about?

Women do not deserve to figure this season of life out on their own. It is my mission to help expecting and new moms navigate the fourth trimester by helping you with planning for your postpartum and supporting you while you are in the thick of it. Bringing Home Babies was created for all mamas out there. To prepare, educate, support, and empower them.
