  • Breastfeeding/Bottle-feeding support.

  • Assistance with the "first bath" for the infant. 

  • Support with emotional and physical recovery after birth.

  • Caring for other children in the home during the adjustment period.

  • Assistance with setting up and organizing the nursery and changing/feeding locations in the home.
