ALL are advocates of true unconditional, non-judgemental and compassionate birth support- whether you plan for a natural or medicated birth. Doula-support lowers the csection rate by 40%, lowers the need for pain medication and improves the birth outcome for both mother, partner and baby, increases the chances for successful breastfeeding and overall healing from birth- no matter if you choose to have your doula virtually or in person. Which brings us to the next question:

All postpartum doulas are certified and come with great references. Each has her own approach, different certifications and philosophy. ALL are advocates of true unconditional, non-judgemental and compassionate postpartum support- we have postpartum doulas who are also baby specialists, we have a postpartum doula from the Netherlands who works more like the "Kraamverzorgste" in Holland, we have a postpartum doula who is a German midwife and does lactation consultations like in Germany. We have amazing postpartum doulas who cook, run errands and help you create a schedule with your little one. They are doing light household help, too!

Postpartum doulas lower the risk of postpartum depression, improve successful breastfeeding, support overall healing from birth, strengthen mother-partner-baby-bonding- no matter if you choose to have your doula virtually or in person.

All baby specialists are experienced, have their baby specialist certification, are trained in breastfeeding, carry a current CPR-certificate, have a clean and current background check (we run it once a year) and come with great references. We'd be happy to send you the certifications and references upon request. Upon booking your baby specialist the NY Baby takes a $197 referral fee. You'd hire and pay your baby specialist directly.
