Bringing your NICU graduate home is both an exciting and overwhelming milestone! After weeks or months in the NICU, you may feel both eager and uncertain about caring for your little one at home. Not only have you just had a baby, you’ve also had to learn to navigate the NICU life…before navigating home life. I’ll help you adapt to your new normal.
NICU graduates often need more specialized care, and families benefit from tailored education and support. That’s why I created this service—as your experienced NICU doula, I will walk alongside you to help translate and navigate this next chapter. I’ll meet you in your home before discharge to help prepare your space and make sure you feel ready for your baby’s arrival. From there, I’ll continue to provide follow-up visits in your home, daily, weekly or twice weekly, depending on your needs—for as long as you need the support.
The goal will be the same as my Cradle Concierge doula support-guidance, education and support tailored entirely to your needs that day with the sole purpose of improving bonding, confidence and creating breathing room into your life.
During our time together, I’ll tend to you and/or your NICU graduate with a warm, attentive presence-—handling feeds, diaper changes, bathing, soothing, snuggles, sibling bonding and nap support—so you can recharge, or reconnect with whomever or whatever you’ve been putting on hold.
What This Service Includes
Pre-Discharge Home Preparation
We will meet virtually before your baby’s discharge to help prepare your space, review safe sleep and care essentials, and ensure you feel ready for this important step. We will also chat about how to prepare baby for home while still in the NICU.
Ongoing In-Home Support
Once your baby is home, I provide regular follow-up visits and doula support. These visits focus on guidance for daily newborn care, neurodevelopmental support, and answering all the questions that naturally come up during this new stage.
Family Education & Confidence Building (Anticipatory Guidance)
From feeding strategies to soothing techniques to reading your NICU infants behavioral cues to developmental milestones, bathing and sibling bonding- I’ll equip you with the knowledge and reassurance you need to care for your brave NICU graduate.
Flexible Duration of Care
Support continues for as long as your family needs—whether that’s a a couple days per week for a few weeks or several months.
Who This Service Is For
Families preparing to bring their NICU graduate home
Parents (maternal or adoptive) who want extra confidence and education around neurodevelopmental care
Caregivers who value continuity of support beyond the hospital walls
These hours of care are meant to meet you exactly where you are—whether your seeking more professional education, in need of rest, recovery, or uninterrupted time to catch up on the pieces of life that are hard to reach with a newborn in your arms. However you choose to use this time, the goal is unwavering: to help you feel more steady, supported, and held during these tender early weeks with your brave NICU graduate. These hours are yours to use as you need and see fit.
✨ These babies hold an incredibly special place in my heart—not only as a 10-year NICU nurse or member of the NICU Neurodevelopmental Care Committee, but also as a mom to a late preterm baby myself. I understand firsthand the unique joys and challenges that come with this transition and can whole heartedly say this is my favorite service I offer!
With the NICU Graduate Program, my goal is to bridge the gap between the NICU and your home- helping you adjust to your new normal. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
