Frequently Asked Questions
What is a postpartum concierge nurse?
A postpartum concierge nurse provides personalized, in-home or virtual care for new mothers and their babies. I offer expert support with newborn care, feeding, emotional wellness, recovery tips, and more—focused on easing your transition into motherhood.
How is this different from hiring a doula?
While both postpartum doulas and I share a passion for nurturing families during the fourth trimester, our backgrounds, training, and scopes of practice are different. As a postpartum concierge nurse, I am a licensed healthcare professional with clinical nursing experience in maternal and newborn care. This means I can:
Monitor postpartum healing (bleeding, incision care, vital signs)
Recognize signs of complications like infections or postpartum depression
Provide breastfeeding and bottle-feeding support with a clinical lens
Answer medical-related questions with evidence-based knowledge
Support newborn care including feeding, jaundice awareness, sleep, and routine guidance
Collaborate with your medical providers, if needed
A postpartum doula offers non-medical emotional and physical support—often helping with light household tasks, meal prep, infant soothing, and supporting the emotional wellbeing of the family. Their training is invaluable, but it’s not medical or clinical in nature.
In summary:
A postpartum doula is a wonderful supportive presence.
A postpartum concierge nurse brings clinical expertise alongside that same emotional support—giving families peace of mind through both comfort and professional insight.
