Sleep

Creating healthy sleep foundations doesn’t have to be overwhelming. For babies over 6 months, virtual Gentle Sleep Consulting provides one-on-one guidance to help your family build consistent, age-appropriate routines. Your certified consultant will create a personalized sleep plan that aligns with your family’s values, educate you on safe sleep, and support you every step of the way.

For newborns and younger babies, our postpartum doulas specialize in gentle in-home sleep shaping and overnight respite support. This nurturing, hands-on care helps your whole family ease into better rest and recovery, a beautiful investment in peace of mind and restorative sleep.

Lactation

Infant feeding tends to be one of the biggest learning experiences both you and your baby will need to navigate. Our lactation consultants are available for virtual consults to aid in breastfeeding to bottle feeding and everything between. It is amazing how adjustments can be made to make this part of newborn care just a little easier.

Workshops

Getting together with the community to share best practices, tips and tricks, and guidance from other experts is incredibly important to us at Helping Hands. We believe that in parenting, you really need a village.
