Feel Calm, Confident and Prepared for Your Baby’s First Year

Private 1:1 support for expecting and new moms who want clear personalized guidance through pregnancy, postpartum, and every stage of baby’s first year.

What Life Looks Like Right Now

  • You're saving posts, Googling questions, reading parenting advice, and getting different advice everywhere you turn.

  • Feeding, sleep, schedule, newborn care, and development all seem to come with a hundred different options.

  • You have questions you know won’t fit into a quick checkup appointment.

  • You want to feel prepared before the baby arrives, but you’re not even sure what you need to know right now.

  • You want to trust yourself as a mom instead of constantly wondering if you’re doing it right.

What Life Could Look Like

  • You have a pediatric expert in your corner from pregnancy through your baby’s first birthday.

  • You know what to expect before each new stage arrives.

  • You have a trusted place to bring the questions that don’t fit into a 15-minute appointment slot.

  • You understand your options without feeling pressured into one “right” way to feed, sleep, schedule or parent your baby.

  • You feel confident making decisions that fit your baby and your family.

  • You spend less time searching for answers and more time actually enjoying motherhood.

You Don’t Have To Wait Until You’re Struggling to Get Support

Whether you are preparing before your baby arrives or you’re already a few weeks or months into motherhood, there will be moments you don’t feel completely prepared for. Having support in your corner means you don’t have to figure out every new stage alone.

You can get ahead of what’s coming, ask the questions that keep circling in your mind, and feel more confident making decisions for your baby and your family. If things already feel harder than you expected, you haven’t missed your chance to get support.

You don’t have to wait for things to feel hard to get support. And if they already do, you can start here.

Baby's First Year

Private 1:1 support for expecting and new moms who want real guidance with feeding, sleep, well-baby care, mom care, and development throughout pregnancy, postpartum and baby’s first year.

Baby's First Year isn't another parenting app or a stack of guidelines that assume every baby is the same. It's personalized support from someone who gets to know you, your baby, your family and the questions that matter most to you. Then we make decisions with confidence instead of sorting through conflicting advice on your own.

You can't be at the pediatrician's office every time something comes up. A new rash. A sleep change. A feeding question. Something you don’t want to wait weeks to ask. Baby's First Year gives you support in between those visits so you’re not left searching for answers on your own.

It’s for the mom who wants to feel prepared, supported and present in this season instead of feeling like she’s just trying to get through it.

This is for you if…

  • You're Googling the same question five different ways because you’re still unsure of the right answer

  • You're getting conflicting advice from people who are all supposed to know what they're doing

  • You're second-guessing the decisions you’re making for your baby

  • You want this season to feel special, not like something you’re just trying to survive

  • You want to feel prepared before baby arrives, but you’re not sure what you actually need to know

What you’re looking for:

  • One trusted person who knows you, your baby, and your family

  • Confidence in the choices you’re making, big and small

  • Guidance that fits your family instead of a one-size-fits-all plan

  • A baby's first year you get to enjoy, not just get through

What you’re looking for:

How my approach is different

Most support is focused on one problem at a time, like sleep OR feeding, instead of looking at the whole picture.

We look at feeding, sleep, well-baby care, sick-baby care, mom care, and development together so you’re supported as a whole family.

Generic guidelines and parenting apps can’t account for your baby’s specific needs

I get to know your baby, your family, and what’s already been tried so the support is personalized to you.

Even a great pediatric visit may not leave time for every question.

Baby's First Year fills the gap between those visits, without replacing them.

Free advice online can’t take into account your baby's history, temperament, or what you’ve already tried.

You get personalized support from someone who knows you, your goals, your baby and what matters most to your family.

Most parenting resources focus entirely on the baby and treat the mom as an afterthought.

Mom care is one of the five pillars here, because you matter in this too, not just the baby.

You deserve to feel supported, steady and confident in motherhood.

What This Year Can Feel Like with the Right Support

You feel more confident making decisions for your baby without constantly second-guessing yourself.

You know what to expect as your baby grows, so each new stage feels less overwhelming.

You have someone to turn to when questions come up instead of carrying them around for days.

You feel supported as a mom too, not just responsible for taking care of everyone else.

You and your partner feel more prepared to handle the changes that come with a new baby.

You get to be present for your baby’s first year instead of feeling like you’re constantly trying to catch up.

A Note From Me

I know what it's like to look like you have it all together and still feel overwhelmed underneath it all.

When I became a mom, I had the medical knowledge. I knew the milestones, the feeding recommendations, the things to watch for. But knowing the information and actually living motherhood are two very different things.

There were still moments when I questioned myself, felt anxious and needed support too.

That experience changed the way I think about caring for moms. You don’t just need more information. You need someone who can help you make sense of it, remind you what matters, and support you as a person while you’re learning your baby.

That’s why I created Baby’s First Year.

I want you to feel prepared before the hard moments come, supported when they do, and confident enough to actually enjoy this season while you’re in it. I want you to be able to look back on this year and remember the moments, not just how much you worried through them.

You deserve care too.

If this feels like where you are, I'd love to talk. Apply below, and let's figure out what support could look like for you.

FAQ

Do I still need to see my pediatrician while I'm in Baby's First Year?

Yes. Baby’s First Year is designed to support you between visits, not replace your pediatrician. You’ll still keep all your routine wellness visits and I will help you think through when it may be time to reach out to your child’s medical team.

I'm not a first-time mom, will this still help me?

Absolutely. Every baby is different, every postpartum period is different and every season of motherhood can bring new questions. Baby's First Year is for moms who want personalized support during pregnancy, postpartum, and their baby’s first year, whether it’s the first baby or the fourth.

What if my partner isn't sure this is worth it?

That's okay. This is a big decision and it makes sense for both of you to feel comfortable with it. A discovery call is a good place to ask questions, talk through what support would look like and decide together whether it feels like the right fit.

Is this the same as hiring a sleep coach or a lactation consultant?

No. Those specialists can be incredibly helpful for specific concerns. Baby’s First Year looks at the whole picture, including feeding, sleep, development, well-baby care, sick-baby care and mom care, while giving you one consistent person who knows you and your baby.

What happens after I apply?

You'll book a free discovery call to talk through where you are, what kind of support you’re looking for and whether Baby’s First Year feels like the right fit. If it does, we’ll decide together what the next best step looks like.

My baby is already here. Is it too late to join?

Not at all. You can start during pregnancy or anytime during your baby’s first year. I will meet you where you are and focus on what would be most helpful for your family right now.
