Consultations are available without a postpartum doula contract. They can run from 2 hours to 4 hours long, and can cover such topics as breastfeeding, baby soothing tecniques, general parenting support, or postpartum concerns. Because sometimes you need a human being to navigate the abundance of baby information availble.

In search of a full time nanny, or regular nanny needs time off, Mountain doula will occassionally offer this service to current, or former clients, on a temporary basis only.
