Postpartum Care 

Carrie Sizer​

​

We are extremely excited to announce that we are now offering postpartum care for families that feel they may need extra support during the first 6 weeks after your baby is born. 

​

Our postpartum program offers home visits, flexible scheduling, and comprehensive clinical care and education focused on the fourth trimester. This program is covered by MSP and is available to anyone with active MSP, regardless of whether they gave birth with a doctor and are seeking additional support.

​

Postpartum care continues for six weeks. During this time, you will have scheduled appointments at your home and/or in the hospital, and you can reach out anytime with urgent concerns or questions.

​

During postpartum visits, Carrie will:

  • Monitor the health and recovery of both you and your baby

  • Provide breastfeeding and lactation support

  • Weigh your baby and track their growth

  • Offer or refer for routine newborn screenings (e.g., jaundice screening, newborn metabolic testing, and hearing tests)

  • Share guidance on newborn care, feeding, and development

  • Discuss the physical and emotional changes you may experience after birth

  • Conduct routine postpartum tests, such as Pap tests, when necessary

 

If you’re interested in becoming a postpartum client, please fill out the application form. Please note that we often have waitlists, as Carrie has a limited number of clients she can take on each month. â€‹â€‹â€‹
