What is Postpartum Support
• Postpartum Doulas aim to empower parents during their transition into parenthood.
• They offer emotional and physical support for the new mom and baby, especially during the 4th trimester.
• Doulas provide a listening ear to help process birth stories and validate the emotional journey of new parents.
• Provide postpartum comfort measures and assistance with establishing a routine.
• Help with breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, and pumping.
• Offer emotional support for partners during transition to parenthood.
• Perform light errands such as grocery shopping, baby's laundry and dishes.
• Demonstrate newborn care and provide modest breaks for new parents.
• Screen for maternal mental health and assist with sibling bonding.
• Offer evidence-based resources and referrals as needed.
Classes
We were not meant to parent in solitude. Join us once a week for developmentally appropriate baby and parent classes. Low key, collaborative time to share, listen and support one another on this incredible journey. Come as you are, bring an open heart, an open mind and maybe a snack!
All classes will be held in the West Adams area of Los Angeles

Why Infinity Squared?
When Scout was only a little one herself, she and her mother would share their love by saying, "I love you infinity squared."
This phrase noted that there was no beginning and certainly no end to the love between them. After each day would be another, regardless of physical presence. Years later, she repeats the same mantra of love to her own babies, but also to her village of support. While your postpartum time certainly has a beginning, it most definitely does not have an end. Everyday will bring new adventures, and you will continue to grow and change forever. Each diaper, snuggle, spit up, minute, day, week, and year of growth continues the cycle of love, infinity squared.
