What Support Can Look Like After Birth

After your baby arrives, Vivara visits are designed to support both you and your baby through:

  • Newborn assessments including weight checks, feeding support, jaundice screening, and vital signs

  • Postpartum recovery assessments such as bleeding, incision or perineal healing, breast health, and overall physical recovery

  • Lactation and infant feeding support, including troubleshooting and education

  • Emotional wellbeing check-ins and mental health screening

  • Education around normal versus concerning postpartum and newborn changes

  • Holding your baby so you can rest, shower, eat, or take a moment for yourself

  • Gentle holistic supports woven into care when appropriate

  • Professional nursing documentation to support continuity of care and insurance reimbursement

    Each visit is guided by your needs that day. There are no rushed timelines and no one-size-fits-all approach.

Families Often Reach Out to Us When

Many families connect with Vivara during pregnancy, knowing they want support in place before their baby arrives.

Expectant parents often reach out when:

  • They want postpartum support arranged before birth, so care is already in place

  • They are planning for recovery after a C-section or medically complex birth

  • They want lactation and feeding support available from the very beginning

  • They are mindful of postpartum mental health and want proactive support

  • They are expecting their first baby and want guidance once they’re home

  • They have experienced a difficult postpartum period before and want a different experience this time

  • They want professional, in-home Registered Nurse care lined up before delivery

You do not need to wait until things feel hard to reach out. Planning ahead creates a softer landing.

Kind Words From Our Clients

  • "My nurse was a light and an anchor in my postpartum. She validated everything that felt heavy, and also helped me to recognize the parts that were going great, because it’s hard to know in that haze. I experienced my second postpartum with a different confidence and ease and a big part of that was because of my nurse's input. She gave me the confidence to do EC with my baby, and she felt way more accessible for medical guidance than my midwives."

    - Leah

  • "My nurse is so caring and kind! She understands what postpartum is all about & provides so much support during that special but difficult postpartum healing period. Her non judgemental, loving, compassionate care is what all moms deserve & I am so thankful for her! She helped me feel empowered in motherhood and helped me get through some rough days. She is truly so amazing & I highly recommend Vivara's services!"

    - Dani

  • "Our 9 month old has had a couple of cranio and myofacial release sessions with my nurse and we have seen marked improvement in his sleep, tolerance of being on his tummy and with his tummy issues. My nurse makes every session fun, listens to our son’s cues and explains what she is doing. She is willing to try different methods to make it as comfortable as possible while still meeting the goals of the session."
