Postpartum Support & Newborn Care Packages in NYC
Every family in Manhattan has different needs. Some require the "extra set of hands" during the frantic morning hours, while others need the restorative sleep that only professional overnight newborn care can provide. At Smooth Transitions, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all support.
Our packages are designed as a concierge experience, providing you with a dedicated Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist to guide you through the first weeks and months of parenthood. We serve families across Tribeca, the Upper East Side, the West Village, and all of Manhattan, ensuring that regardless of your schedule, your family has a "smooth transition" home.
Hands On Postpartum Doula Care Designed Around You
Recovery, baby sleep, and feeding support so you can focus on your family.
THE SOFT LANDING | Starting at $2,800
(Early InHome + Virtual)
The first week home is the hardest and the second week isn't much easier. The Soft Landing meets you in those critical early days coming home from the hospital with hands-on in-home support, then transitions into weekly virtual care to keep you grounded and guided all the way to the 6-week mark.
Your Journey:
Week 1 | 3 Daytime In-Home Visits (3 hrs each) Intensive early support focused on:
Newborn feeding (breast, bottle, or combination)
Postpartum recovery guidance and emotional check-ins
Newborn care education and early sleep rhythm shaping
Partner support and education
Week 2 | 2 Daytime In-Home Visits (3 hrs each) Continued hands-on support as you begin to find your rhythm:
Feeding refinement and troubleshooting
Sleep shaping and routine building
Postpartum recovery checkin
Weeks 3–6 | Weekly Virtual Sessions (1 per week) Once a week virtual check-ins to keep you supported and confident as you grow into your new normal. Each session is tailored to where you are that week — no two are the same.
Written care summary and personalized recommendations at close of care
Best for: Families who want intensive in-person support in the earliest days, then prefer the flexibility of virtual care as they settle into life with their newborn. Also, a wonderful fit for families outside of Manhattan's core service area.
Overnight packages available upon request and subject to availability.
Hourly rate optional. 18-hour minimum.
THE GOLDEN RECOVERY | Starting at $3,800 (Belly Binding + Postpartum Support)
Healing after birth is not a luxury, but it is a necessity. The Golden Recovery weaves together the ancient tradition of Bengkung belly binding with expert postpartum and newborn care support, creating a 4-week experience designed to restore your body from the inside out.
Belly binding works best when done consistently, which is why this package is intentionally structured around an every three-day rhythm which is the optimal spacing for your body to integrate each session's healing benefits before the next.
Your Journey:
Weeks 1–3 | 3 Belly Binding and postpartum Sessions (every 3 days for 3 hours) Each visit includes traditional Bengkung belly binding with womb oil application and castor oil packs, alongside:
Lactation and infant feeding support
Herbal recovery support, including herbs for sitz baths
Newborn care education and daily rhythm guidance
Gentle sleep shaping guidance
Postpartum recovery and emotional well-being check-ins
Week 4 | Final Integration Visit A final in-home session to support your continued healing and confidence as you move forward independently. Includes:
Continued lactation and feeding support
Herbal recovery guidance
Newborn care education and sleep shaping
Personalized care summary and recommendations at close of care
Week 6 & 8 | Virtual CheckIn A dedicated virtual session at the 6-week mark to revisit your recovery, answer any lingering questions about your journey and baby sleep, and celebrate how far you've come. A completed daily schedule. Week 8 we will go over any questions you may have and adjust/troubleshoot baby’s schedule as needed.
Best for: Mothers who want a dedicated postpartum healing experience; especially those healing from a C-section, managing diastasis recti, or looking to honor their recovery with intention and consistency.
THE FOURTH TRIMESTER IMMERSION | Starting at $4,500 (Day + Night Hybrid)
The fourth trimester is not just a season, but it's a transformation. In the 12 weeks following birth, your body, your identity, and your family are all becoming something new. You deserve support that honors that depth.
This is our signature hybrid package which is a carefully sequenced blend of two overnights and four daytime in-home visits, built around the science of postpartum recovery and newborn sleep rhythms. This is not just an extra set of hands. This is expert-level, concierge support designed to help your family thrive.

Investing in Your Family’s Wellness
Choosing a postpartum package is an investment in your family's long-term health. New York City parents face unique pressures—from returning to high-intensity careers to navigating the city without a local support network. Our packages provide the "village" you need.
By securing a package with Smooth Transitions, you aren't just buying hours; you are securing an expert partner who will help reduce parental anxiety, lower the risk of postpartum depression, and ensure your baby gets the best start possible.
What People Are Saying
-
Working with Yvonne was an invaluable investment. From before baby came, her prenatal visit helped put me at ease. Postpartum she brought expertise, a sense of calm and confidence into our home. She’s the full package; from knowledge in postpartum care, a lactation consultant and sleep consultant, we are deeply grateful to have had her support.
— Hiba M.

Working with Yvonne as our postpartum doula was one of the best decisions we made as new parents. From the very beginning, it was clear how deeply she cared for our son, and her calm, knowledgeable presence gave us confidence and peace of mind. We learned so much from her and she struck the perfect balance between sharing her expertise and respecting our own instincts. Yvonne’s support was invaluable in those early weeks, and we will absolutely be working with her again if we have more children. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Yvonne as our doula for both overnight and day care for our newborn daughter. From the moment she stepped into our home, we felt a sense of relief and calmness. Her extensive knowledge and genuine passion for what she does were evident right from the start. Her overnight stays were a lifesaver, allowing us to get some much-needed rest, knowing that our little one was in the safest and most caring hands. She always went above and beyond. Thanks to Yvonne we felt more confident and rested during those first few challenging weeks. We highly recommend her services to any parents looking for a compassionate, skilled, and reliable doula.
— Jodi W.
