The postpartum and newborn care at North Star really sets us apart! We believe that your birth is just the beginning of your life with your child, and that support after your baby arrives is just as important, if not more important, than the prenatal care. To help you adjust to life with your new baby, your midwife provide 6 postpartum and newborn visits.

One of the main reasons we chose North Star Midwifery is the amount of postpartum care they provide.  It was so nice to able to snuggle in with my baby and have Aly come to us for check-ups in the first week

• Home visits on days 1, 3, and 7 after the birth to check on breastfeeding, newborn weight gain, physical healing, and your and your baby’s overall wellness
