The Golden Month

Four weeks of hands-on care, so you can sink into life with your baby while someone looks after you.

Across many cultures, the first forty days after birth are treated as sacred, a time when the mother is fed, warmed, and cared for while she recovers and falls in love with her baby. The Golden Month brings that tradition into your Basel home.

How it works

Before your baby arrives, we meet for a planning visit in your final trimester. As a former nurse and clinical nutrition specialist, I’ll help you think through recovery, feeding, food, and the support your family will actually need, your own postpartum plan, ready before you need it.

Then, once your baby is here, I come to you: ten home visits of three hours each, usually spread over two to three day time sessions a week across your first month. My first visit is within days of you coming home.

What our time can hold

•Warm, nourishing meals cooked in your kitchen, made for postpartum recovery

•Feeding support — breast, bottle, or both

•Newborn care alongside you: bathing, settling, sleep rhythms

•Space to tell your birth story and feel whatever arrived with it

•Time with older siblings so you can rest with the baby

•Steady clinical knowledge, so small worries get answered before they grow

Every family’s Golden Month looks different, we shape it around yours.

Settling In

For families who want steady support through the first fortnight. Five three-hour home visits across your first two weeks, nourishing food, feeding support, newborn care alongside you, plus the same prenatal planning visit so everything’s ready before your baby arrives.

A Nourishing Visit

One three-hour home visit, shaped around whatever you need most that day, a cooked meal and a rest, feeding support, or simply a calm, knowledgeable presence. A lovely way to try my care, top up after family visits end, or gift to a new mother you love.
